Harrison, D. and D. Radov, 2002: Evaluation of alternative
initial allocation mechanisms in a European Union greenhouse gas
emissions allowance trading scheme.
This article examines whether a greenhouse gas
emissions trading scheme has the potential to bring parties into conflict with the WTO provisions in dealing with the
initial allocation of permits, non-compliance with
emissions targets,
emissions trading system enlargement, and trade measures against non-members of an
emissions trading club, and relates the discussion to joint implementation with developing countries.
