This paper investigates options for carbon price adoption in Vietnam, with a focus on model designs capable of meeting the country's updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). We employ an ex-ante policy evaluation across environmental, economic, social, and political dimensions, drawing on interviews with key stakeholders. A multi-criteria analysis is also pursued to provide an overall comparison across policy options.

Is the cross-correlation of EU carbon market price with policy uncertainty really being? A multiscale multifractal perspective

Submitted by Luat Do on
EfD Authors:

This paper aims to examine the cross-correlation relationship between EU carbon market price and the economic policy uncertainty. The United Kingdom and the United State of America are chosen as the representative countries. We first conduct the linear analysis to explore the correlation of EU carbon market futures return with the economic policy uncertainty of the two countries. Our findings show that there is no linear correlation between EU carbon market return and economic policy uncertainty.
