Policy Nerd E09 - Put carbon dividend at the core of post-COVID reboot, pt.2: Carbon dividend as UBI


Language: English

This is a three-part podcast to connect the dots between carbon tax, carbon dividend, and universal basic income (UBI). It discusses emerging ideas and asks how we should be equity-weighting green policies in this recovery.
Our expert is Anders Fremstad, Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at Colorado State University

Interest in UBI is on the rise. Carbon dividends are debated as an option of financing such schemes. Part 2 digs deeper into:

• If/why carbon dividends can be used as UBI.
• Key pitfalls of solely relying on carbon dividends to fund substantive and sustained UBI.
• Ideas for hybrid financing of UBI – carbon dividends and beyond.
