  • public acceptability of personal Carbon Trading and Carbon tax
    Ecological Economics, 2010
    Co-Authors: Abigail L. Bristow, Mark Wardman, Alberto M. Zanni, Phani V K Chintakayala
    Abstract:

    Climate change is one of the greatest challenges confronting the international community requiring action to achieve deep cuts in Carbon emissions. The implementation of potentially uncomfortable but necessary policy measures is, though, critically dependent upon public acceptability. This paper reports a novel application of stated preference techniques to explore the influence of key design attributes on the acceptability of a personal Carbon Trading scheme in isolation and when compared to a Carbon tax. Illustrative forecasts from the models developed indicate the importance of design attributes, especially the basis of the initial permit allocation for personal Carbon Trading and the use to which revenues are put for Carbon tax. Results indicate that the "best" scheme designs could be acceptable to a majority of respondents.

  • allowance price and distributional effects under a personal Carbon Trading scheme
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2015
    Co-Authors: Jun Li, Dingtao Zhao, Shanyong Wang
    Abstract:

    Abstract Personal Carbon Trading (PCT) is a downstream cap-and-trade scheme to reduce Carbon emissions from the household sector. In comparison to an upstream Carbon Trading scheme, PCT is a progressive scheme in which the poorer consumers are mostly ‘winners’, as their levels of emissions are generally lower. This paper investigates the equilibrium price for allowances and distributional effects under a PCT scheme. First, we propose an equilibrium model for PCT from which we derive an equilibrium price for allowances. Second, a consumer surplus analysis is conducted to examine the welfare changes caused by the PCT scheme. Generally, we find that the PCT scheme is progressive and can provide a buffer between the energy and allowance price. Based on these results, the implications are discussed and suggestions for a future study are provided.

  • The impact of Carbon Trading on regulated agents in China
    Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change, 2014
    Co-Authors: Yu Zhou, Jin Fan, Dingtao Zhao, Shanyong Wang
    Abstract:

    Abstract Facing requirements of sustainable development and tremendous international pressures, China has initiated a serious of trials for mandatory Carbon Trading schemes. In this study, to investigate the impact of Carbon Trading on commodity prices, emissions, outputs and profits of the regulated agents such as power plants in China, a partial equilibrium model is constructed based on the Cournot theory of oligopoly. Three key results were found. First, following the implementation of a Carbon Trading scheme there is a shift of production from plants with high emission rates to those with low rates. Second, the emission-based updating (EBU) allocation of allowable emissions would provide a buffer in which the reduced outputs and profits of plants with high emissions are alleviated. Third, if the electricity price is market oriented it will vary with the Carbon price. Based on these results, we conclude that the Carbon constraint will result in cleaner generating technologies and be helpful in promoting the development of low Carbon technologies in China. In addition, the EBU allocation is more feasible at the beginning of the national Carbon Trading in China. Given that electricity prices in China are regulated now, we argue that mandatory Carbon Trading should be implemented at the beginning of coordinated reforms of market-oriented pricing in electricity.

  • Residents’ Willingness and Influencing Factors on Action Personal Carbon Trading: A Case Study of Metropolitan Areas in Tianjin, China
    Sustainability, 2019
    Co-Authors: Yong Liu
    Abstract:

    Personal Carbon Trading offers a powerful and innovative instrument with which to achieve reductions in Carbon emissions. Meanwhile, residents’ personal Carbon Trading willingness and the factors influencing such willingness have critical effects on the acceptance of personal Carbon Trading. Therefore, the present research uses a questionnaire survey in metropolitan areas of Tianjin China and the results indicated that most of the interviewees (74.92%) agreed or strongly agreed that they would participant in personal Carbon Trading. Moreover, according to the results of multiple regression models, governmental policies and residents’ environmental awareness and motivations were positively related to their personal Carbon Trading willingness. However, personal barriers to personal Carbon Trading were negatively related to personal Carbon Trading willingness. Control variables, such as gender and incomes, were not significantly related to personal Carbon Trading willingness. Thus, monitoring residents’ emission and Trading patterns, emphasizing effective, transparent, and fair policies, as well as mitigating uncertainty could all be effective ways to increase the acceptance of personal Carbon Trading.
