20 Years of EU ETS Data | Insights from the Life Coase Project

As carbon pricing grows in importance for EU climate policy, attention is turning to the data that underpins analysis and evaluation of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). While substantial datasets exist, challenges remain in ensuring transparency, compatibility, and accessibility across sources. These limitations hinder both rigorous research and broader stakeholder understanding of the system’s functioning and efficiency. In this webinar, Jan Abrell (University of Basel) and Marie Raude (European University Institute) introduce the viewers to the data, its limitations and efforts made to enhance its usability. These efforts have been an integral part of the EU-funded LIFE COASE project and are meant to pave the way for greater quality and greater quantity of empirical studies assessing the EU ETS.
