How resilient is public support for carbon pricing? Longitudinal evidence from Germany
基于2019至2022年德国三次调查的纵向数据，研究发现公众对碳定价的支持随时间高度稳定，但高能源成本人群支持下降；收入用途方面，社会缓冲措施更受欢迎，绿色支出支持减弱。
The success of climate policies depends crucially on the dynamics of public support. Using unique longitudinal data from three surveys conducted between 2019 and 2022, we study the variations of public support for carbon pricing and revenue use in Germany. Using panel methods, we show that support is very persistent over time. However, people who incur high energy cost decrease their support. Regarding revenue use, we find that social cushioning has become more popular over time, while support for green spending has decreased. Our findings suggest that it is crucial to adapt climate policies in response to increased energy costs.
