Carbon pricing is used to reduce carbon emissions and incentivize the use of climate-friendly technologies. While the policy can be an effective tool to support the green transition, it may also affect households and economies in unequal ways.

The seminar is held in English and is part of the IIES/SNS International Policy Talks, a collaboration between SNS and the Institute for International Economics (IIES) at Stockholm University. The seminar series aims to create a forum where internationally renowned economists discuss the latest research with leading experts and decision-makers.
