Abstract:
As market-based caps on greenhouse gas emissions have emerged as a primary policy response to climate change, carbon markets have become a critical component of the regulatory landscape.

Schwartz and Sloan propose strategies for capturing the value of carbon reductions under different regulatory regimes and how to account for the risks and liabilities in transactions under those regulatory frameworks.
