PUTTING A PRICE ON CARBON:

A Handbook for U.S. Policymakers


Слайд 3WHY PRICE CARBON?
Pricing carbon can be a core element of U.S.

long-term climate change strategy

A carbon price can also serve other policy goals
Promote economic growth
Support clean energy
Transition assistance

www.wri.org/carbonpricing


Слайд 4OBJECTIVES
Putting a Price on Carbon provides an overview of carbon

pricing
Basic primer
Refresher and reference work

Future work from WRI will build on this foundation

www.wri.org/carbonpricing


Слайд 5PAPER OVERVIEW

A Brief History of Carbon Pricing
Key Design

www.wri.org/carbonpricing

Federal proposals
McCain/Lieberman (2003)
Waxman/Markey (2009)
Whitehouse/Schatz (2014)

…and

many more



Слайд 9PROGRAM TYPE: CARBON TAX VS CAP-AND-TRADE
Both incentivize emissions reductions
Similar design

and revenue decisions
Carbon tax offers administrative simplicity and price certainty
Cap-and-trade offers emissions certainty

www.wri.org/carbonpricing


Слайд 10CARBON PRICE DESIGN: KEY QUESTIONS
Which gases?
Which sectors?
Where to impose the regulation?
What

price or cap level and trajectory?
Include a border tax adjustment?
How to monitor and enforce?
What complementary policies?

Слайд 11CARBON PRICE DESIGN: EXAMPLES
Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
Electricity CO2
Most revenues go to

energy efficiency
$2.9 billion in lifetime savings to 3.7 million households
British Columbia Carbon Tax
Started at C$10, now C$30
Covers ~3/4 of GHGs
Most revenues used to reduce taxes

www.wri.org/carbonpricing


Слайд 12REVENUE USE
Revenue can be used to accomplish various objectives:
Promote economic growth
Offset

adverse impacts
Investment in climate change protections
Substantial revenue opportunity
$15 / tonne price could generate ~$100 billion

www.wri.org/carbonpricing


Слайд 13REVENUE NEUTRAL TAX SWAPS
Taxes on labor/capital discourage productive activity we want

more of
A carbon tax discourages activity we want less of
Why not tax destructive instead of productive activities?
For example, use revenues to reduce income or payroll taxes

www.wri.org/carbonpricing


Слайд 14LUMP SUM DIVIDEND
Send every household a check

Key advantages:
Relatively simple
Revenue neutral

(or nearly neutral)
Ensures low-income taxpayers are not negatively impacted


www.wri.org/carbonpricing


Слайд 15ADDITIONAL REVENUE USES
Various other policy objectives:
Deficit reduction
Transition assistance
R&D for

low-carbon technologies
Climate change adaptation
Different uses of revenue are of interest to different stakeholders

www.wri.org/carbonpricing


Слайд 16ECONOMISTS OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT A CARBON TAX
Source: http://www.igmchicago.org/igm-economic-experts-panel/poll-results?SurveyID=SV_8oABK2TolkGluV7; weighted by confidence

Statement: Government

should raise revenue with a carbon tax instead of labor income taxes

Слайд 17ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDIES
Winners and losers in short run

Smart use of

revenue can offset negative impacts

Trade-offs exist between revenue options

www.wri.org/carbonpricing


Слайд 18CONCLUSION
A carbon price can be the cornerstone of long-run U.S. climate

policy AND achieve multiple additional objectives
Designing a carbon pricing policy involves a number of important decisions that can broaden support

www.wri.org/carbonpricing


Слайд 19FUTURE RESEARCH
WRI aims to promote dialogue on why and how to

implement a carbon price
WRI will delve deeper into key issues:
Basic economics and incentives underlying a carbon price
Regional disparities and how to address them
How a carbon price can drive innovation


Keep an eye on www.wri.org/carbonpricing for new research
