The objective of this paper is to review approaches for a quantitative analysis of economic effects from bilateral linking of Emission Trading Systems. To this end, economic models that were principally deemed suitable for analysing these economic effects have been reviewed. The review is based on a number of specific criteria: the model type, the time horizon of the model and agents, the coverage of regions, economic activities, sectors and greenhouse gases as well as the possibility of sectoral disaggregation. The assessment shows that the five most suitable models are E3ME, GEM-E3, PACE, POLES and TIMES. The results for these models are provided in detail in the model discussion part of the paper.
