Global progress and backsliding on gasoline taxes and subsidies (Ross, Hazlett and Mahdavi)

It finds evidence of both progress and backsliding suggesting that global progress towards fossil fuel price reform has been mixed with many governments failing to exploit one of the most cost-effective policy tools for limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
