  From Centre d’analyse stratégique, La note de veille, #127, Mars 2009
"A growing number of economists, particularly from the academic world (W. Nordhaus, P. Samuelson, J. Stiglitz, P. Krugman, P. Volcker, L. Summers, G. Mankiw, S. Stoft) have defended the use a carbon tax as an instrument which is both efficient and equitable." Also, the final section (p. 5) is "An original proposal by Steven Stoft," and describes Part 4, Global Policy, of Carbonomics.
Review in Foreign Affairs
[Carbonomics] offers a clear and cogent argument for why a carbon tax—or, rather, a carbon untax—is likely to be greatly superior to a cap-and-trade system.
