The U.S. and Chinese environmental protection agencies have agreed to pursue the use of market-based instruments to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions in China. This report explores the feasibility of using cap-and-trade, a specific type of market-based instrument, in reducing emissions in the current Chinese context. It assesses the political and regulatory feasibility, administrative feasibility, and the economic feasibility of China implementing a cap-and-trade policy to control SO2 emissions.
