This paper examines the effects of introducing a tax on carbon dioxide emissions produced
by combustion processes in OECD-European countries. A sectoral model of energy …

It is now commonly recognized that a carbon tax is one of the most effective and
economically efficient policy instruments to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. If cost …

The Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) has set legally binding emissions targets for a basket of six greenhouse gases …

This paper analyses the medium-term effects of a carbon tax on growth and CO2 emissions
in Ireland, a small open economy. We find that a double dividend exists if the carbon tax …

Carbon taxes have been proposed as a major instrument to mitigate carbon emissions and
promote an energy transition to low carbon sources. However, its adoption remains …

Is a carbon tax effective in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, and thereby mitigating
climate change? This paper is one of the first empirical analyses of this question and the first …

We estimate the long-run effect of a broad-based carbon tax on energy consumption by
using a new and unique cross-sectional dataset of effective energy tax rates of OECD …

This study investigates the distributional implications of the revenue-neutral carbon tax
policy in British Columbia. We use a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the …

Current economic instruments aimed at climate change mitigation focus on CO2 emissions
only, but the Kyoto Protocol refers to other greenhouse gases (GHG) as well as CO2. These …

This study quantifies the amount of taxes collected and the reduction in emissions that
implementing a CO 2 tax on industrial sources in Chile would generate. An optimization …
