Professor Noah Dormady has a forthcoming paper in the journal Energy Economics. "Carbon Auctions, Energy Markets & Market Power: An Experimental Analysis" uses a set of controlled lab experiments to test the effect of market power on an energy market under a carbon trading system. Dormady's analysis suggests that dominant firms can utilize natural linkages that exist between the energy and carbon market to their advantage by behaving strategically in a way that simultaneously inflates the price of energy and suppresses the price of carbon permits. » Click here to read the paper
