“…Regarding whether ETs have beneficial impacts on advancing green technology, enhancing energy efficiency, and producing a cleaner environment, the academic community has not yet come to a consensus (Fang et al 2022). Green taxes, according to some academics, may aid in achieving more Environmentaly friendly aims (Mardones and Mena 2020;Wang et al 2022a, b). For instance, its adoption has improved the quality of green investments, renewable energy investments, and the competitiveness of renewable energy technologies (Ahmed et al 2022a;Lambertini et al 2020;Yang et al 2020;Wesseh and Lin 2019).…”

The main cause of environmental degradation is carbon emissions, which puts environmental sustainability in jeopardy. This ecological worry, the obligation for which falls on all economic actors, has not gone undetected, and so in 2021, the Glasgow Climate Pact (COP: 26) was organized, with the primary aim of decreasing global carbon emissions. Because the Post-Glasgow Agreement goals represent a significant challenge to achieving ecological responsibility, pressure is applied to the participating nations. However, earlier literature lacked sufficient investigation of factors useful for the mitigation of carbon emissions in E7 (China, Turkey, India, Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, and Mexico) economies. Hence, we aim to fill this research vacuum by predicting the impact of clean fuels and cooking technology availability, renewable energy, and environmental taxes on E7 economies’ carbon emissions from 2000 to 2020, while taking urbanization and population expansion into account. Evaluation is done using four different cross-sectional dependence (CSD) methods, as well as unit root tests (CIPS and CADF), cointegration analysis (Westerlund and Kao), and the Driscoll-Kraay and quantile-on-quantile long-run factor estimate methods. The long-run analysis revealed from our findings that environmental tax, renewable energy, and access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking decrease carbon emission for the E7 economies. On the other hand, urbanization and population growth enhance emissions for the E7 economies. Finally, our results hold up under a variety of policy interpretations that would aid in reducing carbon emissions and their negative effects on the environment.

“…The fairness of carbon taxes is another topic of discussion because they could exacerbate social inequality and cause greater problems with inclusivity (Bourgeois et al, 2021;Sommer et al, 2022). In addition, raising carbon taxes could slow economic expansion and raise poverty levels (Mardones & Mena, 2020). However, as Dogan et al (2022) show in a recent analysis, environmental taxation has a moderating effect on carbon emissions in the case of industrialised nations, giving green technology a competitive edge and raising taxes on the operational expenses of dirty ones.…”

This study aims to investigate the relationship between renewable energy and ecological footprint during the period of 1994-2018 from selected developing countries in Europe (Czechia, Croatia, Poland, Romania, Romania, and Turkey). In this context, the ecological footprint (EF), which has recently been the most widely used environmental indicator in the literature and is known as the most comprehensive because it includes many environmental factors, has been determined as the dependent variable. As independent variables, renewable energy consumption (REC), energy-related tax revenue (ETR), and energy productivity (EP) are included in the model. GDP and development of environment-related technologies (DET), which affect the ecological footprint in the model, are determined as control variables. As a result of the panel data analysis, according to the Durbin-Hausman cointegration test result, a longterm relationship between the variables was determined. According to the CCE estimator analysis, it can be said that there is a positive relationship between ETR and GDP variables and EF. For the AMG estimator analysis, it can be said that there is a positive relationship between GDP and EP variables and EF. Finally, according to the results of the Konya Causality test, a unidirectional causality relationship is detected from environmental technologies to the ecological footprint in Turkey, and a unidirectional causality relationship from the ecological footprint to GDP in Czechia, Romania, and Turkey. Furthermore, no causality relationship is detected between other variables. Based on the results, several policy implications are suggested.

“…Moreover the government need to revise the incremental tax system so that wealthier groups pay more tax than before. In addition, developing the tax system to carbon (CO 2 ) taxes (Coxhead, Wattanakuljarus, and Nguyen 2013;Mardones and Mena 2020) could help combat income inequality and protect the environment. States with this kind of tax can pursue two major goals of reducing poverty and environmental pollution, which are ongoing challenges in many countries.…”

The main objective of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy is inflation targeting; however, it may be associated with the recently increased income disparity in Japan. Using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) estimation model, this study conducted in the context of an aging society revealed that the bank's monetary policy increased income inequality through increased financial asset prices, resulting in a widening of the income gap. We also find that in the long run, the aging population will increase income disparity in Japan; however, tax policy will partially mitigate the adverse effect on income inequality. Unconventional monetary policy will not bring a desirable result for the Japanese economy and the nation as a whole. In addition, the government needs to revise the incremental tax system so that wealthier groups pay more tax than before. In addition, expanding the tax system by adopting the carbon taxation scheme would be beneficial. The government with this kind of tax can pursue two major goals: reducing poverty and environmental pollution, which are ongoing challenges in Japan.
