Carbon taxes are widely regarded as one of the most effective and economically efficient policy instruments for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Yet they face significant political hurdles due to their visible costs and distributional consequences. My research in this area examines the political feasibility of carbon taxation, including how revenue recycling can build public support, how concerns about personal income and fairness shape preferences over carbon tax design, and how information about the unequal distribution of carbon emissions across income groups affects willingness to accept these policies. This work also considers the international dimension — how the carbon pricing choices of other countries influence domestic support for carbon taxation.
