A broad consensus exists that carbon pricing is key for cost-effective emission reductions and that it must play a major role in driving the transition to a climate-neutral economy. However, despite significant progress in wider climate policy uptake in recent years, the vast majority of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions remain unpriced. Making a success of carbon pricing in individual jurisdictions requires a detailed and methodical understanding of their circumstances. The aim of the current report is to develop an analytical framework that contributes to such an understanding, with a view to applying it later to assess carbon pricing potential in several Asian jurisdictions. To this end, an in-depth literature review picks out over 500 relevant papers and reports published between 1975 and 2020. Their findings are used to identify the relevant conditions for the implementation of carbon pricing policies along political legal, economic, technical and regional dimensions, which in turn become the corecomponents of the analytical framework developed to assess carbon pricing readiness. For each component, the literature indicates multiple aspects that can impact carbon pricing potential and suggests variables and indicators for assessing their empirical relevance. The different components are deeply intertwined, as features of an economy can operate through multiple channels simultaneously. At the same time, each individual component of the framework, and each aspect within the components, can contribute valuable information to an empirical assessment of carbon pricing potential.
