Should a Carbon Tax be Differentiated Across Sectors?

Hoel, Michael - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1994

If some, but not all, countries are cooperating to reduce CO2 emissions, it can be argued that: A high carbon tax on carbon-intensive tradable sectors in the cooperating countries will reduce the production of goods from these sectors, and therefore CO2 emissions, in those countries. This will...

Fiscal Interactions and the Case for Carbon Taxes over Grandfathered Carbon Permits

Parry, Ian - 2003

This paper provides simple formulas for adjusting the costs of carbon taxes and tradable carbon permits to account for interactions with preexisting tax distortions in the labor market. Both policies reduce labor supply as they increase product prices and reduce real household wages; the...

Fiscal Interactions and the Costs of Controlling Pollution from Electricity

Parry, Ian - 2004

This paper quantifies the costs of controlling SO2, carbon, and NOx emissions from power generation, accounting for interactions between environmental policies and the broader fiscal system. We distinguish a dirty technology (coal) that satisfies baseload demand and a clean technology (gas) that...

Environmental Taxes and Economic Welfare: The Welfare Cost of Gasoline Taxation in the U.S. 1959-1999

Kim, Seung-Rae - EconWPA - 2002

The purpose of this paper is to provide reasonable estimates for the welfare cost of environmental tax reform in the U.S. economy. Unlike most previous studies that empirically evaluate the deadweight cost of taxation, the model employed here considers explicitly the joint allocation of leisure...

Optimal Environmental Regulation in the Presence of Other Taxes: A Generalized Second-Best Rule

Kim, Seung-Rae - EconWPA - 2002

This paper is intended as a step toward the development of theoretically founded and operational environmental taxation formula in a second-best world. Recent studies find that environmental taxes typically exacerbate pre-existing tax distortions and, therefore, the optimal pollution tax should...
