▼ Since 2005, industrial installations regulated by the European Union
Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) have been required to surrender a permit for every ton of CO₂ they emit. In addition to the standard EU ETS permit - the European Union Allowance (EUA) - installations are allowed to surrender limited numbers of offsets. Offsets currently trade at a discount relative to EUAs. While it is well known that an offset limit theoretically results in a permit price differential, the current offset limit is not binding in aggregate. This thesis reconciles this nonbinding offset limit with the EUA - offset price differential. It is shown how such a limit can cause a price differential by binding for individual installations even when it is not binding in aggregate. At the same time it is shown how, under certain circumstances, barriers to entry in the offset market result in two types of behavior: installations either use offsets up to what they believe is their cap or forego them entirely. This appears consistent with empirical EU ETS behavior. Results suggest navigating the regulatory process makes up a significant portion of these barriers to entry.

1. Introduction – 2. Emissions mitigation schemes in Australia - the past, present and future – 3. Climate change - level of concern and policy preferences – 4. Interaction between Australian carbon prices and energy prices – 5. Econometric analysis of Australian emissions markets and electricity prices efficiency – 6. Ambiguity in Australian emissions markets – 7. Conclusion.
The aim of the thesis is to bridge the gap between the research conducted in Europe and the USA and the situation in Australia in relation to the efficiency of market based climate change mitigation schemes. The thesis is motivated by the gap in research covering what action on mitigation is occurring in Australia and what the Australian public actually wants in relation to climate change mitigation. The analysis of responses to our survey of the Australian public revealed a wide range of responses to questions on the expected effects of climate change, appropriate policies and whether action should be taken. The dominant view was that the Australian Government should take action on climate change irrespective of international agreement. Two studies were undertaken to test the efficiency of already existing emissions trading markets in Australia with the second using a generalised forecast error variance decomposition analysis technique for the first time on this type of market. It then undertook generalised impulse response function analysis which indicated that when shocks are applied to the electricity prices by the two schemes it returns to equilibrium very quickly. Our research on the efficiency of the market-based schemes found them to be largely inefficient and this is in line with some of the existing International research. While some research has been undertaken internationally to determine why this may be the case, this thesis took current techniques for conducting research on financial markets and applied them to these schemes. The behavioural aspects of the market were analysed and we found evidence that market ambiguity is a factor in the inefficiency. This analysis of actual markets is among the first of its kind on ambiguity in markets. This thesis contributes to existing research in areas either not previously analysed in this depth and by using new research methods. It will benefit both future research and climate mitigation policy direction.

▼ Under the 12`h Five-Year-Plan (FYP), China is moving forward to the implementation of pilot emissions trading scheme (ETS). This would be the first experiment of mandatory ETS in China and also an important sign on the evolution of the climate policy for China.
Voluntary emissions trading practices based around Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Voluntary Emissions Reductions (VERs) have existed in China in recent years. By contrast, the upcoming pilot ETSs in China will be mandatory for covered sectors and installations.
This research compares the EU ETS and the CCX with the China's proposed mandatory pilot ETSs and existing voluntary ETS respectively. Then, challenges that China's ETS may face can be suggested based on the key criteria come up from the EU ETS and the CCX.
The challenges of China's ETS can be found in the respects of the establishment of regulatory contexts, cap setting-up and allowances allocation, designing and implementation of a compliance framework, and establishment and operation of diverse trading mechanisms.
When comes to the co-operation and linkage among proposed Chinese pilot ETSs and a future national ETS in China, two most possible scenarios are discussed in the thesis. The first potential scenario is that the national ETS replaces pilot ETSs. The second potential scenario is that pilots are linked directly and then to expand as the national ETS. On the other hand, the potential linkage between China's ETS and the EU ETS can be expected, especially as the European Commission announced that the EU would assist China in establishing the national ETS according to an agreement signed by the EU and China in September 2012. However, there will be several issues existing in the establishment of a linkage. Whether those two ETSs are compatible and the allowances are recognised by each other are the key elements of the potential linkage building between the EU ETS and the future national ETS in China.

▼ High levels of nitrogen in the Chesapeake Bay have become an environmental concern for regulatory agencies. A significant portion of nitrogen pollution in the Chesapeake Bay comes from agricultural activities in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Agricultural nitrogen pollution is not directly regulated at the federal level, so some states have adopted market-based mechanisms to curb
emissions. However, some of these programs are seeing less farmer participation than expected. We suggest that part of the low participation rates may be due to program design, and the impact risk plays in farmer decision-making. In an effort to better understand participation in the programs, we develop a method to model these programs’ environmental and economic outcomes. Our method couples a mechanistic model of nitrogen pollution with an agricultural production model and evaluates tradeoffs between economic and environmental values. We find that the modeling method shows promise as a tool for policymakers, researchers, and farmers interested in pollution abatement programs. As a proof-of-concept, we apply the model to a Virginia market-based program and test our low-participation hypotheses. We find that the programs may be more effective if they recognize a greater diversity of farming practices. Our modeling tool offers a framework to support pollution abatement programs that are both economically feasible and environmentally effective.

