Environmental and Production Rights Futures: A New Booming Market?
Derivatives Quarterly
Posted: 14 Oct 1997
Abstract
Governments or supranational organizations have begun to introduce environmental rights (such as sulfur dioxide or chlorofluorocarbon rights) and production rights (such as milk and fishery rights) to better link production process costs and results. The authors show that the characteristics of these rights make them quite suitable for futures trading. They are an efficient tool for hedging against adverse fluctuations both in prices of rights and in the profit capacity of complicated production processes.
