procedureThe survey data used in 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' is available at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/9OS6CR, with the authors providing code for replication and anonymized survey data, excluding specific expert country information where anonymity cannot be preserved.

measurementThe recommendation for 'equal lump-sum transfers to households' as a carbon pricing revenue usage is supported by 42% of experts in North America, compared to only 21% of experts in the rest of the world, according to the study 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe'.

perspectiveThe authors of 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' propose that exploring heterogeneities in instrument choice and revenue use can help tailor carbon pricing policy design to local contexts, potentially increasing the likelihood of implementation and success.

measurementIn the survey conducted for 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe', the option of 'equal lump-sum transfers to households' is recommended by only 25% of all experts and ranks fourth among all revenue usage options.

procedureThe expert survey conducted by the authors of 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' included an open-ended 'Other' option for instrument choice to allow experts to indicate choices outside of the pre-defined categories.

claimAuthors F. Nesje, R.C. Schmidt, and M.A. Drupp declared no conflict of interest regarding the publication of their paper "Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe."

referenceThe article "Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe" by F. Nesje, R.C. Schmidt, and M.A. Drupp was published in the journal Environmental and Resource Economics, volume 88, pages 3585–3616, in 2025.

claimThe authors of the study 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' found that among six climate policy instruments, direct regulation received the highest rating from experts, while cap-and-trade schemes received the lowest.

measurementFemale experts recommend using carbon pricing revenue for 'green R&D' significantly more often than male experts (p = 0.006), which adjusts the share of experts recommending this option from 61% in the sample to 67% in the hypothetical population, according to the study 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe'.

procedureThe authors of 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' reweight recommendations on carbon taxes, cap-and-trade, Border Carbon Adjustments (BCA), and revenue use options by the characteristics of both respondents and non-respondents to test for non-response bias.

measurementRecommendations for using carbon pricing revenue for 'equal lump-sum transfers to households' are less frequent at global average GDP per capita levels, according to the study 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe'.

claimThe authors of 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' target a sample of more than 2,000 experts on carbon pricing to elicit factual expectations on mitigation costs and climate damages as determinants for policy design recommendations.

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.

measurementThe study 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' identified 2106 authors globally as potential experts on carbon pricing based on their publication records.

claimThe authors of the study 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' document considerable heterogeneity in recommendations for carbon pricing instrument choice and revenue use, which may lead to different conclusions regarding the role of evidence-based knowledge in carbon pricing.

procedureThe authors of 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' analyze policy design recommendations using univariate and multivariate regressions, with results presented in the main text and an Online Appendix.

claimThe article "Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe" is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

accountThe authors of 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' conducted a survey of 2106 identified global authors on carbon pricing to analyze expert recommendations on policy design and the drivers of heterogeneity in those recommendations.

claimRecommendations for using carbon pricing revenue for the 'reduction of distortionary taxes' are less frequent at global average GDP per capita levels and among economic experts, according to the study 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe'.

claimCopenhagen University provided open access funding for the article "Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe."

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.

claimThe survey conducted in 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' deliberately excluded sub-level implementation questions, such as whether a carbon price is applied to households or industrial firms, to maintain a succinct comparison between carbon tax and cap-and-trade schemes.

claimSupport for specific climate policy revenue usage is lower among experts with an economics publication compared to experts without such a publication, according to the study 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe'.

claimRecommendations for using carbon pricing revenue for 'subsidies for renewable energy' are more frequent at global average GDP per capita levels and are more likely to be supported by non-economists, according to the study 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe'.

measurement467 experts provided responses regarding climate policy design in the survey conducted for 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe'.

procedureThe authors of the study 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' excluded continental variables, mean world governance index, climate change knowledge, and fossil energy use from their analysis to address multicollinearity issues identified via cross-correlations and variance inflation factors.

claimThe study 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' documents strong support among academic experts for the use of carbon taxes and border carbon adjustment as climate policy instruments.

claimThe survey conducted by the authors of 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' focuses on carbon pricing instruments, including sub-types of cap-and-trade and hybrid approaches, but does not analyze non-market instruments.

referenceThe study 'Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe' presents results on climate policy design, while experts' specific carbon price recommendations are analyzed in a companion paper by Drupp et al. (2024).
