There is a growing interest in using carbon taxes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, not only in industrialized economies but also in developing economies. Many countries have considered carbon pricing, including carbon taxes, as policy instruments to meet their emission reduction targets set under the Paris Climate Agreement. However, policy makers,

Abstract Economists argue that carbon taxation (and more generally carbon pricing) is the single most powerful way to combat climate change. Since this is so controversial, we need to explain it better, and to be precise, the efficiency gains are largest when the costs of abatement are strongly heterogeneous.

Green tax reform: converting implicit carbon taxes to a pure carbon tax
Environmental Economics and Policy Studies, 2000Global warming has become one of the most important issues in international society.

Optimal introduction of carbon taxes
Energy Systems, 2012This paper considers the optimal phasing of carbon taxes when firms face intertemporal investment decisions. It is shown that the optimal policy is to switch immediately to the Pigouvian carbon tax if firms have rational expectations. If instead firms are myopic, then starting with an even higher tax is necessary to speed up the otherwise too sluggish ...

Is carbon-added tax better than a carbon tax for China?
2012The Kyoto protocol committed industrial nations to cut their carbon emissions by at least 5 percent below the levels in 1990 in a span of 5 years. Carbon taxation provides one mechanism for achieving such a goal. In Canada, two provinces, British Columbia and Quebec, have introduced direct carbon taxation as a policy directed at reducing carbon ...

This paper analyzes how ESG-linked executive compensation interacts with carbon taxation in a multitask principal-agent framework. A risk-neutral principal with financial and environmental preferences incentivizes a risk-averse manager to exert productive and abatement effort while facing an exogenous carbon tax on emissions.Rainer Niemann, Anna Rohlfing-Bastian
