How does the EU ETS reform impact allowance prices? : the role of myopia, hedging requirements and the hotelling rule
Bocklet, Johanna; Hintermayer, Martin - 2020
This paper uses a discrete-time partial equilibrium model of the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) to analyze the impact of the recent reform on allowance prices. By including bounded rationality such as myopia or hedging requirements, we find that the Hotelling price path is no longer...

Lifestyle taxes in the presence of profit shifting
Levaggi, Rosella; Marchiori, Carmen; Panteghini, Paolo - 2020
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) cause about 71% of all deaths globally and a considerable increase in health care costs. To tackle this problem, several Governments have designed "sin taxes", i.e, extra payments related to the quantity of unhealthy contents of specific goods. However, unhealthy...

Disposal of petroleum installations : major policy issues
Osmundsen, Petter; Tveterås, Ragnar - 2000
Following the Brent Spar controversy, the OSPAR countries reached a unanimous agreement in 1998 for the future rules for disposal of petroleum installations. The vast majority of existing offshore installations will be re-used or returned to shore for recycling or disposal. For installations...

Carbon content of electricity futures in phase II of the EU ETS
Fell, Harrison; Hintermann, Beat; Vollebergh, Herman R. J. - 2013
We estimate the relationship between electricity, fuel and carbon prices in Germany, France, the Netherlands, the Nord Pool market and Spain, using one-year futures for base and peak load prices for the years 2009-2012, corresponding to physical settlement during the second market phase of the...

Explaining the EUA-CER spread
Gronwald, Marc; Hintermann, Beat - 2016
Because of a link between the EU ETS and the Kyoto Flexible Mechanisms, the emission certificates traded on these markets are in principle interchangeable assets; despite of this, a persistent price difference exists. We explain this price spread using a theoretical model that combines three...

Endogenous emission caps always induce a green paradox
Gerlagh, Reyer; Heijmans, Roweno; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2019
For any emission trading system (ETS) with quantity-based endogenous supply of allowances, there exists a negative demand shock, e.g. induced by abatement policy, that increases aggregate supply and thus cumulative emissions. We prove this green paradox for a general model and then apply it to...

EU ETS and the new green paradox
Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2019
With the new rules of the EU ETS, involving cancellation of allowances, cumulative emissions are no longer fixed but depending on the market outcome. Perino (2018) showed that additional abatement effort can reduce cumulative emissions if it occurs within a few years. This article shows that...
