Abstract

We provide the first intraday analysis on the contribution to price discovery of two emissions carbon credits: European Union Allowances (EUAs) and Certified Emission Reductions (CERs). We find that EUAs lead price discovery but CERs play a growing role and, therefore, should not be ignored.

Keywords: European Union Allowances, Certified Emission Reductions, co-integration, price-discovery, high frequency data, intraday analysis

JEL Classification: G10
