Challenges the conventional wisdom that gasoline taxation, an important instrument of climate policy, has a disproportionately detrimental effect on poor people. This book states that while there may be some slight regressivity in some high-income countries, as a general rule, fuel taxation is a progressive policy in low income countries. First Published in 2011. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
