Description

According to economic theory auctioning of emission allowances is not more efficient than free allocation. Free allocation of emission allowances in Europe involves product subsidy, thus removing the incentive for emission reduction. [mk]

Abstract (Dutch)

Volgens de economische theorie is het veilen van emissierechten niet efficienter dan de gratis uitgifte ervan. Gratis uitgifte van emissierechten komt in de Europese praktijk neer op een productiesubsidie waardoor de prikkel tot emissiereductie vervalt
