The paper studies the impact of Environmental Tax (Etax), GDP, and air-pollution effects (APE) on the GFCF of EU-16 countries by taking the annual data from 1991-2020 through second-generation panel data analysis. All the variables are crosssectionally dependent, differenced stationary, and...

This paper examines the effects of health-oriented food tax reforms on the distribution of tax payments, food demand and health outcomes. Unlike earlier work, we also take into account the uncertainty related to both demand estimation and health estimates and report the confidence intervals for...

The present study provides estimates of the Effective Marginal Tax Rates (EMTRs) for a sample of 17 OECD countries and 11 manufacturing sectors in a single framework encompassing capital, labour and energy taxes. Our cross-country/cross-sector approach allows us comparing the incentives provided...
