Abstract

The study seeks to provide a deeper insight and strategies into the carbon trading market, the internal mechanism, and the linkage mechanism for emission reduction in the carbon trading market right from its inception. The study differs from most prior research on carbon trading, as this current paper incorporates the carbon market with the dissipative structure theory. Based on the dissipative structure theory, this study adapts the entropy generation principle as the base for the carbon trading market. The study captures the following key dimensions: the change of carbon market value, the entropy generation principle of carbon quota trading process, and the replacement process involved in production factors in carbon trading. The study revealed that the entropy generation of the carbon trading market is mainly caused by the cost gradient formed as a result of the cost difference of emission reduction and the increase of production factor input required by economic development. Moreover, the study revealed clearly the dynamics of the entropy index and the carbon market emission reduction efficiency. Thus, the lower the entropy value of the carbon market, the higher the emission reduction efficiency.
