“…However, some recent studies suggest that popular support depends strongly on the political context. One experimental study finds that providing respondents with information about their actual rebates in Canada and Switzerland does not significantly increase support for existing carbon taxes in those countries [36]. This study fills that gap in the experimental literature by examining how rebates shape public support in both abstract as well as politicized contexts.…”

“…At the EU level, high energy and emission allowance prices have sparked heated debates over both price management in the ETS (Khan, 2021;Morawiecki, 2022) as well as the Fit-for-55 package more generally (van Gaal, 2021). There is an emerging debate on whether redistributing the revenues raised by carbon pricing increases support for this instrument (Mildenberger et al, 2022;Sommer et al, 2022).…”

“…Related evidence backs the hypothesis that ideology matters in policy-formulation processes. First, specific forms of energy production tend to have a clear "political home," as do specific climate policy instruments (Kulin et al, 2021;Mildenberger et al, 2022;Ziegler, 2017). In the climate-cum-energy realm, three ideologically different transition strategies have been identified: state-centred, market-centred, and grassroots-centred (Thonig et al, 2020).…”

“…3) We examine whether and how attitudes to subsidy removal and carbon taxation may differ from each other. 4) We compare attitudes to removal of subsidies on private consumption of fossil fuels and fossil fuels for industrial use, and nally, 5) we study whether policies that reallocate money spent on fossil fuel subsidies to investments that increase social and economic welfare system, lead to more positive attitudes to subsidy removal (see 12,15,16 ). At the outset, we report that optimal use of savings from subsidy removal has positive effects on public attitudes.…”

“…21,22 ), and that public acceptance of removing fossil fuel subsidies for private consumption is lower than the public acceptance of removing fossil fuel subsidies for industrial use. Moreover, a growing body of research concludes that negative attitudes to price-based climate policy tools can be alleviated through policy design, in particular revenue recycling where a price increase is combined with a speci ed use of the available public funds ( 12,16 , but see 15 ). Even though research is somewhat inconclusive concerning the attitudinal effects of different forms of revenue recycling (e.g., fee-and-dividend solutions, increased investments in welfare systems (e.g.…”
