Award for ECI alumni's working paper on climate regulation
Recent ECI alumni Jiaxian Zhao and Linus Mattauch won the third prize at the biannual German economics prize, awarded by the Joachim Herz foundation. This years' theme of the award was environmental economics and is given for best academic papers for junior scholars.
The research by Zhao and Mattauch takes as a starting point that it is common knowledge in economics that carbon taxes are less costly for achieving climate goals than efficiency standards such as building codes or fuel economy regulation. The paper investigates whether taxes or standards are more equitable.
The paper, which is still under review at a scientific journal, can be downloaded from INET.
