Abstract

Key messages: - Size of government is studied as a new country-level contextual factor determining citizen support for climate policy. - Larger size-of-government is associated with lower climate policy support. - GDP-per-capita and emissions are positively associated with policy support. - High-tax countries have an aversion to environmental tax increases.
