Introduction:
Carbon pricing has become a key policy tool in the fight against climate change, aiming to internalize the external costs of carbon emissions into investment decisions. As a result, the impact of carbon pricing on investment decisions has become a topic of increasing interest among policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders. This thesis aims to explore the effects of carbon pricing on investment decisions, with a focus on the energy sector.
