What the paper says

Abstract: The paper examines a politically sensitive issue in design of emission allowance trading systems – how to allocate initially the allowances. In most systems, whether they cover greenhouse gases (GHG) or other pollutants, initial allowance allocations have been largely free and based on past emissions. An alternative is to allocate allowances by auctioning. Political economy considerations point to greater future use of auctioning. This paper sets out reasons for this conclusion, while arguing for a phased transition towards greater auctioning.
