This study investigates the relationship between distinct types of inequality and CO2 emissions using panel data on 156 … that pre-distribution (inequality reduction by structural changes and social protection) is better aligned with the goal of … carbon emission reduction than redistribution (inequality reduction by transfers). However, those countries who contribute …

This paper presents a novel way to disentangle inequality aversion over time from inequality aversion between regions … of inequality aversion. We use two integrated assessment models (FUND and RICE) for our numerical exercise to get more … robust findings. Our results suggest that inequality considerations lead to a higher (lower) SCC values in high (low) income …

emissions from production lead to output losses, and there is a technology for emissions absorption. We provide an aggregation … damage function. This result offers a simple rule to account for inequality in the design of climate policy. We show that … wealthier regions should bear more responsibility for carbon capture to cleanse the atmosphere, and that inequality per se does …

The question of whether changes in income inequality affect CO2 emissions remains a topic of debate at both theoretical … distribution on consumptionbased CO2 emissions per capita. To do so, we estimate a dynamic difference-GMM model and a dynamic … analysis highlights how different income classes contribute very differently to consumption-based CO2 emissions. In addition …

A formula is derived for the social cost of carbon (SCC) that takes account of intragenerational income inequality and … intergenerational inequality aversion and for risk aversion. If growth increases (reduces) intra-generational inequality, the SDR is … lower (higher) and the SCC higher (lower) than along an inequality-neutral growth path, especially if intra-generational and …

metric for optimal carbon prices. Previous literature shows that inequality significantly influences the level of the social … cost of carbon, but mostly neglects a major source of inequality - heterogeneity in income below the national level. We … inequality between and within countries. In particular, we demonstrate that climate and distributional policy cannot be separated …
