Workshop | The Economics of inequality and the environment
About the workshop
Environmental policy and inequality are intertwined. Inequality shapes how environmental damages and benefits are valued and who supports which policies. In turn, the degradation of environmental services, and policies to address these issues, have significant distributional consequences. This workshop invites theoretical, empirical, and policy-oriented papers that advance our understanding of these links.
Themes & topics
- Distributional effects of environmental policies (taxes, ETS, standards), including revenue recycling/compensation
- Environmental justice and inequality (income, gender, ethnicity): unequal exposure to pollution and climate risks
- Political economy of inequality and the environment: how inequality shapes policy appraisal, support, and adoption
- The green transition’s winners and losers: labour-market and regional impacts of decarbonisation
