learn.whatIsHeading
Carbon tax estimates the cost of greenhouse gas emissions under a price-per-ton-CO₂ policy. It values environmental externalities.
公式
Carbon tax = emissions (tonnes CO₂e) × tax rate ($/tonne)
分步指南
- 1Carbon tax = emissions (tonnes CO₂e) × tax rate ($/tonne)
- 2Rates vary: $0-200/tonne CO₂e globally, ~$10-60 typical
- 3Encourages emission reduction and clean technology adoption
例题解析
输入
Annual emissions 5 tonnes CO₂e, carbon tax $50/tonne
结果
Annual tax $250 (incentivizes reduction)
Makes clean energy attractive
常见错误注意事项
- ✕Assuming carbon tax alone solves climate change (needs multiple policies)
- ✕Neglecting regressive impact on low-income households
