   Sammanfattning : Essay I: In January, 2005, the EU launched the first international emissions trading system (EU ETS), aimed at reducing carbon emissions in a cost-effective way by means of a market-based instrument. In this paper, we use the treatment/control, before/after design of the natural experiment approach to investigate the treatment effect of the EU ETS on the profitability of a sample of Swedish energy firms in 2005 and 2006.

   Sammanfattning : The last decade has seen heightened interest in carbon pricing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions responsible for anthropogenic climate change. Over the past decade, China–responsible for over a quarter of global carbon emissions–has aimed to reduce its emissions through an ambitious Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) which charges certain firms for the greenhouse gases they emit.

   Sammanfattning : China has been experiencing great economic development and fast urbanisation since its reforms and opening-up policy in 1978. However, these changes are reliant on consumption of primary energy, especially coal, characterised by high pollution and low efficiency. LÄS MER

   Författare :Tobias A Persson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The objective of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is to stabilize greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at a level that prevents dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. It is still politically and scientifically uncertain at which level greenhouse gases must be stabilized to achieve this objective. LÄS MER
