Price limits in a tradable performance standard

文章简介:

Tradable performance standards are widely used regulatory policies.  Examples include the US lead phasedown, fuel economy standards for automobiles, renewable portfolio standards, low carbon fuel standards, and—most recently—China’s new national carbon market.  At the same time, theory and experience with traditional cap-and-trade programs suggests an important role for price limits in the form of floors, ceilings, and reserves.  In this paper we develop a simple analytical model to show that the welfare comparison between tradable performance standards and a price-based alternative is a variant of the traditional Weitzman prices-versus-quantities result.  We then discuss practical issues regarding how a hybrid mechanism—price limits in a tradable performance standard—could be put into place.
