Description
Yan Zhang's dataset contains raw data and results for a contract-consistent framework pricing forest-based carbon collateral under uncertainty. It applies the framework to the Ning'er afforestation case in Yunnan, China, covering 51,365 mu and 719,680 te of expected carbon assets, using weekly pre-loan transaction data from 31 August 2018 to 30 September 2022. The data includes model outputs such as an option-adjusted collateral value of CNY 71.87 million and a model-implied lower-bound pledgeable amount of CNY 5.92 million.
Use Cases
Forecasting carbon prices based on thin and irregular China Certified Emission Reduction (CCER) trading data mentioned in the description
Valuing forest-based carbon collateral using threshold-based option valuation described in the framework
Analyzing the sensitivity of financing capacity to carbon price, effective deliverability, and volatility as shown in the sensitivity analysis
Modeling the translation between economic collateral value and lender-recognised lendable value as a constrained problem
Strengths
Includes data for a specific, large-scale case covering 51,365 mu and 719,680 te of expected carbon assets
Uses a defined weekly time series from 31 August 2018 to 30 September 2022
Model outputs provide concrete valuation figures (e.g., CNY 71.87 million, CNY 5.92 million) for analysis
