EfD Authors:

The main aim of this paper is to analyze the different impacts of carbon taxation inMexican households at different income levels. First, we estimate a household demandsystem for non-durable goods with special emphasis on energy-related goods. Then, weuse the results to simulate the introduction of a carbon tax. We look at the potential toraise revenue with the aim of implementing different redistributive policies in order toaddress issues of inequality and poverty. Moreover, we evaluate the effects of carbontaxes on demand and emissions reduction.

Synthesis of evidence yields high social cost of carbon due to structural model variation and uncertainties

Submitted by Petra Hansson on

Estimating the cost to society from a ton of CO 2, termed the social cost of carbon (SCC), requires connecting a model of the climate system with a representation of the economic and social effects of changes in climate, and the aggregation of diverse, uncertain impacts across both time and space. A growing literature has examined the effect of fundamental structural elements of the models supporting SCC calculations. This work has accumulated in a piecemeal fashion, leaving their relative importance unclear.
