TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize findings regarding the optimal use of carbon revenues from both traditional economic analyses and studies in behavioural and political science that are focused on public acceptability, and compare real-world carbon pricing regimes with theoretical insights on distributional fairness, revenue salience, political trust and policy stability.

TL;DR: Learning from policy challenges during the COVID-19 crisis could enhance efforts to reduce GHG emissions and prepare humanity for future crises, as well as provide lessons for climate change mitigation policy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the distributional effects of a carbon tax reform when households must consume carbon-intensive goods above a subsistence level are analyzed, and the reform is progressive if revenues are recycled as uniform lump-sum transfers, in other cases it is regressive.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ a framework which accounts for the distributional effect of environmental taxes and the recycling of the revenues on both households and firms to quantify changes in the optimal tax structure and the equity impacts of an environmental tax reform.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the impact of robot adoption on employment in Europe and find that robot use is linked to an increase in aggregate employment and do not find evidence of robots reducing the share of low-skill workers across Europe.
