The road to a low emission society: Costs of interacting climate regulations

Bye, Brita; Kaushal, Kevin R.; Rosnes, Orvika; Turner, Karen - 2021

Transportation is one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Climate regulations on transportation are often a mix of sector-specific regulations and economy-wide measures (such as emission pricing). In this paper we analyse the effects on economic welfare, abatement costs and...
