EfD Authors:
The main aim of this paper is to analyze the different impacts of carbon taxation inMexican households at different income levels. First, we estimate a household demandsystem for non-durable goods with special emphasis on energy-related goods. Then, weuse the results to simulate the introduction of a carbon tax.

Synthesis of evidence yields high social cost of carbon due to structural model variation and uncertainties
EfD Authors:
Estimating the cost to society from a ton of CO 2, termed the social cost of carbon (SCC), requires connecting a model of the climate system with a representation of the economic and social effects of changes in climate, and the aggregation of diverse, uncertain impacts across both time and space. A growing literature has examined the effect of fundamental structural elements of the models supporting SCC calculations. This work has accumulated in a piecemeal fashion, leaving their relative importance unclear.
