We estimate the impacts of an energy tax – the Climate Change Levy (CCL) – on the manufacturing sector using panel data … (CCA). Since the CCAs stipulate specific targets for energy usage or carbon emissions, this comparison yields a lower bound … evidence that CCA participation had a strong positive impact on growth in both energy intensity and energy expenditures.
