Abstract

Equilibrium models have been widely used in the literature with the aim of showing theoretical properties of emissions trading schemes. This paper applies equilibrium models to empirically study permit prices and to quantify the permit price sensitivity. In particular, we demonstrate that emission trading schemes both with and without banking are inherently prone to price jumps.

1
An overview of the exact numerical computation methods for an integral over a geometric Brownian motion can be found in the book of Jeanblanc et al. (2009) in Sect. 6.6.
 
2
The corresponding European-style call option pays off the maximum of zero and the difference between the asset price at maturity and the strike price, i.e. max(S T K,0). Asian-style options are popular because they are cheaper compared to European-style options as the averaging reduces the volatility.
 
3
For a more detailed explanation see Chap. 3 in Grüll (2010).
 
4
The trajectory of x t is based on (3), (4) and (7).
 
5
The permit price trajectories are obtained by plugging the trajectory of x t (see Fig. 1) into the permit price formulae of Lemma 1.
 
6
Lower and upper bounds are obtained by considering the permit prices of \(\mathbb {E}(q_{[0,t]} ) \pm c \sqrt{Var (q_{[0,t]} )}\) which is the confidence band for outstanding emissions.
 
7
In phase I of the EU ETS the banking of permits was not allowed, i.e. permits that were not used in phase I (2005–2007) could not be handed in for compliance purposes in phase II (2008–2012). From phase II on the banking of permits is allowed.
 
8
The derivation of this result is to be found in the Appendix.
 
9
The volatility of the outstanding emissions of all regulated companies in the EU ETS is assumed to be smaller than 5 percent. This is motivated by the verified emissions data of the years 2005–2010. The annual percentage change remained in the confidence band [−10 %,+10 %] that is implied by our assumption.
