An Experimental Analysis of Compliance in Dynamic Emissions Markets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two important design elements for emission trading programs are whether and to what extent firms are able to bank emissions permits, and how these programs are to be enforced. In this paper we present results from laboratory emissions markets designed to investigate enforcement and compliance when these markets allow permit banking. Banking is motivated by a decrease in the aggregate permit supply in the middle of multi-period trading sessions. Consistent with theoretical insights, our experiments suggest that high permit violation penalties have little deterrence value in dynamic emissions markets, and that the main challenge of enforcing these programs is to motivate truthful self-reports of emissions.

متن کاملAn experimental investigation of repeated auctions and secondary market trading in emissions markets with bankable allowances
We report data from laboratory emissions allowance markets in which allowances do not expire and can be banked between compliance periods. These periods consist of a sealed bid auction, trading, and then compliance. The markets consist of multiple sequential compliance periods. We observe (1) market prices reflect an expectation of future market prices, not underlying equilibrium; (2) allowance...
متن کاملA DSS-Based Dynamic Programming for Finding Optimal Markets Using Neural Networks and Pricing
One of the substantial challenges in marketing efforts is determining optimal markets, specifically in market segmentation. The problem is more controversial in electronic commerce and electronic marketing. Consumer behaviour is influenced by different factors and thus varies in different time periods. These dynamic impacts lead to the uncertain behaviour of consumers and therefore harden the t...
متن کاملAn Experimental Economic Analysis of Carbon Trading Options for Australia
Australia is currently developing a carbon emissions trading program. The Garnaut report recommendations include options for emissions trajectories, coverage, permit allocation, inter-temporality, governance and compliance. This paper reports the results of a series of economic experiments in which we explored spot and future markets given high and low levels of carbon credit reductions. The re...
متن کاملDynamic Correlation between Oil Markets and Financial Markets and Oil and Petrochemical Industries in Iran
In this paper we study the effect of volatility in Brent oil prices on the important indices of financial markets in Iran, as well as the return on gold, from 2008 to 2018 using the Multivariate Exponential GARCH Model (MVEGARCH). We also use the ADCC-FIGARCH model to examine the asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation between Brent oil prices and financial markets in Iran. The results of th...
