Policies to cap emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the U.S. economy could pose significant costs on the electricity … sector, which contributes roughly 40 percent of total CO2 emissions in the U.S. Using a detailed simulation model of the … electricity sector, we evaluate alternative ways that emission allowances can be allocated. Most previous emissions trading …
