Designing an effective climate-policy mix: accounting for instrument synergy (2021, background): “Hence, one cannot extrapolate empirical findings about competitiveness effects to carbon price ranges (or trajectories) recommended as needed to meet the Paris targets, i.e. US$50–100 by 2030 (HLCCP, 2017; IMF, 2019) or even US $245–14300 tCO2e (Masson-Delmotte et al., 2018).”
Carbon taxes and greenhouse gas emissions trading systems: what have we learned? (2018, methodology): “Economists argue that putting a price on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – carbon pricing – is the most costeffective regulatory approach to reducing those emissions (High-Level Commission on Carbon Prices, 2017).1 A price on GHG emissions provides an incentive to implement emission reduction options”
The impact of phasing out fossil fuel subsidies on the low-carbon transition (2019, background): “There is growing agreement on the fact that the lack of a stable and coherent climate and energy policy framework (Maxton and Randers 2017) and the presence of fossil fuel subsidies represent a serious obstacle to renewable energy investments (Stiglitz et al., 2017).”
Carbon pricing and deep decarbonisation (2018, background): “above the range suggested by experts for the year 2030 (Stiglitz et al., 2017) has been insufficient to meaningfully curb new investment in a carbon-emitting technology.”
