EU ETS and the new green paradox

Knut Einar Rosendahl

No 2-2019, Working Paper Series from Norwegian University of Life Sciences, School of Economics and Business

Abstract: With the new rules of the EU ETS, involving cancellation of allowances, cumulative emissions are no longer fixed but depending on the market outcome. Perino (2018) showed that additional abatement effort can reduce cumulative emissions if it occurs within a few years. This article shows that Perino’s result will be reversed, i.e., cumulative emissions increase, if the abatement effort is at a later year, or permanent. Thus, a new green paradox has emerged.
