Last summer, in advance of Australia’s monumental September 7 elections that served as a repudiation of Australia’s carbon tax, IER published a key study by Dr. Alex Robson on the history and impact of the tax. Robson’s critique of Australia’s carbon tax was particularly relevant for the US policy debate, because he showed none of the promised benefits of a carbon (such as a more efficient tax and regulatory code, or “policy certainty”) actually happened in Australia. We are very pleased to report that a version of Robson’s study has now been through the academic peer-review process, and has been published in the February 2014 issue of Economic Affairs.
