| Tiivistelmä: | This is a study of existing pollution markets and equilibrium path that results from allocating an initial stock of storable permits to an agent, in a position to exercise market power. A large seller of permits exercises market power no differently than a large supplier of an exhaustible resource. However, whenever the large agent's endowment falls short of his efficient endowment - allocation profile that would exactly cover his emissions along the perfectly competitive path - market power is greatly mitigated by a commitment problem, much like in a durable-goods monopoly. The theory of the writers is illustrated with two applications: the US sulphur market and the international carbon market that may eventually develop beyond the Kyoto Protocol. |
