An ex-ante performance evaluation of the Chinese Emissions Trading Scheme
thesis
posted on 2021-04-06, 08:17 authored by MEI ZI TANThis thesis evaluates the potential effectiveness of the Chinese Emissions Trading Scheme (CETS) in contributing to climate mitigation. The key criteria for a successful ETS is a strong political will from a government to impose a high carbon price on greenhouse gas emissions. Given that the current priority of the Chinese government is to protect the cost-competitiveness of Chinese enterprises, the government has not designed the CETS in accordance with carbon-pricing principles recommended by the OECD and the World Bank. As such, the thesis argues that the CETS is expected to have a limited impact on contributing to climate mitigation.
