本論文は、炭素税の受容性に再分配が与える影響を、スイスの代表性サンプル800人を用いたコンジョイント実験で検証。既存の炭素税政策を考慮すると、再分配は平均的に受容性向上に寄与せず、累進的再分配は左派層で効果的だが、政策の現状維持バイアスが強いことを明らかにした。炭素税の設計・コミュニケーションに重要。
English
This study examines how redistribution affects carbon tax acceptability using a conjoint experiment with 800 Swiss respondents. It finds that redistribution does not increase acceptability on average; progressive redistribution helps among left-leaning citizens but only when informed about existing policy. A strong status quo bias reduces acceptability of alternatives. Implications for carbon pricing design and communication.

日本のGX文脈において
日本の炭素税導入議論（環境税・地球温暖化対策税）において、既存政策の枠組みが国民の受容性に与える影響は重要。本知見は、炭素税の再分配設計とそのコミュニケーションに直接示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper adds nuance to global carbon pricing debates by showing that redistribution's effect on acceptability is contingent on existing policy baselines. For countries considering carbon taxes (e.g., Japan, US), it highlights the importance of policy context and status quo bias in designing and communicating reform.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides experimental evidence on how baseline policies moderate the effect of redistribution on carbon tax acceptability.
🏢実務担当者:Insights for designing carbon tax communication strategies that account for existing policy and status quo bias.
🏛政策担当者:Key takeaway: redistribution may not boost acceptability unless framed relative to current policy, and progressive redistribution targeted at left-leaning groups can be effective.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Carbon taxes are effective instruments for reducing greenhouse gas emissions; however, public acceptance remains a significant obstacle. Redistributing tax revenues back to the population is often proposed as a means of increasing the perceived fairness of distributional outcomes and, by extension, acceptability. However, recent evidence suggests that the effect of redistribution on acceptability is modest. This letter contributes to the literature by arguing that existing carbon tax policies alter how people react to redistributive features. We draw on data from a conjoint experiment with 800 respondents from a representative sample of the Swiss population. Respondents were randomly exposed to evaluating alternative carbon tax policies relative to the existing Swiss carbon tax, a redistribution treatment focusing on societal fairness, or a combination of both. The results show that redistribution does not, on average, lead to higher acceptability of carbon taxes. Progressive redistributive schemes are more favourable once respondents are informed about the existing carbon tax, particularly among left-leaning citizens, but this effect is conditional on specific carbon tax policies. Moreover, we detect a strong entrenchment effect of preferring the status quo, substantially reducing the acceptability of alternative carbon tax policies. These findings suggest that carbon tax acceptability is shaped less by redistributive features than by how new policy designs are evaluated relative to policy baselines, with important implications for the design and communication of future carbon pricing reforms.
