Review on the Research of Emissions Trading of Major Pollutants

摘要

Using deductive and inductive research methods, the paper made a systematic review on domestic and international literatures about emissions trading of major pollutants. The study found that the focus of international research varied to the domestic ones. Foreign research mainly focused on the compare of the advantages and disadvantages of the pollution control measures, based on above research, probed the emissions trading system building, but domestic research is focused on the actual emissions trading operational problems. Overall, the consensus of domestic and foreign research is that: to introduce the system of transferable emissions permit, to establish the emissions trading platform, and to implement the emissions trading. However, whether domestic or foreign, the research to the emissions trading platforms, in particular to the regional emissions trading platform is very weak, which is the key to the development of emissions trading, therefore, the paper argued that the issue of emissions trading follow-up studies should focus on emissions trading platform.
