Carbon prices for the next hundred years
Gerlagh, Reyer; Liski, Matti - 2014
World income grows fast without verifiable climate-change impacts on the economy. The growth spell can end if climate impacts turn real but this can take decades to learn. We develop a tractable stochastic climate-economy model with a hidden-state impact process to evaluate the contributions of...

Pigou pushes preferences : decarbonisation and endogenous values
Mattauch, Linus; Hepburn, Cameron; Stern, Nicholas H. - 2018
Avoiding unmanageable climate change implies that global greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced rapidly. A significant body of literature shows that policy instruments such as carbon prices can make an important contribution to this goal. In contrast, changes in preferences or values are...

Carbon prices for the next thousand years
Gerlagh, Reyer; Liski, Matti - 2012
Climate is a persistent asset, bar none: changes in climate-related stocks have consequences spanning over centuries or possibly millennia to the future. To reconcile the discounting of such far-distant impacts and realism of the shorter-term decisions, we consider hyperbolic time-preferences in...

Fiscal consolidation and climate policy : an overlapping generations perspective ; conference paper
Rausch, Sebastian - 2013 - This version: March 1, 2013, very preliminary
We examine the distributional and efficiency impacts of climate policy in the context of fiscal consolidation in a dynamic general-equilibrium overlapping generations model of the US economy. The model includes a disaggregated production structure, including energy sector detail and advanced...

How to finance climate change policies? : evidence from consumers' beliefs
D'Acunto, Francesco; Möhrle, Sascha; Neumeier, Florian; … - 2022
Climate change policies have been rising to the top of the global political agenda, but how should governments finance them? Public economists propose solutions based on economic theory, but their political feasibility depends on voters' support, and ordinary households often neglect economic...

Modelling the impacts of a national carbon tax in a country with inhomogeneous regional development : an actor-based system-dynamic approach : paper presented at ERSA 54th Congress...
Kovalevsky, Dmitry V.; Hasselmann, Klaus - 2014
warming develops. It is thus important that the impacts of climate mitigation policies are assessed not only on global and … national levels, but also on the regional level. The key tool for assessing the efficiency of climate mitigation policies and … function. We compare a business-as-usual scenario (no mitigation policy) with various mitigation scenarios with different …

Does information help to overcome public resistance to carbon prices? : evidence from an information provision experiment
Cantner, Fabienne; Rolvering, Geske - 2022
To study how different economic information affect people's perceptions and attitudes towards carbon prices, we conduct an online survey experiment in a representative sample of the German voting population. We find that providing information about the efficiency of carbon prices as well as on...

Carbon tax burdens on low-income households : a reason for delaying climate policy
Parry, Ian W. H. - 2015
This paper discusses techniques for measuring the incidence of carbon taxes across different household income groups and provides some cross-country estimates of these effects for selected advanced countries. The general message of this paper is that distributional concerns should not...
