Abstract

A carbon tax, or a well-designed trading scheme that ensures a credible long-term price on all emissions, would certainly be part of an efficient global system for the reduction of carbon emissions. But what if only some countries impose a carbon price? Could it be that energy-intensive industries would be made uncompetitive in the countries which impose a carbon price? John Fitz Gerald, Mary Keeney and Sue Scott examine whether such fears are justified for key industrial sectors in a recent paper.*
