Carbon Tax and Greenhouse Gas Control: Options and Considerations for Congress
$19.23
Market-based mechanisms that limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be divided into two types: quantity control (e.g., cap-and-trade) and price control (e.g., carbon tax or fee). To some extent, a carbon tax and a cap-and-trade program would produce similar effects: Both are estimated to increase the price of fossil fuels, which would ultimately be borne by consumers, particularly households. Although there are multiple tools available to policymakers that could control GHG emissions-including existing statutory authorities-this report focuses on a carbon tax approach and how it compares to its more frequently discussed counterpart: cap-and-trade.