Who is [not] paying the carbon price? The subsidisation of heavy polluters under emissions trading schemes

▼ In the absence of a comprehensive and legally binding international agreement on global emissions reduction, the free of cost allocation of permits has been a political condition of the acceptance of Emissions Trading Schemes (ETSs) in most jurisdictions. As a consequence, up to now, many heavy polluters participating in the ETSs are not paying the full price of carbon. The extent to which pricing carbon affects specific sectors in practice remains unclear in most jurisdictions. In this thesis, I bring together and analyse the economics and legal literature in relation to free allocations. A detailed comparison of the free allocation mechanisms utilised in three ETS systems is then undertaken in order to make recommendations for scheme design rules that will be legally robust and will support the effectiveness of the ETSs, whilst limiting any negative impacts on international trade. Based on a systematic analysis of the available economic data, I observe that carbon leakage rates have been historically overestimated. As a result, governments have been providing free permits to a number of sectors which are not significantly exposed to carbon leakage. Furthermore, the inconsistent eligibility criteria for the free allocation of permits can distort trade between competitors liable under independent schemes. However, such trade distortions may be mitigated by harmonising the free allocation methodologies.The harmonisation process may take place under a linking agreement and should follow a best practice approach, avoiding the eligibility of an excessive number of sectors as carbon leakage exposed. I suggest in this thesis that cumulative criteria of high emission-intensity and high trade-exposure thresholds are recommended, along with the removal of any sole trade-exposure thresholds and sole emissions-intensity thresholds.Differences in the free allocation methodologies can raise legitimate concerns that such allocations can interfere with free trade, thereby invoking the various mechanisms of the World Trade Organization (WTO). I argue that the free allocation of permits is a subsidy according to the definition provided by Article 1.1(a)(1) of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement). Subsidies generally represent an unnecessary cost to society and may compromise the fairness of the ETS. I conclude that the European Union Emissions Trading System’s sole emissions-intensity threshold is a de facto specific subsidy, and that it may be actionable if it has adverse effects on the interests of other WTO Members. Furthermore, I argue that the free allocation of permits, based on a trade-exposure threshold, is subject to the notification rule provided by Article XVI, A(1) of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The European Union has been notably failing to comply with this requirement.

▼ Brazil is one of the world’s largest emitters of CO2. However, given its unique
emissions profile, which results from its high proportion of land-use related
emissions together with the potential availability of renewable energy sources, Brazil possesses enormous potential to reduce its CO2
emissions and transit to a low-carbon economy. As part of its efforts to mitigate climate change, the Brazilian Government has developed an ambitious voluntary greenhouse gas
emissions reduction target and a climate change policy, the Brazilian Climate Change Policy, which foresees that a future Brazilian Emission Reduction Market could be part of the country’s efforts to reduce
emissions. However, to date, there has been no formal adoption of such a market or any governmental indication of how it should operate.This thesis examines the possible development and application of an
emissions trading scheme (ETS) in the Brazilian context and analyses whether an ETS would be relevant to assist Brazil in reducing its greenhouse gas
emissions. In particular, the thesis addresses the question of what is the most appropriate legal framework for securing environmental integrity in a future Brazilian ETS. To this end, the adoption or consideration of ETS as a climate change policy, both internationally and in relevant national jurisdictions, is examined and a critical analysis of
emissions trading in the context of the Brazilian legal system and development dynamics is advanced. The key inherent and contingent features of emerging ETS in the EU, New Zealand and Australia are identified and analysed, and the potential benefits of an ETS, together with the optimal conditions for its application in the context of the Brazilian greenhouse gas
emissions profile and corresponding climate change legal and policy framework are assessed and evaluated. The thesis concludes with an analysis of the conditions for optimal incorporation of an ETS into the Brazilian legal framework, identifying the structural and functional elements needed for a Brazilian ETS to effectively reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. By doing so, this thesis models the potential role of ETS in filling a gap in the Brazilian regulatory framework devoted to climate change mitigation.

