Abstract:The MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change is an organization for research, independent policy analysis, and public education in global environmental change. It seeks to provide leadership in understanding scientific, economic, and ecological aspects of this difficult issue, and combining them into policy assessments that serve the needs of ongoing national and international discussions. To this end, the Program brings together an interdisciplinary group from two established research cent… Show more
“…Several experiments (Smith 1981;Carlén 1999;Cason et al 2003) confirm this statement. The DA is able to suppress market power and to generate the competitive equilibrium.…”

“…The quantity traded in these markets is very low (in most cases eight permits). In contrast to this, Carlén (1999) has used a multiple-unit DA in a market with a large quantity traded. Information to subjects There are several approaches regarding the information about the market structure subjects received.…”

“…subjects can either sell or buy permits according to their initial endowment. Later experiments (Carlén 1999;Muller et al 2002; Sturm forthcoming) have generally implemented speculation as a central property of real markets. Multiple-unit property Most experiments use a single-unit version of the DA, i.e., only one permit can be simultaneously bought or sold.…”

“…They analyzed the impact of this competition on the pricing of emissions permits and on the effectiveness of the Kyoto and post-Kyoto agreements, without US participation. Carlén investigate market power in intergovernmental CET based on a simulation [10]. They find that (i) the presence of a large trader is not likely to create inefficiencies, and (ii) a large trader is not likely to be able to substantially influence prices to its advantage during end-period trading.…”
“…The ability to exert market power depends on the structure of the market, no proposals for which have yet been made. However, a continuous double auction may be the most appropriate choice in situations like this (Carlen 2003). Table 4 shows the total costs of emission reduction, here presented as a percent of GDP in 2020.…”
