Jochen M. Schmittmann The Financial Impact of Carbon Taxation on Corporates: Japan, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2023) accessed November 21, 2024

Summary

Japan’s commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 will likely require substantial carbon pricing. Corporates appear to be able to absorb a sharp increase in carbon taxes on average, but there is a substantial weak tail of firms that could face financial stress. The analysis underscores the need to align the private sector and public policies with Japan’s climate targets to ensure a smooth transition to net zero.
