This paper analyses the costs and benefits of a fiscal reform designed to simultaneously increase environmental quality and employment. The investigation is carried out using an econometric general equilibrium model in which the labour market is unionised and segmented, i.e. in which demand,...

We consider a global externality of resource use, with the example of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. A region concerned about climate change may reduce its fuel deposit offer, reduce fuel consumption, and withdraw investments into global fuel extraction. We study leakage rates and...

This paper shows that the output losses from energy taxes are significantly larger than usually computed when due account is taken of imperfect competition among energy using firms. Even with perfect competition among these firms, the loss in GNP is of the same order of magnitude as the revenue...

This draft book chapter describes carbon taxes and reviews the literature surrounding the efficacy and economic impacts of carbon taxation. A carbon tax is a unitary tax on a fossil fuel or other carbon-containing substance that is levied on the basis of carbon content. While it remains...

The paper is a general equilibrium analysis of an energy tax reform in a federation. It gives us a tool to measure the welfare effects and the vertical tax externalities of the tax reform. Vertical tax externalities may arise when two government levels impose taxes on common tax bases. We show...
