“…While there is a wide body of literature that deals with CO 2 abatement in the airline industry through market-based measures (e.g., Hofer et al, 2010;Malina et al, 2012, Winchester et al, 2013b, only a small amount of archival studies, as discussed below, have been published that quantify the environmental and economic impact of large-scale aviation biofuel adoption. Moreover, none of the existing papers on aviation biofuels examine the impact of advanced biofuels on aviation emissions and economic activity.…”

The MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change combines cutting-edge scientific research with independent policy analysis to provide a solid foundation for the public and private decisions needed to mitigate and adapt to unavoidable global environmental changes. Being data-driven, the Program uses extensive Earth system and economic data and models to produce quantitative analysis and predictions of the risks of climate change and the challenges of limiting human influence on the environment-essential knowledge for the international dialogue toward a global response to climate change.To this end, the Program brings together an interdisciplinary group from two established MIT research centers: the Center for Global Change Science (CGCS) and the Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research (CEEPR). These two centers-along with collaborators from the Marine Biology Laboratory (MBL) at Woods Hole and short-and longterm visitors-provide the united vision needed to solve global challenges.At the heart of much of the Program's work lies MIT's Integrated Global System Model. Through this integrated model, the Program seeks to: discover new interactions among natural and human climate system components; objectively assess uncertainty in economic and climate projections; critically and quantitatively analyze environmental management and policy proposals; understand complex connections among the many forces that will shape our future; and improve methods to model, monitor and verify greenhouse gas emissions and climatic impacts.This reprint is one of a series intended to communicate research results and improve public understanding of global environment and energy challenges, thereby contributing to informed debate about climate change and the economic and social implications of policy alternatives.

“…Here the research question investigated, the model used, specific assumptions on the costpass-through rate and the allowance prices differ. While Derigs and Illing (2013) focus on the impact of the EU ETS on cargo airlines under 5 different scenarios for the EU ETS in the year 2020, Malina et al (2012) investigate the cost and CO 2 impact of the EU ETS on the US aviation industry in the timeframe 2012À2020. Scheelhaase et al (2012) analyze the cost and environmental impact of the EU ETS on all airlines under the trading Because of these methodological and other differences, the results of these recent studies are not entirely comparable, too.…”

International and National Political Regulations of Aviation’s Climate Impact and Cost Impacts on Air Freight

This chapter provides an overview of the current political regulations on aviation's climate relevant emissions in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand and of the planned regulations in other parts of the world. In a next step, the cost impacts of most of these regulations on air freight will be quantified. This way, the economic impacts of environmental regulations on air freight can be estimated.The main results indicate that cost impacts on air freight services induced by political measures for the reduction of aviation's climate relevant emissions turn out to be small. This is true for both local emission charges on nitrous oxide (NO X ) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions which are in force at a number of European airports and the European emissions trading scheme for the limitation of CO 2 emissions.

“…The economic literature has thoroughly investigated the effects of the EU-ETS on economic performance and competitiveness, and innovation (see Ellerman et al (2015); Martin et al (2015)). Focusing on the aviation sector, some authors have found that the EU-ETS generates a reduction of profit margins (Malina et al, 2012;Girardet and Spinler, 2013), a loss of market shares, or a reduction of companies' growth rates (Faber and Brinke, 2011;Anger and Köhler, 2010), and a change in barriers to entry (Barbot et al, 2014). These effects may be even more important when airlines cannot off-set environmental costs by passing through additional costs onto air fares or by using profits gained on extra-European routes 2 .…”

The impact of the EU-ETS on the aviation sector: Competitive effects of abatement efforts by airlines

In the next few years, it is estimated that the aviation sector will account for more than 15% of total GHG emissions against the current 5%. In order to curb emissions, Directive 101/2008/EC has included the aviation sector within the scope of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS). The EU-ETS is generating additional costs for airline companies. The present article develops an original model with which to analyse the impact of EU-ETS on the aviation sector's market equilibrium. Our study expands prior research by explicitly allowing for abatement efforts in the cost function of airline companies and by highlighting interactions among strategies to reduce emissions, firm's actions in the secondary market, free allowances, and fines. The results contribute to enhancing policy makers understanding of the impact of the EU-ETS on the aviation sector also in light of its potential global-level extension that is currently under negotiation.
