“…Other studies examine specific policies, such as the long-term impact of an emissions trading scheme in Australia 45 , the existing broad set of environmental taxes in Denmark 21 , the consequences of the EU energy package for Finland 46 , or renewable energy subsidies in Germany [47][48][49][50][51] . Similarly as in the case of carbon taxation, regressive distributional effects are reported in the studies and revenue recycling is found to be able to mitigate these effects.…”

Social Implications of Green Growth Policies from the Perspective of Energy Sector Reform and its Impact on Households Andreas Löschel University of Münster February 2015 This paper is also available as: OECD Issue Note -Social Implications of Green Growth Policies from the Perspective of Energy Sector Reform and its Impact on Households-AbstractThis paper reviews the literature on distributional effects of energy and carbon taxation with focus on microsimulation models. Most studies find that direct energy and carbon taxation tends to be regressive. Regressive effects occur mostly with respect to taxation of electricity or space heating. Taxation of transportation fuels show less regressive, neutral, or even progressive effects. Adequate revenue recycling often allows for neutralisation or full elimination of regressive effects so that energy and carbon tax reforms can be progressive. Some studies find evidence for the existence of a double dividend. There seems to be an efficiency-equity trade-off in revenue recycling, i.e. whether to foster growth or to assist low-income households. While a large number of studies on advanced economies are available, there clearly is a gap with regard to evidence for developing countries. Another gap relates to the lack of documentation on the challenges of incorporating macroeconomic models and long-term modelling perspectives in microsimulation. Both aspects can be of great importance with respect to the design of green growth policies. Thoughtful incorporation of social considerations, including aspects of poverty in modelling approaches could enhance the existing instruments of exante policy assessments since poverty is a tangible concept which is well-known, understandable, and openly observable for citizens and policy makers.

“…Hierdurch entstehen erhebliche Kosten, die von den Stromverbrauchern zu tragen sind. Diese Kosten sind seit dem Jahr 2000, in dem das Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz Vielmehr spielt auch eine wichtige Rolle, dass von Strompreissteigerungen einkommensschwache Haushalte verhältnismäßig stärker betroffen sind als einkommensstarke Haushalte (Bardt und Niehues, 2013;Grösche und Schröder, 2014;Heindl et al, 2014).…”

“…Social justice was a founding principle of sustainable development (WCED 1987) and recent empirical research has proven the appreciation people in different countries show for an equitable approach to climate policy (Schleich et al 2014). In addition, current energy transformation debates have raised questions on a fair burden sharing, especially because even an efficient policy mix is expected to increase overall costs (Heindl et al 2014).…”
