Harry Clarke

No 249381, Working Papers from Australian National University, Centre for Climate Economics & Policy

Abstract: This paper asks three questions. First, how do carbon taxes drive economic and environmental outcomes? Second, what is the appropriate economic base on which carbon taxes should be levied? Finally, how well does a carbon tax deliver economic‐environmental outcomes compared to a comparable emissions trading scheme.
