Catalysts for price discovery in the European Union Emissions Trading System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide the first evidence on catalysts for price discovery in the European Union Emissions Trading System. Specifically, by employing high frequency data across a wide range of fungible securities, we find that trading costs are a more important determinant of price discovery than either the implicit provision of leverage in securities such as futures and options or the existence of market segmentation. Moreover, securities with low trading costs display greater price discovery than those with high trading costs. 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملThe EU Emissions Trading Scheme and the Challenges for Large Scale Auctioning
Arguably, the climate talks in Copenhagen in December 2010 did not deliver on the high expectations the world had raised for a post-Kyoto agreement. But the commitment to confront climate change at the highest level is beyond doubt. At the time of writing, the EU Commission is to propose a draft regulation on large scale auctioning in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) startin...
متن کاملPrice relationships in the EU emissions trading system
The Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) constrains industrial polluters to buy/sell CO2 allowances depending on a regional depolluting objective of -8% of CO2 emissions by 2012 compared to 1990 levels. Companies may also buy carbon offsets from developing countries, funding emissions cuts there instead, under a Kyoto Protocol Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). This article critically analyzes the pr...
متن کاملPrice Discovery and Liquidity in the European CO2 Futures Market: An Intraday Analysis
European Union CO2 allowances (EUAs) are traded on several markets with increasing intensity. We provide an intraday data analysis of the EUA futures market for the complete first trading period 2005-2007 (Phase 1). To investigate the trading process in this young market, we compare the two main trading platforms, ECX and Nord Pool, with respect to price discovery and liquidity. Both are of hig...
متن کاملA New N-factor Affine Term Structure Model of Futures Price for CO2 Emissions Allowances: Empirical Evidence from the EU ETS
In recent years, carbon emission markets have become liquid and promising markets within the European Union emissions trading scheme (EU ETS). In order to fit and forecast futures price for CO2 emissions allowances, we propose a new N-factor affine term structure model for CO2 futures price and estimate parameters in the new affine model by using the Kalman filter technique. Our empirical resul...
