“…Such a transformation will not come without cost, and economists have been looking at how to reach the targets in the optimal way for a while now. Several studies using numerical models have been carried out in order to analyze the technological and economic cost of Swiss climate targets and to compare different policy options for reaching them (see, e.g., Marcucci and Turton (2012); *Correspondence: adriana.marcucci@sccer-soe.ethz.ch 1 Center of Economic Research, ETH Zurich, Zürichbergstrasse 18, 8092, Zurich, Switzerland Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Sceia et al (2012); Bretschger and Lin (2017); Bretschger et al (2011); Landis et al (2018); Böhringer and Müller (2014); Kannan and Turton (2016); Ecoplan (2012); Prognos (2012)).…”

“…Therefore, we assess the cost of reaching Swiss climate targets for 2050 using different carbon pricing options including economy-wide uniform carbon taxes and tax designs in line with recent 3 See "Switzerland's intended nationally determined contribution (INDC) and clarifying information" by the Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU): https://www.newsd.admin.ch/newsd/message/attachments/38517.pdf 4 The price signal that the uniform carbon tax sends helps distribute emission reductions cost-effectively in economies with undistorted markets and perfect competition. If markets are distorted by pre-existing taxes, deviations from the uniform tax may be in order (Bovenberg and Goulder, 1996;Landis et al, 2018). Böhringer et al (2019) argue that the Swiss emission reduction targets can be reached at significantly lower cost if carbon taxes are increased than by implementing more stringent forms of other currently implemented policies.…”

“…First, we contribute to papers analyzing the efficiency of tax differentiation, and second, we add to analyses on Swiss climate policy. Several papers have analyzed the efficiency of tax differentiation using theoretical and numerical models, see for instance Hoel (1996), Markusen (1975), , Boeters (2014), Landis et al (2018), and Abrell et al (2018). This paper complements these analyses by using a numerical (2019) 155:9 Page 3 of 13 model with endogenous growth that represents the positive impacts from climate policies on the economy driven by the endogenously determined R&D. Different studies using numerical models have evaluated the realization of different carbon reduction goals in Switzerland, see for instance Marcucci and Turton (2012); Sceia et al (2012); Böhringer and Müller (2014); Kannan and Turton (2016); Bretschger and Zhang (2017b); Karydas and Zhang (2017); Landis et al (2018).…”
