Cooperative Emissions Trading Game: International Permit Market Dominated by Buyers
Rapid reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is required to mitigate disastrous impacts of climate change. The Kyoto Protocol introduced international emissions trading (IET) to accelerate the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The IET controls CO2 emissions through the allocation of marketable emission permits to sovereign countries. The costs for acquiring additional pe...
متن کاملEmissions Trading with Profit-Neutral Permit Allocations
This paper examines the impact of an emissions trading scheme (ETS) on industry output, price, costs, emissions, market shares, and pro ts. We develop formulae for the number of emissions permits that have to be freely allocated to rms in order to neutralize any adverse impact the ETS may have on pro ts. Under quite general conditions, industry pro ts are preserved so long as rms are freely a...

This article analyzes five different types of trading architectures, classified into two top-down (UNFCCC driven) and three bottom-up (driven by individual countries or regions) approaches.

The result is a case of "immiserizing" growth in the sense of Bhagwati where the negative terms of trade and tax interaction effects wipe out the gains from trading. Simulation and ...

There will be two levels of trading : a country and an entity level, which both need to be consistent with each other. Besides, features of these two “cap and trade" e...
