The World Bank expects over 90% of countries to be in recession in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Advanced economies will shrink by 7%, and developing economies by 2.5%. An additional 100 million people around the globe will fall into extreme poverty because of the virus. Some developing markets will face sovereign debt crises as they struggle to contain the economic fallout.

As the global economic outlook deteriorates, the World Bank, other multinationals, and central banks around the world continue to debate the most effective policy responses to combat the global health and economic crises.

Policymakers often express concern about the impact of carbon taxes on employment and GDP. Focusing on European countries that have implemented carbon taxes over the past thirty years, the speaker estimates the macroeconomic impacts of these taxes on GDP and employment growth rates for various specifications and samples. His point estimates suggest a zero to modest positive impact on GDP and total employment growth rates. More importantly, he finds no robust evidence of a negative effect of the tax on employment or GDP growth.
