Consequences of a Higher Carbon Price in the EU — Who Will Win, Who Will Lose?

Abstract If the EU is to achieve its ambitious climate protection targets, prices for greenhouse gas emissions will rise noticeably in the next few years. This has economic implications not only for the EU member countries, but also for the rest of the world. This article presents the results of sim...
