Output-Based Allocations of Emissions Permits: Efficiency and Distributional Effects in a General Equilibrium Setting with Taxes and Trade
The choice of mechanism for allocating tradable emissions permits has important efficiency and distributional effects when tax and trade distortions are considered.
