Banking behavior under uncertainty: Evidence from the US Sulfur Dioxide Emissions Allowance Trading Program Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Olivier ROUSSE

Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
The aim of this paper is to examine portfolio management of emission allowances in the US Sulfur Dioxide Emissions Allowance Trading Program, to determine whether utilities have a real motive to bank when risk increases. We test a theoretical model linking the motivation of the firm to accumulate permits in order to prepare itself to face a risky situation in the future. Empirical estimation using data for years 2001 to 2004 provides evidence of a relationship between banking behavior and uncertainty the utility is facing with.
