The market (in-)stability reserve for EU carbon emission trading: Why it might fail and how to improve it

a b s t r a c tThe EU parliament has accepted a proposal of the EU commission on the backloading of EU emission allowances (EUA), where the auctioning of EUAs is postponed to future time periods. The EU commission has also proposed a market stability reserve (MSR), which is a quantity-based stabilisation policy that is aimed at controlling the volume of EUAs in circulation.Using an agent-based electricity market simulation with endogenous investment and a CO 2 market (including banking), we analyse the backloading reform and the proposed MSR. We find backloading to only have a short-term impact of CO 2 prices; regardless, there is a significant risk of high CO 2 prices and volatility in the EU ETS.Our simulations indicate that the triggers of the proposed MSR appear to be set too low for the hedging need of power producers, effectively leading to a stricter cap in its initial 10e15 years of operation. While the current proposal may be improved by choosing different triggers, a reserve that is based on volume triggers is likely to increase price volatility, contrary to its purpose. Additional problems are the two-year delay in the response time and the abruptness of the response function, combined with the difficulty of estimating future hedging behaviour.

“…SoS engineering methodologies only recently have been applied to policy analysis and design, even though policy analysis has its roots in systems thinking (Chmieliauskas, et al, 2012). Systems thinking consists of three kinds of things: elements, interconnections and function or purpose (Ross & Wade, 2015).…”

Today, more than 70% of people live in and around cities. Existing urban and regional food systems are unsustainable and society expects and demands change. In order to help prevent and reduce food waste, reduce the environmental impact of food production and food waste, and promote access to healthy food for all, it is essential to design and develop smart, food-oriented food chains. Therefore, the involvement of local entrepreneurs, municipalities and citizens in the development of the food security ecosystem of cities and regions is important. Involvement in local food supply chains allows businesses to increase the added value of their products and make farmers less vulnerable to market risks by reducing the number of intermediaries through diversification and better price control, guaranteeing less asymmetric relationships with customers. Municipalities promote the consumption of quality products through green public procurement of food and thus reduce the risk of obesity and chronic diseases, but in the long run the costs of health care. In Latvia, according to the data of 2019, only 3% of biologically certified farms sold their products through public procurement, incl. purchase of school catering. The aim of this study is to identify barriers and possible solutions for increasing the share of local organic food purchased by mainstream schools. The study finds that the role of local organic food in green public procurement and its impact on territorial development is linked to environmental, social and economic benefits. The main obstacles to participating in GPP tenders and winning the tender were: 1) the quantity and range of products required (division of goods into lots), as well as the purchase prices of organic products; 2) high bureaucratic burden for "small" producers, complex Electronic Procurement System and tender submission criteria; 3 cal organic food is more expensive than imported; 4) limited financial resources; 5) insufficient amount of food produced.There were significant communication gaps between stakeholders regarding GPP, as well as a lack of knowledge about the organic market and how to implement GPP.

Public services and demands for increasing efficiency of the public administration have been in public spotlight and on the political agenda for at least last twenty years in Latvia. In Europe and the USA this trend has been going even longer. Nevertheless, the public services and their systems are still object of the research. The aim of this study is to test the suitability of the system of systems (SoS) approach for describing and researching public service system and to identify new dimensions in the understanding of the public services. The SoS approach means that the object under study is defined not as the single system, which should be managed from a single point, but as an association of several systems, where each element of the system is independent and has its own goals, tasks and interests. In order to investigate the suitability of the method, it is tested for one service, describing this service from point of view of different actors involved. The result of the study shows that investigating the public service with SoS method can reveal new dimensions of this service and gain in-depth understanding of the impact of the service process on the parties involved and society as whole.
