Policy Analyses
Because the goals, mechanisms, and operation of U.S. climate change policy remain in flux, it is important to understand the impact of proposals and to identify the tradeoffs inherent in different policy approaches. The Brattle Group analyzes the relative merits of policy approaches and helps formulate positions that are consistent with achieving significant progress on greenhouse gas emission reductions. For example:
- For a major electric utility, The Brattle Group analyzed the relative advantages of cap-and-trade emission approaches and CO2 fees, leading the utility to advocate for a fee-based system.
- For fossil fuel producers, we analyzed policies that would couple CO2 and energy tax mechanisms with critical research, development, and demonstration of funding needs to accelerate technology improvements.
