Economics Letters, 2008, vol. 99, issue 3, pages 465-469

Abstract: We test the hypothesis that rising prices of emission allowances have a stronger impact on wholesale electricity prices than falling prices (asymmetric cost pass-through). Using an autoregressive distributed lag model, we confirm this hypothesis for the German market.
