This instrument gives emitters the flexibility to undertake reduction measures in the most cost-efficient way and mobilizes market forces for the protection of the earth’s climate. In this paper, we analyse the effects of emissions trading in Europe, especially the value of the flexibility gained by trading compared to fixed quotas. The analysis will be undertaken with a modified version of the GTAP-E model using the latest GTAP data base. It is based on the national allocation plans as submitted to and in most cases approved by the EU. 000331427 546__ $$aEnglish 000331427 650__ $$aEnvironmental Economics and Policy 000331427 650__ $$aInternational Relations/Trade 000331427 700__ $$aKemfert, Claudia 000331427 700__ $$aKohlhaas, Michael 000331427 700__ $$aTruong, Truong 000331427 700__ $$aProtsenko, Artem 000331427 773__ $$j2005 000331427 8564_ $$93c3e6a60-2c48-4d9a-aafd-298f3af753ed$$s292698$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/331427/files/2131.pdf 000331427 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:331427$$pGLOBAL_SET 000331427 913__ $$aBy depositing this Content ('Content') in AgEcon Search, I agree that I am solely responsible for any consequences of uploading this Content to AgEcon Search and making it publicly available, and I represent and warrant that: I am either the sole creator and the owner of the copyrights and all other rights in the Content; or, without obtaining another’s permission, I have the right to deposit the Content in an archive such as AgEcon Search.
