Abstract
Within the logistics sector, access limitation problems have so far only been handled via bottom-up coordination. With the implementation of the European Union’s Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) a regulatory top-down approach for coordinating the use of shared resources got implemented. We analyze the new regulations using three core characteristics to examine whether the market-based mechanism could be used to coordinate similar economic problems. Insights about the major issues of sharing problems illustrate potential effects on the logistics sector.
