What the paper says

This paper discusses the seemingly contradicting implications of the carbon dividend concept and the double dividend idea for the use of revenue from carbon pricing. We provide an introduction to a number of key contributions to this debate in the literature and explain how their findings and results can be reconciled. Some existing studies on the effects of revenue recycling through the carbon tax may be too optimistic regarding the impact because they neglect the interaction between the carbon dividend, labour supply, and the rest of the tax system.
