Personal carbon allowances: A revised model to alleviate distributional issues

Martin Burgess

Ecological Economics, 2016, vol. 130, issue C, 316-327

Abstract: Personal Carbon Allowances (PCAs) are a policy proposal designed to facilitate carbon emissions reduction and engender carbon consciousness: they were investigated by the UK government in 2006–2008 but subsequently shelved. With continuing growth of atmospheric CO2 concentrations and increasing interest in behaviour change agendas PCAs are worthy of fresh development.
