• Job losses and political acceptability of climate policies: why the ‘job-killing’ argument is so persistent and how to overturn it (2018, background): “An alternative plan, which has worked particularly well in Canada, is to recycle the revenues from a carbon tax to reduce labour taxation (e.g. Yamazaki, 2017).”
• Climate policy co-benefits: a review (2020, background): “Yamazaki (2017) empirically analyses British Columbia’s revenue-neutral carbon tax, finding falling employment in the most carbon-intensive and trade-sensitive industries, while the opposite is seen in clean service industries, with a small but statistically significant 0.74% net average annual…”
• The Macroeconomic Impact of Europe’s Carbon Taxes (2020, unknown): “These results are consistent with an analysis of the employment effects of the British Columbia carbon tax by Yamazaki (2017).”
• The Impacts of Environmental Regulations on Competitiveness (2017, background): “In an econometric analysis of the impact of British Columbia’s unilateral revenue-neutral carbon tax, Yamazaki (2017) finds that the carbon tax generated a small but statistically significant 2 percent increase in employment in British Columbia relative to other (free of carbon taxes) provinces over”
• Climate policies and skill-biased employment dynamics: Evidence from EU countries (2018, background): “Although such negative effects can be offset by well-designed tax recycling schemes (Yamazaki, 2017), direct subsidies to the green economy (Vona et al., 2018b) and induced innovations (Horbach and Rennings, 2013; Gagliardi et al., 2016), climate policies can still have large distributional…”
