Due to the pandemic, governments around the world are reflecting on where policy should be going next, and climate change is a key item on the agenda. However, climate policies like the carbon tax increase the price of energy, which can particularly hurt low income people. Economist Adrien Fabre joins Ioana on to discuss his publication with Thomas Douenne investigating the support for the carbon tax among French people shortly after the Yellow Vests protests against gas tax increases.

Adrien Fabre is currently a post-doctoral fellow at ETH Zurich, and you can follow him on Twitter at @adrien_fabre. You can read his paper in the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy: https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/pol.20200092