▼ Gridded, regional photochemical models use simplified photochemical reaction mechanisms, and two commonly used mechanisms are the [California] Statewide Air Pollution Research Center (SAPRC) mechanism and the Carbon Bond (CB) mechanism. Versions of the mechanisms currently in use include SAPRC99 and the CB-IV version from 1996. For the modeling done of the summer of 2000 in southeast Texas, the SAPRC99 mechanism leads to concentrations of ozone that are 30-45 ppb higher than with CB-IV, and is more sensitive to reductions in NOx
emissions. Differences between the mechanisms could have significant consequences for determining the levels of emission reductions that will be required to demonstrate attainment with the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone, with concentrations averaged over 8 hours. Therefore, various modeling tools, together with chamber experiments were used to diagnose the differences between the mechanisms. These differences are due to differences in both reaction rate parameters/stoichiometry and the condensation methods in the mechanisms. Major reasons for the differences are differences in aromatics and free radicals chemistries, which lead to higher radical concentrations in the SAPRC formulation.

▼ This thesis examines the regulatory design of local pilot programs for emissions trading laws and regulations in China. The central investigation is to examine the challenges associated with designing the regulatory elements for China’s emissions trading pilot programs. This examination centres on the fundamental design elements of emissions trading, particularly scoping the coverage of the program; permit allocation; regulating price of the permit; measurement, reporting and verification; monitoring and compliance; and linkage with the offset schemes.
To identify and explore the design challenges for local emissions trading laws and regulations within China, this thesis looks at four sources of information and influence in relation to the regulatory design. The four sources include international law, China’s institutional and regulatory framework for emissions reduction, theoretical design for emission trading that are proposed in the literature and working models of emissions trading, and a case study of the pilot emissions trading program in Tianjin.
The first source is international law. International law provides lessons for emissions reduction schemes that can be learned from China’s involvement in the Clean Development Mechanism projects and the process of offsets allowed insights into the technicalities of designing emissions trading schemes and their procedural operation. The second source is China’s institutional and regulatory framework for emissions reduction. This framework is relevant to the regulatory design of emissions trading laws and regulations because it identifies the role of emissions trading in the mix of Chinese climate policy. The framework examines the characteristics of China’s institutional and regulatory arrangements for emissions reduction from both horizontal and vertical dimensions.
The third source of information in relation to exploring the design challenges looks at the theoretical designs in the literature exploring emissions trading schemes and working models of emissions trading in the European Union and in Australia. The theoretical design suggestions and working models provide important prototypes for the design elements for local emissions trading laws and regulations in China. The design elements provide template to examine the specific regulatory choices made by local authorities, and how these elements are adapted to local circumstances within China. The case study of a pilot program in Tianjin considers the interrelationship between China’s central and local authorities when implementing the concept of emissions trading and in developing the specific design elements of emissions trading laws and regulations for a local pilot program.

▼ Approximately 136,000 refuse trucks were in operation in the United States in 2007. These trucks burn approximately 1.2 billion gallons of diesel fuel a year, releasing almost 27 billion pounds of greenhouse gases. In addition to contributing to global climate change, diesel-fueled refuse trucks are one of the most concentrated sources of health-threatening air pollution in most cities. The landfills that they ultimately place their waste in are the second largest source of human-related methane
emissions in the United States, accounting for approximately 23 percent of these
emissions in 2007. At the same time, methane
emissions from landfills represent a lost opportunity to capture and use a significant energy resource.
Many landfill-gas-to-energy (LFGTE) projects are underway in an attempt to curb
emissions and make better use of this energy. The methane that is extracted from these landfills can be converted into a transportation fuel, sold as a pipeline-quality natural gas, operate turbines for electricity, or be flared. The unique relationship that occurs between refuse trucks' constant visits to the landfill and the ability of the landfill itself to produce a transportation fuel creates an ability to accomplish
emissions reduction in two sectors with the implementation of using landfill gas to fuel refuse trucks.
Landfill owners and operators are very reluctant to invest in large capital LFGTE projects without knowing their long-term feasibility. The costs and benefits associated with each LFGTE project have been presented in such a way that owners/operators can make informed decisions based on economics while also implementing clean energy technology. Owners/operators benefit from larger economic returns, and the citizens of the surrounding cities benefit from better air quality.
This research focused on six scenarios: converting landfill gas (LFG) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) for use as a transportation fuel, converting LFG to compressed natural gas (CNG) for use as a transportation fuel, converting LFG to pipeline-quality natural gas, converting LFG to electricity, flaring LFG, and doing nothing.
For the test case of a 280-acre landfill, the option of converting LFG to CNG for use as a transportation fuel provided the best benefit-cost ratio at 5.63. Other significant benefit-cost findings involved the LFG-to-LNG option, providing a 5.51 benefit-cost ratio. Currently, the most commonly used LFGTE option of converting LFG to electricity provides only a 1.35 benefit-cost ratio while flaring which is the most common mitigation strategy provides a 1.21, further providing evidence that converting LFG to LNG/CNG for use as a transportation fuel provides greater economic benefits than the most common LFGTE option or mitigation strategy.

