The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is the first large-scale multi-national greenhouse gas (GHG) trading program and a central instrument of European climate policy. The EU ETS market is still young, but growing rapidly.

What are the different design elements of the EU emissions trading scheme and what is the economic appraisal of these features?
