Description
Emissions trading challenges the management of companies in an entirely new manner. Most importantly it shifts the mode of governance of environmental policy from hierarchy to market. The contributions in this book discuss the theoretical implications of different institutional designs of emissions trading schemes. They review schemes implemented in the US and Europe, and evaluate the range of investment decisions and corporate strategies resulting from the new policy framework.
Reviews / Votes
From the reviews: "This book ... reflects the experience with the first phase of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). ... This book shows that trading's capacity to encourage meaningful changes will depend on both government design of the trading programs and the institutional capacities and cultures of the firms it regulates. This emphasis on institutional factors can greatly enrich our understanding of trading and one can ... see more work pursuing institutional themes." (David M. Driesen, Carbon and Climate Law Review, Issue 2, 2009)More details
