Kyoto Protocol Carbon Prices

We find that, in the post-KPR period, firms with highcarbonemissions experience a substantial increase in the costs of debt and equity relative to those firms with a lowercarbonfootprint. Moreover, after the KPR,carbonemitters are less likely ...

Impact on GlobalCarbonMarkets andPricesTheKyotoProtocol'sETS had a significant impact on the development of globalcarbonmarkets. The creation of a market for emissions credits introduced a new asset class and provided a financial incentive for reducing emissions.

This particular example perfectly highlights why Kyoto Protocol Carbon Prices is so captivating.

The idea of GlobalCarbonMarkets (GCM) was first introduced under the KP as one of the so-called flexibility mechanisms, i.e., the joint implementation schemes and clean development mechanism. These are mechanisms ...
