“…Early attempts in this direction include simulations of carbon taxation with static singlecountry models (Bussolo and Pinelli (2001), Edwards (1996Edwards ( , 1998, Harrison and Kriström (1998), Pench (1998Pench ( , 2001, Stampini (2001)), while dynamic and multi-country models have appeared more recently (Jensen (1998), Springer (1998), Rutherford, Böhringer andPahlke (1998), Pench (1999), Böhringer (1998Böhringer ( , 1999, Böhringer, Jespen and Rutherford (2000)). 4 In this context, it is often necessary to depart from the standard assumptions of fixed endowments, closed economy and perfectly competitive markets.…”

Climate Change Policies and Tax Recycling Schemes: Simulations with a Dynamic General Equilibrium Model of the Italian Economy

A dynamic general equilibrium model of the Italian economy is used to assess the impact of carbon taxation (or auctioned carbon permits), where additional revenue is used to cut either existing taxes on labor or on capital income. Simulation results do not support the existence of the so-called "double dividend" when labor taxes are reduced, whereas lower tax rates on capital have mild positive effects on growth and welfare, with progressivity properties on income distribution. These findings hinge on the assumptions of open economy, given world interest rate, and capital mobility.

SummaryThis article provides an overview of specific and systemic applications of energy taxes and environmental (or green) tax reforms. To do so it combines a theoretical and empirical assessment of the literature, with a non-exhaustive description of the practice of these instruments and packages in the real world. Besides yielding a comprehensive approximation to the specific and systemic use of energy taxes, the paper contributes to the research in this area by reflecting on the present and future of these instruments in a particularly shifting world.
