Marginal Abatement Cost for the Evaluation of the Market Stability Reserve

Marginal Abatement Cost for the Evaluation of the Market Stability Reserve

The European Commission was discussing the introduction of a market stability reserve (MSR) for stabilizing market prices within the EU emission trading system (EU ETS). To assess the likely effect of such an MSR, a model comparison analysis coordinated by DIW Berlin was undertaken to study the interaction of different behaviour of investors and technological cost of reducting emissions. For assessing the cost of emission reductions within this model comparison, ZEW provided marginal abatement cost curves based on the PACE model.
