- Over the coming decades, the cost of U.S. climate change policy likely will be comparable to the total cost of all existing environmental regulation, perhaps 1/2 percent of national income. The authors present six key policy design issues that will determine the costs, cost-effectiveness, and distributional impacts of domestic climate policy: program scope, cost containment, offsets, revenues and allowance allocation, competitiveness, and R&D policy.
