A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'As someone who has been involved in speaking, disseminating knowledge and engaging with policy makers for the last couple of decades on environmental taxation I whole heartedly support and endorse this collection of topical and informative papers. I have known Larry since first meeting him at one of the early Global Conference on Environmental Taxation in Singapore, which he founded and has committed himself to making the premier international green tax event. I consider these two volumes are a fascinating insight in to the latest thinking and research in the field and are a highly valued reference source.' --- Chas Roy-Chowdhury, The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, UK

'After the drop in the price of oil, the issue of a carbon tax to complement the EU emission trading scheme is coming back to the fore of political debate. In this volume on carbon pricing, the reader can find an excellent mix of economic theory and policy analysis. To anyone interested in this field, this collection of papers represents a very important contribution to an in-depth understanding of the main tools that can be used to successfully fight climate change.' --- Alberto Majocchi, University of Pavia, Italy

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Carbon Pricing reflects upon and further develops the ongoing and worthwhile global debate into how to design carbon pricing, and how to utilize the financial proceeds in the best possible way for society. The world has recently witnessed a significant downward adjustment in fossil fuel prices, which has negative implications for the future of our environment. In light of these negative developments, it is important to understand the benefits of environmental sustainability through well-documented research. This discerning book considers the design of carbon taxes and examines the consequential outcomes of different taxation compositions as regulatory instruments. Expert contributors assess a variety of national experiences to provide an empirical insight into the use of carbon taxes, emissions trading, energy taxes and excise taxes. The overarching discussion concludes that successful policies used by some countries can be implemented in other jurisdictions with minimum new research and experimentation. This astute work will benefit scholars, practitioners and policy makers alike with an interest in the fields of environmental law, environmental economics, sustainable development and taxation law.