▼ Input Output frameworks have been widely used to study the emissions of industrial sectors either in specific economies or globally but usually focus on aggregated measures under production or consumption accounting principles (PAP and CAP). This leads to a lack of transparency in terms of the structure of the emissions and provides limited information on what are the main drivers of the emissions allocated to each sector under PAP and CAP. This information gap limits the options of policy makers to interventions on whole sectors, rather than the components of their supply chains that hold the major shares of the total embodied emissions. In this thesis we argue in favour of a more disaggregated, a ‘hot-spot’, approach that provides a better understanding of the structure of emissions under both of these headline measures. We develop a methodology to identify CO2 ‘hot-spots’ in downstream and upstream supply chains, both domestic and global. The methodology is applied first to a Single Region Input Output framework for China in 2005 identifying ‘Electricity, Gas and Water Supply’ as the Chinese sector with the highest direct emissions. Examination of the sector’s domestic downstream supply chain reveals that the majority of emissions are generated to support the final demand of other domestic sectors. Of these ‘Construction’ is the main driver and it also is the Chinese sector that is found to have the largest domestic CO2 footprint, with several emissions ‘hot-spots’ in its domestic upstream supply chain. The ‘hot-spot’ methodology is then extended to a global Inter-Regional Input Output framework to consider ‘hot-spots’ in a global supply chain context. By focusing on 2009 (the year for which appropriate data are most recently available) and UK total final demand we find that Chinese ‘Electricity, Gas and Water Supply’ is the non-UK sector with the largest direct emissions driven by UK total final demand. Studying this sector’s downstream supply chain outside China reveals that a large share of the sector’s emissions is ultimately generated to support several UK-based sectors’ domestic final demand. Furthermore, the UK ‘Health and Social Work’ sector is identified as the UK sector with the second largest global footprint to support domestic final demand. We identified a number of ‘hot-spots’ in the international part of its upstream supply chain, with a key finding being its dependence on the activity and the embodied emissions in global chemicals production. Finally, the thesis goes on to demonstrate how conducting ‘hot-spot’ analysis on disaggregated regional/sub-national Input Output tables can provide more detailed local level analysis of ‘hot-spot’ findings from the Inter-Regional Input Output framework. The key finding in this respect is the importance of introducing region specific emissions data where possible, as non-region specific data can lead in incorrect estimation of the embodied emissions in any component of the supply chains of any sectors. In general, through this research project we developed a…

▼ Global warming that occurs due to emissions from a country or a country group was studied from two different points of view. Firstly, warming effect caused by Finnish emissions from 1900 to 2100 was assessed using a model that describes removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere by pulse response functions, and calculates the radiative forcing caused by an increase in atmospheric concentration. Secondly, Finland's share of global emissions was assessed for the time period during which detailed greenhouse gas inventories were available, i.e. from 1990 to 2003, taking into account uncertainties in emission estimates. The uncertainty estimate was made using literature, measurement data and expert judgement on input parameter uncertainties. Stochastic simulation was used to combine the uncertainties. In addition, uncertainties in different emissions trading schemes were compared at EU level. Greenhouse gases covered by the study were those included in the Kyoto Protocol, i.e. carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). Sectors covered were energy, industry, transportation, agriculture and waste. LULUCF sectors (land-use, land use change and forestry) were covered more superficially. Finnish greenhouse gas emissions in 2003 were 86 Tg CO2 eq (without LULUCF). According to the results, 95% confidence interval of this figure lies between 82 and 92 Tg CO2 eq. This represents a share of 0.2-0.3% of global emissions. In the same year, Finland's share of global population was 0.1% and share of global GDP 0.4%. The most important contributors to uncertainty were N2O emissions from agricultural soils, N2O from nitric acid production and CH4 from landfills. Inclusion of LULUCF categories in the inventory increased relative uncertainty of net emissions notably (emissions in 2003 were 68 Tg CO2 eq with a 95% confidence interval of 58 to 78 Tg CO2 eq). According to the radiative forcing calculations, forcing caused by Finland will increase from 3 mWm-2 in 1990 to 6-11 mWm-2 by 2100, depending on emission reduction strategies applied, and technological development. In 1990 Finland's share of global radiative forcing was estimated at 0.18% and by 2100 it will decrease to 0.13%, due to increase in global emissions. The results revealed that Finland's share of radiative forcing was smaller than the share of emissions. This was due to Finland's relatively short emission history. It was concluded that uncertainty in EU emissions trading scheme for CO2 (2005-2007) contains rather small uncertainties (±3% based on uncertainties in inventories), but the extension of emissions trading scheme to cover other sectors or gases is likely to increase the uncertainties (up to 21% in Kyoto emissions trading scheme). Both radiative forcing and uncertainty assessment models developed in the thesis can be used in decision making, e.g. for comparing different emission reduction strategies and for planning of future climate commitments.

▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University, Economics 2012.
The dissertation studies the impact of the climate policy in the context of international trade.The first chapter of the dissertation studies how the initial allocation of permits could be determined in an emissions trading system when the location choice of firms is possible. In the traditional theory, the distribution of permits does not matter in the equilibrium decisions because the relocation of firms or industries to countries with less stringent regulation is not considered. The theoretical model of the first chapter emphasizes the importance of permit allocation when the relocation of firms can hurt the welfare of regulated economy and hence the government may try to prevent the welfare loss by allocating more permits to firms whose relocation can hurt the economy more. Then, using the data from the EU emissions trading system (EU ETS) the theoretical predictions are confirmed empirically. Historical emissions, the level of profits, and fixed costs are the key components in the initial permit allocation as economic theory predicts. However, estimation results show that the industrial competitiveness, measured in net imports, does not show a significant influence on the permit allocation.The second chapter revisits the pollution haven hypothesis with the data from the EU emissions trading system. Traditional tests for the pollution haven hypothesis have used general environmental spending measures such as pollution abatement cost, which does not properly contain marginal cost implications. The second chapter provides the reason why permit price interacted with emissions intensity is a better measure for the regulatory stringency theoretically. Empirical results using the data from the EU emissions trading system add supporting yet weak evidence that environmental regulations has some modest adverse impact on international trade. The reason for using the emissions trading system as an emissions reduction tool is that it guarantees the cost-effectiveness under certain conditions. The third chapter examines the cost-effectiveness of the permit market by empirically testing the independence property between the initial permit allocation and the post-trading equilibrium decisions in the EU ETS. It is argued that in the case of the EU ETS transaction cost is the most relevant factor that can hurt the independence property. Theoretical model based on Stavins (1995) predicts how transaction cost affects the post-trading equilibrium. Empirical tests show that the EU ETS is in the process of settling down; first two years of the EU ETS show a significant dependence between the permit allocation and the equilibrium decisions, but the dependence vanishes as the system matures over time.

▼ While the efficiency of cap-and-trade programs has attracted the attention of several countries, equity implications of the programs require equal attention. The programs impact income distribution as the cost of mitigation is passed on to consumers in the form of increased prices. A great deal of literature shows that the incidence of these programs is regressive in developed countries, indicating that this program will exacerbate the distributional equity without appropriate countermeasures. Facing the impending implementation of cap-and trade schemes in South Korea in 2015, a handful of experts have studied the equity implications of the scheme. The literature often provides a partial analysis on equity implications of the scheme focusing only on regional distribution or on distribution between different income groups. However, this dissertation evaluates the comprehensive equity implications of a carbon pricing policy as well as the impacts on other dimensions. Input-output analysis (IOA) is employed to assess the comprehensive impacts of a carbon pricing policy in South Korea. Beyond a typical IOA, hybrid IO tables are developed to estimate energy consumption and CO 2
emissions by sector and to analyze the impacts of the implementation on different sectors. In addition, this study makes it possible to assess equity implications by introducing a transition matrix to link Household Survey Data with the IO table. The analysis of three different carbon-pricing scenarios reveals that a comprehensive participation scenario (S1) impacts economy less adversely than the partial participation case (S2). The S1 more adversely impacts the distribution without revenue recycling. Coal consumption is reduced more in the S2 and the reduction in non-energy use such as naphtha is larger in the S1. Of course, a higher carbon price (S3) can reduce more
emissions and energy consumption, but can more adversely affect economy and distributional equity. Regardless of scenarios, the analysis shows that the households with lower capacity, such as those with low-income or with elderly heads, are likely to be more adversely affected. However, these groups can be beneficiaries if the program is in practice together with revenue recycling through lump-sum transfer. In addition, there is not great difference between the burdens on rural and urban households. In conclusion, there is no best-case scenario for every dimension. Since the policy impacts economy, energy, environment and equity – important pillars of sustainable development – we need to consider the comprehensive impacts of the policy. In addition, we need to explore a more effective method to recycle the revenue to alleviate the inequity.

