Environmental taxation for good and for bad: the efficiency and legitimacy of Sweden's carbon tax (2009, background): “The fourth, about trust, we have dealt with elsewhere (Hammar and Jagers 2006, 2007) and, as argued in the text, the fifth falls out due to practical reasons.”
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.”
Analysis of alternative policy instruments to promote electric vehicles in Austria (2011, background): “Furthermore, it is a cost-effective policy instrument as it generates revenues for the government that can be used to subsidize cleaner technologies [18].”
Perceived fairness and public acceptability of carbon pricing: a review of the literature (2019, background): “Perceived (un)fairness of carbon pricing has been found to be significantly correlated with its (low) public acceptability 5 (Hammar and Jagers, 2007; Dreyer and Walker, 2013; Clayton, 2018).”
Who emits most? Associations between socio-economic factors and UK households' home energy, transport, indirect and total CO2 emissions (2013, background): “Whilst taxes on transport or motor fuel emissions are often perceived as unfair because they hit the poorest more (Hammar and Jagers, 2007), this needs to be put in perspective as they are likely to be much less regressive than carbon taxes on domestic energy.”
What explains public support for climate policies? A review of empirical and experimental studies (2016, background): “For instance, research from Sweden found that public attitudes towards CO2 taxation became more favourable after the release of Al Gore’s documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ and the publication of the ‘Stern Review’ (Löfgren & Nordblom, 2010).”
