An Experimental Analysis of Auctioning Emission Allowances Under a Loose Cap

Shobe, William; Palmer, Karen L.; Myers, Erica; Holt, … - 2010

The direct sale of emission allowances by auction is an emerging characteristic of cap-and-trade programs. This study … setting to investigate the effects of a loose cap environment on a variety of auction types. We find that all auction formats … studied are efficient in allocating emission allowances, but auction revenues tend to be lower relative to competitive …

CO2 Allowance Allocation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and the Effect on Electricity Investors

Burtraw, Dallas; Kahn, Danny; Palmer, Karen L. - 2005

The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is an effort by nine Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states to develop a regional, mandatory, market-based cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the electricity sector. The initiative is expected to lead to an increase in the...

How consumption carbon emission intensity varies across Spanish households

Basso, Henrique S.; Dimakou, Ourania; Pidkuyko, Myroslav

La prominencia de las políticas de mitigación de emisiones exige una comprensión de su impacto distributivo potencial. Para evaluar la heterogeneidad distributiva, cuantificamos y analizamos la intensidad de emisión del consumo, definida como las emisiones de carbono por unidad de consumo,...
