In their analysis, the revenue associated with a $25 per ton tax is redistributed via a decrease in taxes on wages. Brill and Ganz emphasize that the predicted disparity in economic outcomes that drives Republican opposition to a carbon tax is not supported by the data. Instead, Brill and Ganz project that most counties would experience a small net change in per capita income. Further, many Republican-leaning counties gain from the policy, particularly when the social cost of carbon emissions is taken into account. Coastal counties in the Southeast especially stand to benefit from the policy.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESee Ganz\u0026rsquo;s on Real Clear Policy here:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.realclearpolicy.com\/articles\/2018\/01\/29\/the_partisan_divide_over_the_carbon_tax_is_all_smoke.html\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/www.realclearpolicy.com\/articles\/2018\/01\/29\/the_partisan_divide_over_the_carbon_tax_is_all_smoke.html\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Scott Ganz examines Republican resistance to a carbon tax."}],"uid":"34652","created_gmt":"2018-02-07 17:54:32","changed_gmt":"2018-02-14 16:59:00","author":"isaunders3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2018-02-14T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2018-02-14T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"563261":{"id":"563261","type":"image","title":"Scott Ganz","body":null,"created":"1471362057","gmt_created":"2016-08-16 15:40:57","changed":"1475895367","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:56:07","alt":"Scott Ganz","file":{"fid":"206819","name":"scott-ganz.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/scott-ganz.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/scott-ganz.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":31907,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/scott-ganz.jpg?itok=Eevph5HJ"}}},"media_ids":["563261"],"groups":[{"id":"1289","name":"School of Public Policy"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"174675","name":"carbon tax"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"},{"id":"39511","name":"Public Service, Leadership, and Policy"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EScott Ganz\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAssistant Professor\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDM Smith G06\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:scott.ganz@pubpolicy.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Escott.ganz@pubpolicy.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404.385.4257\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["scott.ganz@pubpolicy.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
