Der Emissionshandel, derzeit das Hauptinstrument der Klimapolitik in Europa, wird in Zukunft noch weiter an Bedeutung gewinnen. Die spezifischen Eigenschaften des Marktes für CO2-Verschmutzungsrechte unterscheiden sich von anderen Finanzmärkten: Es sind besonders viele Entscheidungen über...

This paper is concerned with carbon price volatility and the underlying causes of large price movements in the European emissions trading market. Based on the application of a combined jump-GARCH model the behavior of EUA prices is characterized. The jump-GARCH model explains the unsteady carbon...

This paper, first, empirically investigates European emission allowance (EUA) prices and, second, evaluates emission trading as a policy measure. Applying combined jump GARCH models yields strong evidence of conditional jump behavior. This implies that EUA prices are subject to unexpected...

This paper applies different copulas in order to investigate the complex dependence structure between EU emission allowance (EUA) futures returns and those of other commodities, equity and energy indices. The analysis yields important insights into the relationship between carbon, commodities...
