balancing mechanisms in logistics such as the trade-off between transport and
inventory costs, and empirically difficult questions such as decision dynamics,
should be prioritized for research. Secondly, from a policy perspective, the level of
carbon prices necessary to push emissions in the system downward are an order of
magnitude higher than the current market prices. For policy makers, this suggests
that attention is needed for the public acceptability of effective carbon taxes, or other
non-fiscal measures aimed at an equivalent impact. Thirdly, as logistics decisions are
multi-faceted and supply chains include many companies, the impact chain between
tax measures and emission volumes is long. This implies that the ultimate impact on
consumers of carbon taxes can be small, while the added effect of emission savings
is expected to be relatively large.
