Examination of the Carbon Fee Alternative for the State of California
June 2011 - by Brian C. Murray, Jan V. Mazurek, and Timothy H. Profeta
The California Air Resources Board (ARB), as a result of a recent court decision, is required to provide information about a carbon fee as one of several alternatives to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Other alternatives include direct regulation of facilities, cap and trade, and a mix of sectoral strategies. This paper examines the carbon fee as an option for controlling greenhouse gases and compares it to other regulatory alternatives, such as the cap-and-trade approach ARB initially decided to take.

Design Principles of a Cap and Trade System for Greenhouse Gases
June 2005 - by Tim Profeta and Brigham Daniels
No environmental challenge is more intertwined with our way of life than global climate change. Fundamentally, processes that produce greenhouse gases sustain our economy. Most of the nergy sources we rely upon release substantial amounts of greenhouse gases. Other major sectors of our economy, such as the agricultural and forestry sectors, control the ebb and flow of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere through their ability to store carbon in organic forms.
