Secondary objectives:
- How should environmental policy instruments be designed to avoid increased unemployment during the transition?
- Are there combinations of policy instruments that can obtain cost efficient emission reductions and maintain overall employment?
- How will the replacement of free emissions allowances and compensation for high electricity prices with carbon tariffs affect EITE industries?
- How does combining current support schemes with a consumption tax on emission intensive and trade exposed (EITE) goods compare to carbon tariffs?
- Which environmental policy instruments are best suited to achieve phasing out of existing emission-intensive production capacity and investment in cleaner alternatives? Are there cases where a combination of instruments is appropriate?

Project description
Main objective: Investigate environmental policy instruments for facilitating the green transition, given long-lived capital, labor market dynamics and capacity constraints.Secondary objectives:
- How should environmental policy instruments be designed to avoid increased unemployment during the transition?
- Are there combinations of policy instruments that can obtain cost efficient emission reductions and maintain overall employment?
- How will the replacement of free emissions allowances and compensation for high electricity prices with carbon tariffs affect EITE industries?
- How does combining current support schemes with a consumption tax on emission intensive and trade exposed (EITE) goods compare to carbon tariffs?
- Which environmental policy instruments are best suited to achieve phasing out of existing emission-intensive production capacity and investment in cleaner alternatives? Are there cases where a combination of instruments is appropriate?
