Paper Summary

Emission trading has been successful in developed countries like the USA and Europe for controlling pollution. They have moved from trading SO2 emissions to CO2 emissions. China has also started emission trading for SO2, but it's not yet nationwide. China's rapid growth in energy production from coal has led to severe pollution. The government is considering emission trading as a way to control pollution.
