Public Preferences for Carbon Tax Attributes (2015, background): “Second, previous research reveals that people are more positive towards environmental taxes if they trust their politicians and their co-citizens (Harring and Jagers, 2013; Hammar and Jagers, 2006; Kollmann and Reichl, 2015).”
To tax, or not to tax: preferences for climate policy attributes (2012, background): “Hammar and Jagers (2006, 2007) also found that Swedish attitudes towards CO2 taxes are positively affected by their trust in politicians and whether the policy is fair.”
Perceived fairness and public acceptability of carbon pricing: a review of the literature (2019, background): “For instance, in a study for Sweden, Hammar and Jagers (2006) showed that 64% of a sample of 1270 respondents expressed a low level of trust in politics in general terms.”
