Emissions trading with shares and coupons when control over discharges is uncertain
Article Abstract:
Emissions trading plans in a double action laboratory environment exhibit positive results under a wide range of institutional choices provided that agents have adequate experience, information, and qualified decision support. Results indicate that share introduction improves market performance while reducing trading volume possibly due to the reduction in price signal noise and intramarginal trades. As a result, efficiency and price characteristics of emissions trading plans are improved.
