Abstract: Abstract The authors identify three types of impact from the European Emission Trading Scheme on the affected companies: direct impact, indirect impact, and uncertainty. While direct impact refers to the cost of buying allowances, indirect impact refers to the increased input factor cost as suppliers price in their emission cost. Uncertainty refers to the limited planning reliability as many details of the regulation are still under negotiation or only last for a few years. Based on a Europe-wide survey, the authors empirically show the relevance and industry dependence of these types of impact to a company’s strategic decisions.
