Emission Reductions Post Cap-and-Trade Implementation

Generalized mixed-effects model • estimate the carbon emission and carbon intensity before and after implementing cap-and trade, stratified by different industrial sectors. • We performed the PROC MIXED procedure using SAS version 9.4 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, US) to estimate the effect of selected factors on carbon dioxide emission. • * E[Yij Xij] = Po + B₁ * Cap&Trade₁j + ß2 * state; + ẞ3 * year; + ẞ4 * state¡ * ß3 ß year; ++ẞ5 * I(Sector); + ß6 * GDP; + ẞ7 * state; * I(Sector)i Cap&Tradejj ⚫i: industry sectors; j: time in years since the baseline year (from 1 to 6); . . . E[Y_ij |X_ij]: the expected carbon dioxide emission conditioned on covariates X; Bo: the intercept for the effect; B1 to B6 are estimated coefficients for the marginal effects on the emission derived from maximum likelihood method. Cap&Trade are dummy variable, state are categorical variable for the three states/provinces, and I(Sector) is indicator variable for the six sectors.
