The Temporal Efficiency of SO2 Emissions Trading
This paper provides an empirical evaluation of the temporal efficiency of the U.S. Acid Rain Program, which implemented a nationwide market for trading and banking sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission allowances. We first develop a model of efficient banking and select appropriate parameter values. Then, we use aggregate data from the first seven years of the Acid Rain Program, to assess the temporal ...
متن کاملLessons Learned from SO2 Allowance Trading
The most ambitious application yet undertaken of a market-based instrument for environmental protection has been for the control of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in the context of acid rain reduction under Title IV of the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990. That Act established an allowance trading program to cut SO2 emissions by 10 million tons from 1980 levels—a 50% reduction. In this article,...
متن کاملVolunteering for Market-Based Environmental Regulation: The Substitution Provision of the SO2 Emissions Trading Program
In this paper we explore the practical and welfare implications of a system of voluntary compliance within a market-based environmental regulation. The Substitution Provision of the SO2 emissions trading program allows the owner or operator of an affected electric utility unit to voluntarily designate a non-affected electric unit to become subject to all compliance requirements of affected unit...
متن کاملEconomics of Pollution Trading for SO2 and NOx

The SO2 allowance market created by Title IV of the 1990 U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments represents the first real test of the wisdom of economists’ advice. Subsequent urban and regional applications of NOx emission allowance trading took shape in the ...
