摘要
This paper analyzes the effects of allocating CO2 permits to new power plants free of charge within a tradable permit system. We demonstrate that these free allocations distort investments. Furthermore, we distinguish the effects of a uniform benchmark from a fuel specific benchmark, as both are common elements in EU member states' national allocation plans. An empirical model for the European market is used to quantify the effects in a realistic framework.
