Abstract

The Target is to examine new method of setting baseline for Clean Development Mechanism proposed by the CDM-EB at UN. The proposal is to reduce transaction costs so that projects in smaller countries can be supported and focus is placed more on energy efficiency projects.Stuies are based on documentations issued by the CDM office at UN. BUilding upon empirical findings, with a reference to previous literature, a utilization of economic theory, especially those related to incentive and mechanism design is intended.We find some incentive problems with the proposed reform. Also cost saving aspects are suspicious to some extent. We try to find the way to rectify the observed deffect and also attempt to find an alternative way toalleviate costs and promote energy projects.
