The impact of carbon pricing on tourist destinations: Shifts in demand, supply and emissions in the European aviation market

This paper provides novel evidence of the impact of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) as applied to the aviation sector on tourist destinations. We use annual data at the route level for the period 2010–2022 and consider a sample comprising a large set of European cities of origin...
