Abstract: Nowadays, all policy makers must engage with direct and indirect carbon pricing issues. However, the implications of different types of tools and methods to price carbon and support decarbonization deserve further attention in view of their development implications. Two aspects—revenue recycling and complementary policies—are critical when it comes to ensuring that carbon pricing and taxation measures are supportive of broader sustainable structural economic transformation and help to avoid a 'green squeeze'.