▼ This thesis analyses two energy and climate policy instruments – namely renewable energy policy and the European Union
Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) – in the context of the distribution of costs and benefits arising from these policies. Household- and industry-level data, as well as market data on carbon and electricity prices are investigated using a combination of descriptive analysis and econometric methods, including time-series regression and choice modelling. Results imply that industry exemptions from contributing to the cost of both renewable energy policy and
emissions trading have led to unexpected and considerable profits to the companies covered by those schemes. This has resulted in households bearing the majority of the costs associated with these policies. Exploratory analysis indicates that low-income households are particularly affected by the associated price increases, because they spend a large fraction of their income on electricity and other
emissions-intensive goods. This thesis shows that policy makers have many options at their disposal with which these policies can be made more equitable. The main design choices with regards to
emissions trading concern the level of free allocation and the use of revenue from the auctions of the remaining allowances not allocated for free. In relation to renewable energy policy, the scope and extent of exemptions for industry from contributing to the cost of the policy and the structure of wholesale and retail electricity markets play a decisive role. Moreover, policy makers should recognise opportunities to reach both environmental and distributional goals across the whole policy portfolio. One example is the use of auctioning revenue from
emissions trading to fund energy efficiency measures targeted at vulnerable households. The results of this thesis suggest that there is no basis for pitching climate protection against equity concerns, but rather that there are many opportunities for policy makers to formulate an integrated approach that addresses both issues concurrently.

▼ This thesis assesses whether – and how – emissions trading schemes are subject to the disciplines of international economic law. Through an analysis of trade and investment agreements and related jurisprudence, it argues that the objects of trade in these schemes, namely carbon units, can be legally characterised as "goods", "services", "financial services", and/or "investments". Reviewing common quantitative and qualitative restrictions on the trade and investment in carbon units, the thesis exposes potential violations of international economic law and discusses possible justifications.

▼ Following the initiation of the European Union
Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) in 2005 the scheme has received significant criticism pertaining to a lack of transparency in its operational mechanics and an inability to present conclusive evidence that it has encouraged a reduction in monitored
emissions. This study utilizes an adaptation of the event study methodology proposed by Ball and Brown (1968) and Fama et al. (1969) in order to assess the impact of the EU ETS on
emissions in the European oil and gas sector as a sample reflective of the scheme on the whole. In doing so, this study compares the annual
emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane for dual listed, single listing and cross listed oil and gas companies on the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange and how these
emissions change over the period 2000-2017; from prior to the EU ETS until the period of most recent data availability. Analysis conducted on the data gathered infers that, while the EU ETS may have exerted some influence on operators’ behavior, the scheme has generally been ineffective in achieving its goal of lowering
emissions and encouraging economic growth.
This study also explores the limitations of the EU ETS and potential drivers of
emissions changes for operators within the scheme. Through such discussion the intention is to better understand the tradeoff between the advantages of cap-and-trade, a quantity mechanism, and
emissions taxation, a pricing mechanism. These mechanisms comprise the majority of the presently adopted
emissions policies globally, including the EU ETS, and China’s and Canada’s
emissions trading schemes. Therefore, in better understanding the implications and effects of these mechanisms, the intention is to contribute to the future adoption and implementation of global
emissions policies.

▼ This thesis explores how tradable greenhouse gas emission permit systems affect investments in heat and power generation. The research question is approached from a capital investor's or the regulator's perspective with six individual articles. Cap-and-trade and baseline-and-credit emissions trading systems are analyzed. The value of an emission permit and other relevant decision variables are treated as stochastic processes in a risk-adjusted framework. Models combining simulation and dynamic programming are presented to analyze single-firm problems with several stochastic variables. The approach extends the standard discounted cash flow analysis by taking into account the value of management's flexibility to adapt and revise later its decisions in response to market development. The implications are analyzed and discussed in association with several technologies. The thesis contributes to the research on emissions trading system design and on practical implications of emissions trading systems on investments in heat and power plants.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Electricity industries worldwide are undergoing rapid and deepening change. This has been largely driven by the market-oriented restructuring underway in many countries and the increasing global concerns about climate change.Unceasingly climate change is becoming one of a major challenge for the sustainable development of power industries, as power generations are the major sources of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. This research is dedicated to developing advanced computational techniques to solve several power system problems that emerge in deregulated electricity markets and changing environmental protection regulations. Three major objectives are included and achieved in this research. The first objective is to assess and quantify the potential impacts on, and changes in, economic efficiency in the electricity generation sector in Australian national electricity market after the implementation of ETS, as opposed to without the introduction of ETS. The focus is on the relative changes in electricity wholesale prices, generators merit order of dispatch, market power and possible compensation to carbon intensive generators.The second objective is to create a constrained multi-objectives evolutionary optimisation model based on decomposition for power system dispatch by minimising generation costs and carbon emissions.The third objective is to develop an electricity price forecast model using differential evolution (DE) algorithm-enhanced evolutionary extreme learning machine (E-ELM). The main goal is to provide more accurate and reliable prediction of electricity price to facilitate energy market participants’ portfolio and risk management.

