"What has Kyoto Wrought? The Real Architecture of International Tradeable Permits"
By Robert N. Stavins, Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government; Member of the Board; Director, Harvard Project on Climate Agreements and Robert W. Hahn
The authors investigate a central issue in the climate change debate associated with the Kyoto Protocol: the likely performance of international greenhouse gas trading mechanisms. Virtually all design studies and many projections of the costs of meeting the Kyoto targets have assumed that an international trading program can be established that minimizes the costs of meeting overall goals. This conclusion rests on several simplifying assumptions. The authors focus on one important issue that has received little, if any, attention: the interation between an international trading regime and a heterogeneous set of domestic greenhouse policy instruments. This is an important issue because the Protocol explicitly provides for domestic sovereignty reagrding instrument choice, and because it is unlikely that most countries will choose tradeable permits as their primary domestic vehicle.
