• Distributional and Efficiency Impacts of Clean and Renewable Energy Standards for Electricity (2012, methodology): “…sources side of income.3 Sources side effects have been shown to be critical for assessing the incidence of environmental policies (Fullerton and Heutel, 2007; Rausch et al., 2011a), but the scope of a partial equilibrium electric-sector analysis implies that that those effects cannot be captured.”
• The Distributional Effects of US Clean Energy Tax Credits (2015, background): “, 2009) and carbon taxes (e.g. Hassett et al., 2009; Burtraw et al., 2009; Rausch et al., 2011; Williams et al., 2015), but clean energy tax credits have received far less attention.”
• Impacts of a carbon tax across US household income groups: What are the equity-efficiency trade-offs? (2018, positive): “Rausch et al. (2011) offer an alternativemethod for examining the distributional implications of the use- and source-side price changes, an approach in which numeraire choice does not affect the results.”
• Vertical and Horizontal Redistributions from a Carbon Tax and Rebate (2019, positive): “A GE model with individual household data is difficult, though not impossible (Rausch et al. 2011), but such an effort here still would not definitively show whether the wage/rental ratio rises or falls.”
• THE INITIAL INCIDENCE OF A CARBON TAX ACROSS INCOME GROUPS (2015, positive): “For example, Rausch et al. (2011) use a CGE model to show that a portion of costs is borne by the owners of resources and capital, which lessens the regressivity of the policy.”
• The unequal distribution of household carbon footprints in Europe and its link to sustainability (2020, background): “, 2018) and the effect of (prospective) environmental policies on different household groups (Cullenward et al., 2016; Melnikov et al., 2017; Rausch et al., 2011).”
• Quantifying regional economic impacts of CO2 intensity targets in China (2012, background): “Many studies apply computable general equilibrium (CGE)models, oftenwith detailed physical accounting for energy, to capture the economy-wide impacts of policy on supply, demand, and relative prices (Alton et al., 2012; Caron et al., 2012; Ferreira-Filho and Horridge, 2012; Lanz and Rausch, 2011, 20”
• How to make a carbon tax reform progressive: The role of subsistence consumption (2015, methodology): “Previous literature either relies on large numerical models (Rausch et al., 2010, 2011) or on rather specific modeling assumptions (Fullerton and Monti, 2013; Chiroleu-Assouline and Fodha, 2014).2 In fact, there seems to be some disagreement in the theoretical literature on the extent to which the…”
• Carbon tax and revenue recycling: Impacts on households in British Columbia (2015, background): “The proportionality of the spending pattern heterogeneity might be surprising because the previous literature normally argues that the spending pattern heterogeneity leads to the regressivity (Rausch et al. (2010), Rausch et al. (2011), and Dissou and Siddiqui (2014)).”