No Emissions Trading Scheme is an Island: Building a Global Linking Agreement from the "Bottom Up".

▼ The global climate change regime is at a crossroads. There remains little prospect states will agree to urgently needed binding commitments through a "top down" climate agreement, but the ability of national and sub-national policies to produce sufficient emission reductions in its place faces significant challenges. This paper proposes a possible alternative model for building a centralised climate regime from the "bottom up" through linking national and sub-national emissions trading schemes in stages under a global linking agreement. This model is argued as preferable to waiting for a global carbon price to develop from decentralised linkages, or for a "top down" linking agreement to emerge. The paper then considers how the legal design of such an agreement could best facilitate linking of different schemes, concluding that parties should agree to "low end" mutual recognition of allowances under an umbrella treaty structure, with less essential elements left to non-binding arrangements.

▼ The three essays in this dissertation focus on the economics of bioenergy and emissions trading. Chapter Two analyzes the economic impacts of cellulosic feedstock production in a major watershed of south-central Minnesota. A regional economic model of agricultural production in the watershed is constructed. By integrating environmental parameters from a biophysical simulation analysis of the watershed, the model focuses on economic and environmental issues associated with increasing use of two cellulosic feedstocks, corn stover and switchgrass, at the watershed level. Results indicate that corn stover can be produced at a relatively low marginal cost compared to switchgrass. Sediment and nutrient losses from corn stover production make switchgrass more promising on environmental grounds but the high marginal cost of production causes switchgrass to cover only small part of crop land if farmers have unrestricted choice about how to supply cellulosic feedstocks.
Chapter Three extends the model of chapter Two to examine the tradeoffs between cellulosic feedstock production and water quality by analyzing policy options targeted to address those tradeoffs. Policy alternatives considered include restrictions on total nitrate-N load in the watershed and production subsidies for switchgrass – an energy crop with potential environmental benefits. Restricting nitrate-N loads increases the cost of cellulosic feedstock supply and in some circumstances makes switchgrass production an economical alternative. Switchgrass production subsidies, if sufficiently high can increase feedstock supply while reducing or eliminating the negative effects of feedstock production on water quality.
Chapter Four examines how uncertainty in emissions affects firms’ decision of permit purchase and abatement. This paper extends previous models of emissions trading by considering uncertainty as well as the order of firms’ decisions about abatement and permit trading. When there is uncertainty about emissions, total expected emissions are the same regardless of the order of moves. The results show that whether firms abate more under uncertainty is dependent on the expected penalty cost and marginal abatement cost. If the expected marginal penalty cost is greater than the marginal abatement cost, the firm will choose to reduce emissions and abate more under uncertainty. When expected penalty is greater than marginal cost of abatement, increase in uncertainty makes expected emissions decrease given unit penalty fee.

▼ The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is a cap-and-trade program regulating the carbon emissions of specific industrial facilities and is the EU’s primary policy mechanism for complying with emissions reduction targets found in the Kyoto Protocol. This dissertation examines the overall effectiveness of the EU ETS and more specifically what factors explain why some member states are more successful at reducing their carbon emissions than others. OLS and logistic regression models are constructed as well as qualitative case studies of Sweden, Denmark, Portugal and Greece, to examine observed differences in emissions in all 27 EU member states from 2005-2010 The models include variables relating to the overall capacity of the state to reduce emissions as well as other institutional factors, including measures of corruption, public opinion, renewable energy production, domestic oil production, green party presence in the national government and European Parliament, cabinet ideology, length of EU membership, post-communism and how permits are allocated. The time period examined includes the entire trial phase as well as the first three years of the first commitment period of Kyoto. The factors that best explain success or failure to effectively reduce emissions in the EU may provide insight into how best to achieve future emissions reductions there as well as in other carbon emissions trading programs already implemented or being designed.

