Chapter Abstract:
With worldwide emissions of carbon dioxide contributing to global warming, countries are looking for ways to lower local emissions. One strategy for reducing carbon emissions is through national carbon taxes. These taxes vary both in terms of amount of the tax and industries included in the tax. With the first carbon taxes imposed thirty years ago, it is possible to assess effectiveness and challenges associated with carbon taxes.
