Carbon emission allowance(CEA) has been becoming an important factor for firms to make production policies. Cap-and-trade system is fulfilling in many countries and regions as a market scheme promoted by many politicians and economists for its efficiency in resources assignment and promotion to abatement of carbon emission. More and more firms take CEA into their production plan which makes them confronted with influences from two markets, product market and CEA trade market in the meanwhile. Based on the Newsboy model for simplicity, and with assumption that demand of product is a stochastic variable, this paper establishes optimization models to get the optimal production policy under administrative scheme (command-and-control) and market scheme (cap-and-trade) respectively. By comparing the firms' production policy and expected net income(ENI) with or without the existence of CEA trade market, it is found that CEA trade market can reduce the optimal amount of production and carbon emission on the one hand, and it does not decrease firms' ENI on the another hand because the CEA trade market provides more options for firms to make production policy. Hence, in the proposed complete and perfect market, we concluded cautiously that market-based carbon emission abatement scheme is effective to reduce carbon emission and to accomplish regulatory carbon emission abatement goal.
