Abstract
- The article discusses a research on the role of taxes and other instruments in environmental and energy policy. It reviews a similar study which showed that while environmental tax enhanced efficiency by discouraging pollution, it was still a distortionary tax. An analysis of European energy and climate policy suggest that the benefits of auctioning permits from a European carbon cap and trade system vary substantially across countries.
