Mission Impossible!? On the Harmonization of National Allocation Plans under the EU Emissions Trading Directive

Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas - 2004

Starting in 2005, the EU will implement a CO2 emissions trading scheme. In this paper we show that the outspoken goals of economic efficiency and free allocation of allowances are incompatible with harmonized allocation rules. In general, the assignment of allowances is endogenous and differs...

Efficiency Losses from Overlapping Economic Instruments in European Carbon Emissions Regulation

Böhringer, Christoph; Koschel, Henrike; Moslener, Ulf - 2006

Energy markets and energy-intensive industries in all EU member states – especially in Germany – are subject to a diverse set of policies related to climate change. We analyse the potential efficiency losses from simultaneous application of emission taxes and emissions trading in qualitative...

Assessing Voluntary Commitments: Monitoring is Not Enough!

Böhringer, Christoph; Frondel, Manuel - 2002

This paper deals with a special type of voluntary approach to protect the environment, for example, that we would like to term voluntary commitment. Its major characteristic is that it represents a unilateral declaration without a decisively active role of regulators. In other words, voluntary...

Efficiency, Compensation, and Discrimination: What is at Stake When Implementing the EU Emissions Trading Scheme?

Böhringer, Christoph; Lange, Andreas - 2003

In 2005, an EU-wide emissions trading scheme covering major CO2 producing sites shall come into power. The key objective of the trading scheme is to promote cost-efficiency of carbon reduction within the EU. We identify policy-relevant tradeoffs between overall efficiency, compensation and...

The Efficiency Costs of Separating Carbon Markets Under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme: A Quantitative Assessment for Germany

Böhringer, Christoph; Hoffmann, Tim; de Lara Peñate, … - 2005

From 1 January 2005 onwards the European Union has launched the first largescale international carbon emissions trading program. As the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) covers only part of domestic carbon emissions, it implies a hybrid environmental regulation scheme: Each EU Member State...
