The Inequality-Emission Dilemma: Predistribution vs. Redistribution 1: Université Paris Cité, France; 2: University Roma Tre, Italy; 3: LADYSS, France; 4: Chaire Énergie et Prosperité, France; 5: Rennes2 University, France; 6: LiRIS, France; 7: SEEDS, Italy This study investigates the relationship between different types of within-country inequality reduction and CO2 emissions using panel data in 156 countries from1995 to 2020. Using fixed effects panel and quantile regression techniques, we report estimates that indicate that predistribution (gross inequality reduction) increases carbon emissions less than redistribution (net inequality reduction). Moreover, we differentiate between the effect of predistribution and redistribution on production-based and consumption-based emissions. Countries that produce more carbon-intensive products than they consume and low emitting countries face the highest trade-off between predistribution and decarbonization. By contrast, reduction in inequality through predistribution does not affect per capita consumption-based CO2 emissions among the highest emitting countries. These findings call for international cooperation and public policies aimed at a more equitable primary income distribution to achieve joint inequality and carbon emission reduction. | |
