1 Natinal Debate n Carbn Pricing Wrkshp #1 Transversal Issues Friday, May 5, 2017 Jhan Eyckmans KU Leuven Faculty f Ecnmics & Business
2 Outline Why shuld we limit carbn emissins? Why carbn pricing as a plicy instrument? Cmplicatins with carbn pricing (and pssible slutins) Taxes (stick) versus subsidies (carrt) Carbn tax at what level? Carbn taxes are regressive Unstable surce f gvernment revenue? Carbn tax part f bigger plicy package Cnclusin and practical prpsal
3 Why shuld we limit carbn emissins?
4 Emissins GHG s = external effect Externality: actins f ecnmic agent have impact n actins f ther agents (withut cmpensating via market) External csts f burning fssil fuels are nt always fully reflected in market prices. Market price < marginal scial cst Resulting in market failure (scial welfare lss) T much pllutin T lw price, and hence t much use, f gds that require plluting input Classical slutins: Emissin standards Internalizing externality in prices via emissin tax (A. Pigu 1930ies) r tradable permits.
5 Negative external effect: graphically 0 p p * p c MC scial MC scial = MC private + MC external Example: MC external Electricity market and externality f fssil fuel technlgies Transprt Agriculture (livestck) MC private (supply) MWTP (demand) Q* 0 Q Q
6 Why carbn pricing as a plicy instrument?
7 Matter f efficiency Hw t distribute reductin effrts? Reductin csts & ptins differ widely amng sectrs, technlgies, cuntries, Static cst efficiency: Intuitively: thse that can reduce emissins at lwer cst shuld bear relatively mre f the effrt Differentiate reductin effrts instead f equal suffering The cheaper yu can reach a target, the mre ambitius yu can be Dynamic cst efficiency: Cntinuus incentive t imprve cmpared t static standards Incentive t invest in R&D
8 Brad cnsensus amng academics Price instruments incentivize efficient allcatin effrt Cst minimizing firms use unique price/tax as cut ff in abatement investment decisins Lw infrmatin cst fr regulatr Many ecnmists advcate carbn pricing, left and right!

12 Cmplicatins with carbn pricing (and pssible slutins)
13 Taxes versus subsidies Relative prices f technlgies matter carbn free versus carbn intensive Why nt use carrt (subsidies) instead f stick (tax)? Subsidizing renewables, electric vehicles, But taxes and subsidies are NOT equivalent: Subsidies implicitly stimulate underlying plluting activity (electric vehicles and mbility, renewable energy and energy efficiency, ) Public finance: taxes yield revenue, subsidies drain public funds (subsidies are paid frm gvernment budget that has been raised by distrtinary, i.e. labur taxes) Plitical feasibility and visibility matters f curse
14 A carbn tax at what level? Pigu: tax shuld equal t marginal external cst Scial Cst f Carbn (SCC): discunted sum f all future damages in all cuntries f the wrld f emitting ne tn f GHG tday taking int accunt uncertainty Very challenging t determine, wide range f estimates: EPA: between 11 & 212$/tn CO 2 & central estimate 39$/tn CO 2 Current market price f CO 2 in EU ETS market? Between 4 and 6 /tn CO 2 last year Implicit tax linked t a cnstraint n emissins? Any emissin target level implies an implicit price f carbn Be pragmatic: Start at the lw side and gradually increase ver time Clse t ETS price aspiratins fr cst efficiency
15 EPA and the scial cst f carbn Highly cntrversial issue in US currently. Ggling EPA scial cst carbn yields: See als
16 Carbn tax is regressive Carbn taxes are regressive Directly: budget share f energy prducts is ften higher fr prer than fr richer husehlds Indirectly: higher csts f gds that are carbn intensive t prduce (cst pass thrugh) But all ther carbn plicies are regressive as well Stricter insulatin standards drive up cst f renting/building
17 Carbn tax is regressive Different cmpensatin schemes are pssible but all face an equity versus efficiency trade ff Ex ante: tax exemptin: prest husehlds d nt pay carbn levy (difficult t manage, stigma, ) Ex pst cmpensatin: Use part f carbn tax revenue t finance transfer r tax rebate (see Metcalf s and Mankiw s prpsals fr US) Use ther part t stimulate ecnmy (labur tax cut, duble dividend) Crucial is nt t dilute the incentive effect t much Preferably lump sum, i.e. nt linked t emissin behaviur Hence, n gasline r gas il cheques!
18 Carbn tax is unreliable surce f gvernment funding Public finance reasn t tax gds & services: Tax gds with lwer elasticity f demand relatively strnger in rder t minimize welfare cst f taxatin (F. Ramsey) Many ther externalities t tackle than climate change Rad cngestin, lcal air pllutin, nise, Different reasns t tax shuld be cumulated Indeed, if tax really starts t change behaviur, tax base is erded and might eventually evaprate Same critique applies als t labur taxes t sme extend And it will take several decades befre revenues fall t zer Effect is mitigated by increasing tax rate ver time
19 Carbn tax part f bigger plicy package Need fr lng term green tax shift: Tax bads, nt gds Remve implicit subsidies n carbn intensive gds/technlgies, tax exemptins, Lng standing OECD recmmendatin fr Belgium See inventry in backgrund dcument f Federal Services Cmpany cars, fuels in agriculture and transprt sectr, heating fuels, Incentives shuld be realligned: Example: huse wner and renter face little incentive t imprve energy efficiency f huse New business mdels based n services might help Energy service cmpanies (ESCO s) Carbn taxes reinfrces ther climate plicies Returns f energy efficiency investment imprves
20 Cnclusin and practical prpsal Big cnsensus amng academic ecnmists: carbn pricing preferred ver ther regulatry instruments Practical prpsal: Start with lw rate (40 /tn CO 2 ) and build up (70 /tn CO 2 ) Lng term cmmitment and time cnsistency crucial! Remve exemptins and hidden carbn subsidies Carbn tax n tp f many ther gd reasns t tax fssil fuels Use x% f carbn tax revenues t sften regressive impact Give ex pst tax rebate f y /year t lwest incme husehlds Use (1-x)% f revenues t lwer labur taxatin Aiming fr duble dividend Crdinate tax plicy n EU level fr sectrs facing strng internatinal cmpetitin Other market failure need t be tackled infrmatin asymmetries,
