The paper analyzes the distributional effects of climate policy by examining heterogeneity in households’ carbon intensity of consumption. It constructs a novel dataset that includes information on…

Twenty years after its launch, the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) stands as the world's largest and most mature carbon market. The ETS has developed, from generous allowance…

Beijing’s emissions trading scheme (ETS) is one of the earliest with sustained high permit prices among seven CO2 ETS pilots in China. Using a fuzzy regression discontinuity design with a unique…

Abstract Carbon taxation is suggested as an efficient instrument for the clean energy transition. However, high resulting prices for coal and electricity could adversely impact industrial performance…

Abstract Climate change mitigation is often assumed to be cheaper in developing countries than in developed countries. Yet, existing analyses frequently ignore the cost-effectiveness of price-based…

Key Messages With carbon pricing, households in most countries and regions have a tendency to change from fossil-based fuels to more traditional and polluting alternatives like firewood and charcoal…

Abstract While public attitudes regarding climate change have been widely explored in the global north, survey work is still limited in the global south countries. Here we analysed survey data (n = 8…

Abstract Carbon pricing has been proposed as an efficient instrument to reduce carbon emissions and curb climate change. However, in low-income countries, resulting high energy prices might induce…

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…
