measurementA survey of more than 400 academic experts on carbon pricing across the globe found that nearly twice as many experts favor a carbon tax over a cap-and-trade scheme for unilateral carbon pricing.

claimThe authors of 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' suggest that cross-country heterogeneity in recommendations for carbon taxes versus cap-and-trade schemes may indicate that policy-makers lack clear-cut guidance, potentially stalling progress on carbon pricing.

claimExperts who recommend a carbon tax also tend to recommend higher carbon prices on average, according to Drupp et al. (2024).

procedureThe authors of 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' identified potential experts on carbon pricing by running an automated keyword search in SCOPUS for authors of at least two publications since 2000 that have been cited at least once, using terms such as 'carbon tax' and 'cap-and-trade,' and filtering for those with a workable email address.
