Their expected emissions appears to play a significant role in the choice of their options strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Marc Chesney, Luca Taschini and Mei Wang<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>Working Paper 41 Abstract This paper examines the investment strategies of regulated companies in abatement technologies, market participants&rsquo; trading behaviours,&hellip;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[648,247,188,754],"publication-type":[435],"topic_area":[4694,4698],"class_list":["post-3868","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","tag-abatement","tag-behaviour","tag-cap-and-trade","tag-technology","publication-type-working-papers","topic_area-policy-evaluation","topic_area-behavioural-responses"],"acf":{"downloads":{"ref_value":"field_52f16cc1a80f2","value":["https:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/granthaminstitute\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/WP41_markets-emissions-permits.pdf"],"type":"download","post_type":""},"profile_link":{"ref_value":"field_52f164b5189e9","value":["luca-taschini"],"type":"relationship","post_type":"profile"},"spotlight":{"ref_value":"field_52f80896506d3","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"exclude_from_sync":{"ref_value":"field_560538b0e7350","value":"0","type":false,"post_type":""},"rss_newsletter":{"ref_value":"field_54f5c2c1544d8","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
