How does China's carbon emissions trading (CET) policy affect the investment of CET-covered enterprises?

Yue-Jun Zhang et al.

Summary: The study empirically evaluates the impact of China's CET policy on investment expenditure of CET-covered enterprises in seven pilot regions. Results show a general reduction in investment expenditure due to the CET policy, with significant industrial and regional heterogeneity, and a strengthening trend over time.

Improving liquidity in emission trading schemes

Jihun Kim et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that when an Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) market is dominated by a few traders, they may reduce market liquidity and maximize profits by widening bid-ask spreads. However, adding more market participants could help alleviate this liquidity issue. Policy changes in the EU's ETS significantly improved market liquidity by attracting more participants.

Could carbon emission control firms achieve an effective financing in the carbon market? A case study of China's emission trading scheme

Yin Li et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a new prediction method incorporating a set of measuring models applicable to the financing efficiency of China's carbon market to quantify such market's maturity, trading risk coefficient, and financing income. The empirical findings suggest that China's emissions trading scheme pilots can be divided into growth-oriented, balance-oriented, and risk-oriented markets, with different financing effects explained by the maturity level and quota price volatility of the carbon market. Expanding the coverage of quota trading parties, stabilizing carbon price, and promoting carbon asset management are key factors in improving the financing efficiency of carbon market.

Evaluating the impact of carbon emissions trading scheme on Chinese firms' total factor productivity

Jin Xiao et al.

Summary: The study found that under the pilot carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS) in China, the total factor productivity (TFP) of firms has improved, and this improvement is not influenced by firm ownership but mainly by industrial heterogeneity. The ETS has achieved an increase in TFP by promoting firms' operating and profitability capacity.

Planetary good governance after the Paris Agreement: The case for a global greenhouse gas tax

Jamie Morgan et al.

Summary: This paper argues for the greater use of carbon taxes and a global approach in response to the increasing urgency of carbon emissions reductions. Carbon taxes can facilitate social redesign, while emissions trading is seen as ineffective and distracting.

Does weather, or energy prices, affect carbon prices?

Jonathan A. Batten et al.

Summary: This study found that energy prices impact carbon prices, but only explain 12% of the variation. Weather variables have little effect on carbon prices, except for unexpected temperature changes. This implies that unexpected temperature changes, rather than the overall level of temperature, impact carbon prices, suggesting that climate change may lead to increased carbon price volatility and higher hedging costs.

Disentangling economic crisis effects from environmental regulation effects: Implications for sustainable development

Simone Lazzini et al.

Summary: With climate change worsening, policymakers should enforce environmental regulations to encourage firms to adopt sustainable corporate models. The study shows that the EU Emission Trading Scheme can activate the Porter hypothesis and promote the implementation of sustainable corporate models by firms. However, the economic crisis can neutralize the effects of environmental regulations on firm performance, preventing the triggering of the Porter hypothesis in severely affected firms.

Rent Seeking over Tradable Emission Permits

Ashwin Rode

Summary: Analyzing the impact of rent-seeking behavior on firm permit allocation using the UK's CO2 Emissions Trading Scheme, it was found that financial connections to members of the House of Commons strongly predict post-appeal allocation. Even after controlling for various factors, such connections were associated with a significant increase in actual permit allocation. The estimated welfare loss from rent-seeking was over 100 million euros, a substantial amount compared to firms' abatement costs.

Influence of a pilot carbon trading policy on enterprises' low-carbon innovation in China

Shao-Zhou Qi et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of China's pilot carbon trading policy on low-carbon innovation, finding that the policy is expected to promote low-carbon innovation by alleviating financing obstacles. Additionally, the study suggests that the benchmarking method is more effective in encouraging low-carbon innovation compared to other allocation methods.

Corporate Environmental Proactivity: Evidence from the European Union's Emissions Trading System

Panayiotis C. Andreou et al.

Summary: The study found that government-controlled firms, companies in common law countries, and state-owned firms are less likely to be proactive in responding to environmental policies compared to private firms and firms in civil law countries. Proactiveness is associated with greater reductions in greenhouse gas emissions but also with poorer firm performance, indicating an economic cost to good environmental behavior. The European Union's Emissions Trading System is reducing emissions, but better system design is needed to adequately compensate proactive firms or penalize polluting ones.
