The Clean Development Mechanism can be viewed not only as a market, but also as a subsidy and a political mechanism that has been most effective, so far, in achieving its political goals.

The authors show that both effects are important to consider and thus recommend a combined margin approach for most projects, based on grid-specific data, and propose a three-category framework, according to projects’ relative scale and environmental risk.

Ecological EconomicsTemporary credits: A solution to the potential non-permanence of carbon sequestration in forests?
46 Citations2005Kevin Maréchal, Walter Hecq
The main finding is that the concept of expiring credits (EC) provides a convincing answer to the issue of non-permanence both from an environmental perspective and from a strictly financial point of view (as it has the property of efficiently dealing with uncertainties and therefore hedges the risk).
