The EU member states have committed to achieving climate neutrality, i.e. netzero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, by mid-century. The two emissions trading systems (ETSs) in the EU—ETS1 and ETS2—are the lead…
The global public good nature of climate change mitigation and the resulting free-rider problem require a restructuring of the incentives for countries to price fossil energy consumption. Existing empirical…
