The relative cost of carbon emissions reductions across regions depends on whether we measure costby marginal or total cost, private or economy-wide cost, and using market or purchasing power parityexchange rates. If all countries are on the same marginal carbon abatement cost curve then...

Trading schemes for emission allowances have become a panacea for nations aspiring toreduce their aggregate emissions of greenhouse gases from industry in a cost-effectivemanner. The contention of this paper is that an emissions trading scheme (ETS) shouldnot be based on blanket coverage of...
