This study compares and analyzes domestic and international carbon prices through CPS, which represents the level of carbon pricing. The results show that countries implementing carbon taxes had lower carbon intensity compared to those that did not. The introduction of a carbon tax is expected to enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. As the carbon price rises to the level required for carbon neutrality, CPS decreases significantly, particularly in the residential and commercial sectors. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a carbon tax in the country to reach the required carbon price level for carbon neutrality, with a priority on introducing it in the residential and commercial sectors.

Cap and Trade 제도 하에서 발전사업자는 탄소배출권 가격의 불확실성이라는 새로운 위험에 노출이 된다. 따라서 발전사업자가 전일 셀프스케쥴링을 실시함에 있어 전력 가격의 불확실성 뿐 아니라 탄소배출권 가격의 불확실성 또한 고려할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 전력 가격과 탄소 배출권 가격의 불확실성을 모두 고려한 발전사업자의 전일 셀프스케쥴링 문제를 고려하였다. 탄소배출권 시장의 거래상당 부분이 발전사업자에 의해 이루어지므로 전력 가격과 탄소 배출권 가격의 상관관계를 고려하여 셀프스케쥴링 문제를 정식화 하였다. 셀프스케쥴링의 결과로 나온 발전사업자의 기대수익과 기대수익의 변동성은 발전사업자의 위험회피정도에 따라 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 탄소세 부과가 우리 나라의 에너지 및 국민 경제에 미치는 충격의 영향분석을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 에너지-경제 연계 계량경제모형을 수립하였는데 본 모형은 기존의 거시경제모형을 수정한 후 에너지 모형과의 연계를 통해 에너지 부문의 충격이 경제부문에 미치는 효과를 정량적으로 파악이 가능하도록 하였다. 본 연구에서는 탄소배출량에 대한 규제가 탄소세 부과를 도입하도록 유도하고 에너지가격의 상승과 에너지수요를 감소시킴으로써 경제부문의 생산을 위축시키는 흐름도를 가정하고 있다. 분석의 과정에서 탄소세 부과가 에너지 및 국민경제 부문에 미치는 효과의 측정은 에너지가격 및 수요변화, 국내총생산액의 변화 등을 통하여 수행되었다. 분석 결과를 요약하면 탄소 배출량의 안정화를 도모하기 위해서는 탄소세가 상당히 높게 부과되어야 하며 전력가격 및 에너지가격의 상승에 미치는 효과와 국내총생산액 등 주요 경제 변수에 미치는 충격이 매우 심각한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 개발된 계량경제모형을 통하여 여러 가지 정책수단에 대한 시뮬레이션이 가능하게 됨으로써 정책의 효과분석 및 동 분야의 향후 연구에도 많은 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문은 전통적인 산업연관분석이 고정투입계수를 시용하고 있어서 상대가격체계의 변화에 따른 경제 주체들의 비용최소화 노력을 모형 내에 반영하지 못하고 있다는 한계를 극복하기 위하여 상대가격체계의 변화에 따라 가변투입계수를 갖는 "반복다중최적화(IMO) 모형"을 이용하여 탄소세 부과가 가격구조에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과는 고정투입계수모형에 비하여 가격인상효과는 전반적으로 낮게 나타났으며, 특히 에너지집약산업은 고정투입계수모형에 비하여 가격상승률이 낮게 나타난 반면, 기타산업은 가격상승폭이 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 에너지원에 대한 탄소세의 부과효과가 상대가격변화에 적응한 경제주체들의 비용최소화 노력으로 각 산업으로 분산된 결과라 여겨진다.

이산화탄소의 대기 중 배출규제에 대한 논의가 지구적으로 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄소세의 도입이 우리나라의 전력부문에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 전력수요와 공급을 연계하는 계량경제학적 "시뮬레이션"모형을 수립하였다. 모형의 운용 결과, 탄소세의 부과는 특히 전력가격 상승에 큰 효과를 주고 있는 반면 전력수요의 변화에는 비교적 적은 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 외생적 시나리오 설정에 의하여 탄소세 부과시 연료원 간의 대체효과를 분석하였는데 원자력이 화석연료를 대체하는 시나리오는 전력가격의 안정화에 약간의 도움을 주고 있으나 LNG가 유연탄 화력을 대체하는 시나리오는 전력가격의 변화에 거의 영향을 주지 않고 있다. 이러한 분석 결과는 발전 연료간의 대체를 고려한다고 하더라고 탄소세 충격의 완화에 미치는 효과는 미미하다는 것을 의미한다.

