Impacts of Alternative Emissions Allowance Allocation Methods under a Federal Cap-and-Trade Program

Lawrence H. Goulder, Marc A. C. Hafstead, Michael S. Dworsky

This paper examines the implications of alternative allowance allocation designs under a federal cap-and-trade program to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. We focus on the impacts on industry profits and overall economic output, employing a dynamic general equilibrium model of the U.S. economy. The model's unique treatment of capital dynamics permits close attention to profit impacts
