据估计，每吨碳大约102美元的税收是实现里约碳排放目标所必需的水平。成本推动模拟显示，消费者支出是受税收影响最大的需求类别（价格上涨2.0- 2.4%），商业运输是受影响最大的生产部门（2.2- 2.6%）。微观模拟计算出的税收平均发生率为每年每个家庭552美元至657美元，适度回归的结果是：收入最低的五分之一的可消费收入下降比收入最高的五分之一高1.1%至1.2%。低收入已婚夫妇是受税收影响最严重的家庭类型。
It is estimated that a tax of roughly $102 per ton of carbon is the level necessary to meet the Rio target for carbon emissions. Cost-push simulations show consumers expenditure to be the category of demand most affected by the tax (prices increase by 2.0-2.4 percent), and commercial transportation the most affected production sector (2.2-2.6 percent). Micro-simulations calculate the average incidence of the tax to range from $552 to $657 per family per year, with moderately regressive results: decreases in consumable income for the lowest income quintile are from 1.1 to 1.2 percent higher than for the highest. Low income married couples are the family type most heavily affected by the tax.