This study uses a vector error correction model to analyze the daily time series data of the spot price of EUA (European Union Allowance). As endogenous variables, five variables are considered for the analysis, including prices of crude oil, natural gas, electricity and coal in addition to carbon price. Data period is Phase 2 period (April 21, 2008 to March 31, 2010) to avoid Phase 1 period (2005-2007) where the EUA prices were distorted. Unit-root and cointegration test results reveal that all variables have a unit root and cointegration vectors exist, so a vector error correction model is adopted instead of a vector autoregressive model.

In response to climate change, Korea is attempting to shift the paradigm of energy and climate change policies by introducing carbon pricing based on market mechanisms. While policy adoption is proceeding at a rapid pace, the introduction of carbon pricing has been faced with great opposition from industry. This study measures to what extent Korean companies understand and accept carbon pricing, using data from a questionnaire survey covering energy consuming companies in 2012, when discussions between the government and such companies about the introduction of a domestic emission trading system were active. It further identifies how preparations and practices for carbon and energy management of companies correlate with their policy understanding and acceptance. The analysis results show that the surveyed companies indicate moderate understanding of, as well as resistance to carbon pricing policies, while appreciating the economic incentives and accepting the mandatory regulations in this phase. Companies' understanding is more related to characteristics, i.e., sector, size, etc. than external pressures. This study found that the extent to which companies understand policy is the essential factor in their policy acceptance and related practices. In particular, understanding of carbon policy significantly influences their managerial practices and voluntary activities for carbon and energy practices. This study substantiates the correlation between the level of policy understanding of a company and its carbon and energy practices - something that all countries seeking to introduce carbon pricing in response to climate change should consider prior to policy actually being implemented; in other words, enhancing the understanding of major policy subjects of the new instrument is a key policy strategy that should be elaborated as it will lead to better performance of companies and smoother policy implementation.

This study is intended to develop an economic feasibility methodology of A/R CDM projects based on two project cases in China and Vietnam and to evaluate the project profitability from the view point of credit type selection between temporary CER (tCER) and long term CER (lCER) as well as from the aspect of CER prices by using indicators IRR, the year in which a single year profit is achieved and the year in which the accumulated deficit is cleared. For A/R CDM projects of industrial plantations, tCER is more suitable than lCER. Profitability of A/R CDM projects depend on the price of wood and CERs. In the case that the project participants take responsibility for replacement of credits to make the price of their CERs at higher levels, thus the project may not be feasible as a CDM project. However, minimum required tCER prices without replacement are 11US$/t $CO_2$, thus the project may be feasible under the future carbon market scheme.

A cap-and-trade program accounting for 60 percent of total national greenhouse gas emissions was launched in South Korea in 2015. Academic literature expects that the implementation of such a policy is likely to adversely impact income distribution among various socioeconomic groups in developed countries. South Korea is challenged by equity issues, as well circumstances, the distributional implications of carbon pricing policies need to be examined and reflected in the design of the program prior to implementation in order not to exacerbate social inequity. Using environmentally extended input-output analysis together with household expenditure data, this study finds that a carbon pricing policy will be regressive in South Korea, but the extent depends on whether relative burdens of a carbon pricing policy are measured based on current incomes or proxies of permanent incomes. Along with poor households, this paper finds that elderly and urban households will be more adversely impacted in South Korea. These burdens can be relieved if a small fraction of the revenue is redistributed to households.

Participants can use the allowances and offsets for implementing the compliance in the Emissions Trading Scheme(ETS). There are alternative commodities which are different prices it gives the opportunities to reduce the compliance costs and get the arbitrage. This study analyzes the price driver of spread which is the difference between EUA and sCER using AR-GARCH model, EUA and CER during the Phase 2 in EU ETS. The results show that there are common elements which impacts the EUA and sCER and also different elements between them. EUA and sCER get the effects from energy price and economic criteria such as coal price and financial crisis as common elements. However them get the effects from electric price, policy criteria such as restricted CERs and difference price between EUA and ERU price as different elements. The results shows that spread will be widen if energy price increase, especially oil and electric price give more impacts the spreads. This study has the means that it explains the reason why the spreads will broaden sharply in 2012. And it also suggests the price driver of spread during the whole period of Phase 2. In addition, this study shows that political aspects maybe become the main criteria of price change with structural elements shch as energy price in Korea ETS which starts in 2015.
