'For all its conceptual simplicity, emissions trading has proven a remarkably challenging policy instrument to implement in practice. With a growing number of jurisdictions around the world embracing carbon markets to achieve their climate targets, an improved understanding of instrument design and operation - including the complex spillover dynamics encountered in existing systems - has never been more critical. This book, ably edited by a leading scholar in the field, makes an important and timely contribution to the literature, bringing together experts from a wide variety of backgrounds to dissect the accumulated body of empirical evidence and expand the boundaries of our knowledge on emissions trading.'
