Does The Indexing Of Government Transfers Make Carbon Pricing Progressive?, Don Fullerton, Garth Heutel, Gilbert Metcalf Nov 2012

Does The Indexing Of Government Transfers Make Carbon Pricing Progressive?, Don Fullerton, Garth Heutel, Gilbert Metcalf

Don Fullerton

We analyze both the uses side and the sources side incidence of domestic climate policy using an analytical general equilibrium model, taking into account the degree of government program indexing. When transfer programs such as Social Security are explicitly indexed to inflation, higher energy prices automatically lead to cost-of-living adjustments for recipients. We show results with no indexing, 100 percent indexing, and partial indexing based on our analysis of actual transfer programs. When households are classified by annual income, the indexing of U.S. transfers is not enough to offset the regressive uses side, but when they are classified by annual …

Introduction And Summary, Don Fullerton, Catherine Wolfram

While economic models have already proven useful to analyze big picture questions about climate policy such as the choice between a carbon tax or cap-and-trade permit system, the 19 chapters in this book show how economic models also are useful to address the many remaining smaller questions that arise as policy is implemented. For example, chapters consider: the tradeoffs policymakers confront in deciding whether to implement the policy upstream on energy producers or downstream on energy users; how to monitor and enforce climate policy; how Federal actions might interact with climate policies at other levels of government or with other …