▼ This thesis provides an overview of attempts to mitigate climate change through
emissions trading systems (ETS) with a focus on China's recent announcement to implement a national ETS. The report begins with a description of climate change and the inherent difficulties of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions. Popular policy mechanisms that aim to reduce GHG
emissions with a goal of mitigating climate change are described, including the United Nations efforts to implement an international ETS through international climate negotiations. The second chapter reports on international, national and regional ETSs, with a focus on a multitude of critical ETS components. The third chapter outlines the theory of linking ETSs, design considerations, benefits, potential barriers and risks of linking. The fourth chapter focuses on air pollution in China and the state’s response to limit pollution through regional pilot ETSs that may transition into a Chinese national ETS based on the pilot programs' results. The conclusion of the thesis focuses on the potential repercussions of the future implementation of China's national ETS. The thesis concludes that China’s selection of an ETS over other policy mechanisms can enhance other nations' confidence in an ETS's ability to reduce
emissions without impeding economic growth. The Chinese system can influence future UNFCCC meetings and may facilitate global agreements. The lessons learned from China's ETS has the potential to encourage the development of existing and future ETSs. Asia could become the global center for
emissions trading if China considers linking systems with existing and future ETSs.

▼ The primary question explored by this thesis is what alternative, carbon tax or
emissions trading, would be an optimal policy for climate change mitigation in Australia. This thesis focuses on assessing carbon tax and
emissions trading policy options on the basis of multiple criteria related to climate change policy in the Australian context. The study analyses the issues of environmental degradation, policy responses to the climate change issue, carbon taxation and
emissions trading as a theoretical foundation for addressing the research question. The weaknesses of common evaluation methods and practices in dealing with climate change policy are also critiqued. After reviewing policy evaluation methods, the study builds a methodological framework to assess the climate change policy options based on the multi-criteria and Delphi methods. To facilitate the evaluation procedure, the criteria necessary for the climate change policy evaluation are identified. This study employs the Delphi method to verify the evaluation criteria in the Australian context and to assess the relative importance of these criteria. The thesis also attempts to construct carbon tax and
emissions trading policies for Australia using a combination of theoretical and practical considerations. Further, these two contrasting policies are qualitatively analysed with reference to the identified criteria to assess potential performance of the proposed carbon tax and
emissions trading. The resultant evaluation criteria and performance ranks of each proposed policy option allows building a decision matrix which facilitates the final evaluation and selection of an optimal policy.The evaluation results reveal that the carbon tax policy constructed by this study outperforms the designed
emissions trading in terms of many criteria. As a result, the carbon tax is identified as an optimal climate change mitigation policy for Australia. The results of this study also indicate that the
emissions trading proposed by the Australian Government might be a misleading policy founded on biased assumptions. Based on these findings it is recommended that Australia reconsider carbon tax and
emissions trading policies on the basis of well developed multiple criteria to obtain a justified and sustained policy solution.

▼ This thesis is a study of whether the Australian Clean Energy Package complies with the rules of the World Trade Organization. It examines the legal framework for the Australian carbon pricing mechanism and related arrangements, using World Trade Organization law as the framework for analysis. In doing so, this thesis deconstructs the Clean Energy Package by considering the legal properties of eligible emissions units, the assistance measures introduced by the Package and the liabilities created by the carbon pricing mechanism.
Subjects/Keywords: Border tax adjustments; Carbon pricing mechanism; Carbon tax; Clean Energy Package; Climate change; Eligible emissions units; Emissions credits; Emissions permits; Emissions trading; Emissions units

▼ Climate change mitigation necessitates substantial
alterations to patterns of worldwide economic activity, be that
reduction in demand, switches to new technology or 'end-of-pipe'
abatement of greenhouse gases. There are profound political,
economic and ethical questions surrounding the governance of the
means, rate and location of change. Within advanced capitalist
economies and internationally through the auspices of the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
emissions trading
systems have been introduced as part of the broader neoliberal
attempts to 'correct market failure' through the definition of new
property rights.This thesis investigates the development,
constitution and consequences of institutions for the production,
exchange and consumption of credits for
emissions reductions. Such
credits are financial instruments awarded to organisations for
putative reductions in
emissions from 'business as usual'. In
consumption, credits are equated with a quantity of
emissions
released elsewhere. The 'Instituted Economic Process' framework
(Randles and Harvey, 2002) is used to distinguish the various
classes of agent involved in these exchanges and identify the
economic and non-economic relationships that constitute these
institutions. Inspired by the economic anthropology of Karl
Polanyi, this approach asks how economic activity is organised and
stabilised within society without presuming that there are
universal economic laws of 'the market', that there are essential
properties of commodities and agents, or that all economic
transfers are conducted within markets.I argue that crediting is a
socially contingent process of commodification of atmospheric
pollution which is both ontologically and normatively problematic.
Extant institutions are shown to be precarious by appealing to
neutral techno-scientific justifications but remaining reliant on
subjective judgement. However, they are sufficiently consistent and
credible that they persist and expand. These findings are of
interest to the academic communities of political economy and
environmental and economic geography, climate change policy makers
and the environmental movement more broadly.
