Abstract Emissions pricing is a regulatory instrument that imposes a cost on emissions that are harmful to the natural environmental and humans. It is a flexible instrument in that it allows agents…

Abstract Climate policies such as carbon taxes for emissions reduction could be detrimental to social welfare in developing countries. High energy prices could induce substitution towards traditional…
