Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe - Environmental and Resource Economics This study presents a large-scale, multi-country assessment of expert recommendations on key policy design options for implementing carbon pricing schemes at a country level, for which there is no consensus in the literature. Based on a survey of more than 400 academic experts on carbon pricing across the globe, we find that almost twice as many favor a carbon tax over a cap-and-trade scheme for unilateral carbon pricing than vice versa, and three-quarters strongly recommend using border carbon adjustment to address competitiveness concerns. By contrast, guidance on the use of revenue from carbon pricing is much more nuanced, with considerably lower support for lump-sum transfers to households than reflected in academic and policy discussions. Furthermore, recommendations on instrument choice and revenue use vary considerably with country and expert characteristics, such as GDP per capita and academic discipline. Our findings can guide the search for suitable public policy approaches that combine environmental effectiveness with economic efficiency and fairness considerations.

How to use CO₂ tax or quota revenues? Here opinions diverge — no clear consensus emerges among experts.

74% of experts – regardless of countries & background – support border carbon adjustments: import taxes tied to CO₂ pricing, plus compensation for CO₂-intensive exports.

Twice as many experts prefer a CO₂ tax over trading in CO₂ quotas (like the EU ETS). But: the figures mask significant geographical and economic differences.

We present the largest international expert survey on carbon pricing design (400+ participants, ~40 countries). Some highlights.

Whoa! Elsevier fired @richardtol.bsky.social, longstanding Editor-in-Chief of the journal Energy Economics. Richard's side of the story should be ringing alarm bells. #EconSky

Cool stuff!

men jeg nærer dog det stille håb, at de vil bidrage en smule til samtalen. At få lov at forene sig med så lærde og forstandige herrer og damer i et fælles anliggende, må vist betragtes som en af de mest udsøgte fornøjelser, som fagligheden kan skænke.

Det er med den største fornøjelse, at jeg imødeser muligheden for at ytre nogle beskedne tanker ved den Miljøøkonomiske Konference senere i denne uge. Jeg tør ikke håbe, at mine betragtninger skulle bringe sand oplysning til et så distingveret selskab, ...

By all indications, last years economics job market was much tougher than any year since the pandemic. But all signs point towards an even worse job market coming up this season.

Let me explain.

I never listened much to Black Sabbath. I am more the folk type, I guess. But today I listened a bit for the obvious reasons… I have to say, it is quite good!

Debatten har veldig lenge vore eit av dei minst interessante programma på NRK. Agendadrive, dårlig på maktforhold og enkel statistikk, samt personfokusert.

When the hardest proof of the paper "is left for readers as an exercise".
