Dear Climate-L readers,
Climate Policy journal is pleased to share a new free to access paper:
The impact of compensatory measures on public support for carbon taxation: an experimental study in Sweden
by Sverker Jagers, Johan Martinsson and Simon Matti
with the following key policy insights:
· Perceptions of fairness are highly important for explaining public support for climate policy tools, specifically CO2 taxes.
· Compensatory measures can be a powerful policy design tool to increase perceptions of the policy as less unfair.
· However, the effect of compensatory measures on policy support is conditioned by ideological position, and only successful among people to the ideological right.
· In contexts dominated by right-wing ideals, a combination of a tax and a compensatory scheme may be a successful route forward towards increased climate policy support.
· In left-oriented contexts the results imply that a CO2 tax without compensation seems more likely to increase support.
We encourage you to share this announcement with your peers and networks. Thank you.
