DISTRIBUTIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF A NATIONAL CO TAX IN THE U.S. ACROSS INCOME CLASSES AND REGIONS: A MULTI-MODEL OVERVIEW.

This paper presents a multi-model assessment of the distributional impacts of carbon pricing. A set of harmonized representative CO taxes and tax revenue recycling schemes is implemented in five large-scale economy-wide general equilibrium models. Recycling schemes include various combinations of uniform transfers to households and labor and capital income tax reductions.

Isolation of saprophytic Cryptococcus neoformans.
