Should carbon tax be differentiated across sectors?

Article Abstract:

Carbon tax should be equal for all fossil-fuel users in countries cooperating to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as long as these countries are allowed to use import and export tariffs on all carbon-intensive goods traded. If not, carbon tax should be differentiated across different sectors in the economy. Merely imposing a high carbon tax in cooperating countries would simply shift the production of carbon-intensive goods to countries that have no climate policy.
