New publication: Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe with Robert Schmidt and @moritzdrupp.bsky.social in Environmental and Resource Economics! We present the largest international expert survey on carbon pricing design (400+ participants, ~40 countries). Some highlights.

Working paper alert! I generalize discounted utilitarianism to endogenous population settings and avoid most drawbacks of existing welfare criteria. Read more here: www.ifo.de/DocDL/cesifo.... Comments are welcome!

Germany's eco-tax reform led to sizable reductions not only in carbon emissions but also in harmful local air pollutants. Benefits accrued disproportionately to lower-income and more polluted areas. Piero Basaglia, Sophie Behr, @moritzdrupp.bsky.social cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky
Graph showing the evolution of transport fuel taxes in Germany and OECD average.

Fuel and carbon prices are typically assessed based on their effectiveness in reducing emissions, while their broader societal benefits often go overlooked. This column evaluates one of the world’s largest environmental tax experiments – Germany’s eco-tax reform – and finds that it led to sizable reductions not only in carbon emissions but also in harmful local air pollutants. Estimates reveal that two-thirds of the monetised benefits of the eco-tax stemmed from health gains linked to cleaner air and accrued disproportionately to lower-income and more polluted areas, suggesting that fuel taxes can deliver pro-poor environmental gains, even when their cost incidence is regressive.

How much does carbon pollution really cost society? In the latest Science Sessions episode, Frances Moore discusses new research suggesting the social cost of carbon is higher than previously estimated. Listen now: www.pnas.org/post/podcast...

Check out this great paper by @felixschaumann.bsky.social with @edualastrue.bsky.social out now in @pnas.org that integrates climate science with climate economics to study the social cost of carbon implications of reduced AMOC weakening. Super impressive work for a first PhD chapter👇

Check out this thread by @climatefran.bsky.social on our new paper in @pnas.org out today providing most comprehensive (i.e. still incomplete) evidence on the social cost of CO2 (SCC), with a meta-analysis + expert survey & a combination of elements of both to generate a “synthetic SCC” (mean≈$280)👇

New @aeajournals.bsky.social paper with @moritzdrupp.bsky.social & Robert Schmidt studies carbon price recommendations by >400 experts. We find a clear consensus on higher carbon prices, which help meet climate goals & reduce reliance on autocrats. See what experts can(not) agree on. #EconSky
