Unilateral Emission Pricing and OPEC's Behaviour

Unilateral climate policies involve the risk of carbon leakage, driven by price changes in the oil market and other international markets. We have shown in previous analysis that OPEC may have an incentive to increase the oil price as a response to EU climate policy, thereby retaining resource rents and turning leakage through the oil market negative. In this paper, we examine the implications of...

An Economic Assessment of Soil Carbon Sequestration with Biochar in Germany

Biochar is a carbon-rich solid obtained from the heating of biomass in the (near) absence of oxygen in a process called pyrolysis. Its soil incorporation is increasingly discussed as a means to sequester carbon in soils and, thus, to help mitigate climate change. When deployed in agricultural soils in Germany, it has been found by Teichmann (2014a, b) that slow-pyrolysis biochar from a wide...

Free Allocation and the Endowment Effect in Cap-and-Trade Systems: Evidence from the European Electricity Sector

Independence of installation-level emissions from allocations constitutes a necessary condition for the cost-effectiveness of a cap-and-trade system. An endowment effect, i.e. a causal relationship between allocations and emissions, indicates a loss of cost effectiveness due to free allocation. The issue is relevant to the EU ETS, where a large share of the total allocation occurs for free. This...
