Tax Policy to Combat Global Warming : On Designing a Carbon Tax

Poterba, James M. - 1991

This paper develops several points concerning the design and implementation of a carbon tax. First, if implemented without any offsetting changes in transfer programs, the carbon tax would be regressive. This regressivity could be offset with changes in either the direct tax system or transfers....

Revenue-Raising vs. Other Approaches to Environmental Protection : The Critical Significance of Pre-Existing Tax Distortions

Goulder, Lawrence H.; Parry, Ian W. H.; Burtraw, Dallas - 1998

Using analytical and numerical general equilibrium models, we show that pre-existing factor taxes produce a "tax-interaction effect" that substantially increases the costs of pollution taxes and quotas. Under policies that raise revenue and recycle it through cuts in marginal factor tax rates,...
