“…The research on the emission reduction effect of specific taxes mainly focuses on carbon taxes and energy taxes. Siriwardena et al proved that carbon taxes in Sri Lanka in the electricity sector cause a visible reduction [36]. Orlov et al found in their study that carbon tax can reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Russia's macroeconomic sector [37].…”

Under the background that environmental tax has increasingly become the main means of environmental governance in various countries, it is particularly important to study the effect of environmental tax on reducing pollutants and then put forward suggestions for building a scientific and rational environmental tax system. The novelty of this paper is the investigation of the pollutant emission reduction effects of environmental taxes in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries and Chinese provinces at the same time, and further comparison of the pollutant emission reduction effects of environmental taxes in OECD and China under different environmental tax collection scales, industrial added value levels, and economic development conditions based on Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag Modelling Approach (ARDL). The data are derived from environmental taxes and pollutants of OECD countries from 1994 to 2016 and Chinese provinces from 2004 to 2016. The results show that from the overall regression results, environmental taxes really help to reduce pollutant emissions, both in OECD countries and China. From the grouping regression results, the OECD countries and Chinese inland provinces with small-scale or medium-level of environmental tax revenue and higher level of economic growth all show better emission reduction effects, while OECD countries with low industrial added value and Chinese inland provinces with high industrial added value have more significant effects on pollutant emission reduction via environmental taxes.

“…Actually, Siriwardena et al [31] and Sijm et al [32] document that the rise of the carbon tax (or carbon price) could lead to an increase in the equilibrium power price. The study by Siriwardena et al [31] takes Sri Lanka as an example, and states that the electricity price rises by 10-15% at the carbon tax level of $50 (USD)/t. The study by Sijm et al [32] points out that electricity price in Germany and the Netherlands grows by 50%-60% when the carbon price stays at €20 (EUR)/t.…”

“…Reference [13] study is based on national planning and development department by the input-output tables, using the input-output decomposition technique analyze four aspects of measures to reduce the effect of carbon equivalent, which is four: fuel mix effect (due to a change in the emissions of fuel mix changes), structural effect (no carbon tax and carbon tax case, changes in emissions), the impact of final demand (final demand change on the impact of changes in emissions), Combined (mixed fuel, structure and final demand of these three aspects of the interaction effect). Out the final conclusion is: when the carbon tax is $50/tC, the energy tax is $ 1.0/MBtu, you can control carbon emissions.…”

The purpose of the research is that China develops low-carbon economy and strengthens low-carbon economy research by learning other countries experiences, which literatures in the papers introduced. The principal results of the paper is that the paper done up right literatures review of carbon finance and low carbon economy. The major contribution is that the paper finds that China is facing the challenges of the global carbon finance problem and the lack of its pricing power. The conclusions is that we need to increase our academic research on carbon finance to solve China's lagging in carbon finance construction and knows how to construct development system.
