This paper is concerned with the analysis of environmental tax reforms within the framework of a dynamic computable general equilibrium model. The main policy option to be considered consists of using the revenues from CO2 taxation to partially finance the pension system. It is shown that CO2...

We examine the use of dynamic overlapping generations (OLG) computable general equilibrium (CGE) models to analyze the economic effects of tax reforms, using as a paradigm our DiamondZodrow (DZ) model. Such models are especially well-suited to analyzing both the short-run transitional and the...

We study a set of tax reforms introducing a budget-neutral tax shift in Italy, from labour income to consumption taxes. To this end we use a microsimulation model to provide the output with which to estimate the parameters of tax functions in an overlapping-generations computable general...
