Carbon intensive big companies, 40% of EU emissions Cap and trade ,8% free allocation % free allocation Cap -6,5% compared to 2005 emissions % free allocation and declining Cap in % compared to 2005 emissions

Policy evaluation by nature normative 4 main criteria (IPCC 2007), Environmental effectiveness Cost-effectiveness and cost-efficiency Distributional effects Institutional feasibility Other authors use same criteria (among others) (Baldwin 2008, Harrington et al. 2004, Konidari & Mavrakis 2007, Mickwitz 2003, Mundaca & Neij 2009, Goers et al. 2010) Criteria also justified by debates in public arena Literature review to increase external validity

Abatement (decline in emission) Over-allocation Predictability of environmental impact Environmental side-effects : carbon leakage

Cost efficiency Marginal social cost of carbon> marginal abatement cost Cost effectiveness Equal marginal abatement cost across firms Distortional incentives of free allocation Updating New entrants reserves Closure withdrawals Transaction costs Dynamic cost-efficiency: innovation Effect of carbon price volatility on low carbon investments Too much on intermediate technologies, too little on high-end abatement technologies

Transfers between countries and sectors Social distributional effects Windfall profits
