我们开发并实施了一种识别浪费补贴的新方法，并使用它来提供关于清洁发展机制中碳集合分配不当的系统证据。|世界上最大的碳O（cid：11）set计划。使用印度1,350个风电场位置和特征的新构建数据|在这种情况下，人们事先认为，清洁发展机制可以显著提高发展水平，使之超过基线预测|我们估计，至少有52%的已批准的碳o（cid：11）装置被分配给很可能已经建成的项目。除了浪费稀缺的资源，我们估计，这些o（cid：11）集的销售给受管制的污染者大大增加了全球二氧化碳排放量。
We develop and implement a new method for identifying wasted subsidies, and use it to provide systematic evidence on the misallocation of carbon o(cid:11)sets in the Clean Development Mechanism|the world’s largest carbon o(cid:11)set program. Using newly constructed data on the locations and characteristics of 1,350 wind farms in India|a context where it was believed, ex ante , that the Clean Development Mechanism could signi(cid:12)cantly increase development above baseline projections|we estimate that at least 52% of approved carbon o(cid:11)sets were allocated to projects that would very likely have been built anyway. In addition to wasting scarce resources, we estimate that the sale of these o(cid:11)sets to regulated polluters has substantially increased global carbon dioxide emissions.
