Abstract The European Directive on the EU ETS allows governments to auction up 10% of allowances issued in phase II 2008–2012, without constraints being specified thereafter. This article reviews and extends long-standing debate about auctioning, which economists have generally supported industries opposed a greater use auctioning. clarifies key issues by reviewing six 'traditional' considerations, examines several credible options for design, then proposes some new relevant It is concluded...
Abstract We quantified the volume of free allowances that different national allocation plans proposed to allocate existing and new installations, with specific reference power sector. Most countries continue based on historic emissions, contrary hopes for improved methods, allocations installations frequently 2005 emission data; this may strengthen belief in private sector emissions coming years will influence their subsequent allowance allocation. Allocations provide high...

In theory, by establishing a price for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, an Emissions Trading System (ETS) promises to encourage shift away from carbon-intensive electricity supply. It is generally assumed that this decarbonization effect requires the liberalization of markets. However, amongst more than 40 jurisdictions throughout world are now implementing, planning or considering ETS decarbonize supply, few have adopted market textbook model. Economic agents constrained in how they can...

Der auf Druck der Europäischen Union (EU) zustande gekommene Liberalisierungsprozess des Strom- und Gassektors jedoch gravierenden Problemen verbunden. Handlungsbedarf für europäische Energie- Umweltpolitik erheblich.
