Tax Reform and Environmental Policy : Options for Recycling Revenue from a Tax on Carbon Dioxide
Goulder, Lawrence H. - 2013
Carbon taxes are a potential revenue source that could play a key role in major tax reform. This paper employs a numerical general equilibrium model of the United States to evaluate alternative tax reductions that could be financed by the revenues from a carbon tax. We consider a carbon tax that...

Decentralized Emission Standards with Tax Competition
Petchey, Jeffrey D. - 2010
We consider a game between jurisdictions within a national economy. Capital migrates between jurisdictions to satisfy an equal return condition. The total supply of capital to the economy is a non-decreasing function of the national return. This allows us to cater for the case where capital has...

Endogenous Emission Caps Always Induce a Green Paradox
Gerlagh, Reyer - 2019
For any emission trading system (ETS) with quantity-based endogenous supply of allowances, there exists a negative demand shock, e.g. induced by abatement policy, that increases aggregate supply and thus cumulative emissions. We prove this green paradox for a general model and then apply it to...

Adding Quantity Certainty to a Carbon Tax
Hafstead, Marc A. C. - 2016
A concern often raised about a carbon tax is that it does not provide any certainty as to the quantity of emission reductions achieved under the policy. We explore in this Issue Brief how greater emission reduction certainty can be built into a carbon tax. We first define a Tax Adjustment...

Williams, Roberton C. - 2016
This paper examines potential environmental tax policy reforms. It focuses primarily on a carbon tax, but also more briefly considers a range of other possible changes. These include revising or eliminating various energy and environmental tax credits and deductions (many of which might become...
