Carbon pricing and fairness

Sustainable Prosperity (Added Author). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: The fairness of a carbon pricing policy is usually evaluated by assessing its impact on household income. While such information is essential to designing fair policies, consideration of additional factors, such as income at the individual level, socio-economic status, culture, gender, race, region or age, allows for the fairest policy design. This Policy Brief creates a framework for analyzing the fairness of a carbon pricing policy, and uses the British Columbia carbon tax as an example of its application.
