A Tax-Based Approach to Slowing Global Climate Change

This paper begins by comparing CO2 taxes and emissions trading from a domestic perspective across a broad range of criteria of potential concern to policy makers. Next the authors briefly discuss some further issues in the practical design of a domestic CO2 tax. Following that the authors turn to issues in implementing CO2 taxes at the global level. The authors then offer some concluding remarks.
