摘要:In this paper we give an example in which the price of tradeable emission permits
increases despite firms' adoption of a less polluting technology. This is in contrast with
Montero (2002) and Parry (1998), among others. If two Counot players switch to a
cleaner technology, the price for permits may increase due to an increase in the net
demand for permits and a decrease in net supply of permits after the clean technology is
adopted. This is only the case when output demand is elastic.
