“…The EPT is integrated into the CGE model as an ad valorem tax on energy input and output of production. Total air pollutants (SO 2 , NO X and CO) emissions are multiplied with the tax per pollution equivalents quantity (t) to obtain the total emissions tax (TAX) (Arikan and Kumbaroglu 1999). The pollutants emissions are divided into fossil fuel combustion (E) and processing emissions (P) in each sector (C) and each region (R).…”

Environmental problems, associated with climate change and air pollution, have become increasingly serious for China in recent years, which have aroused great domestic and international concerns. To mitigate these problems with great efforts, the Chinese government has implemented the Environmental Protection Tax Law in the whole country since the beginning of 2018. Although the new tax law is perceived as an aggressive policy that tends to establish a taxation system for promoting air pollution control, evaluations of its effectiveness are insufficient and urgently needed for China. Using a multiregion multisector Computable General Equilibrium model, we, for the first time, quantify the impacts of this 'pollution tax' policy on modulating air pollutants emissions. Our analysis shows that current tax policy is generally able to reduce many short-lived air pollutants emissions (e.g. SO 2 , NO X , TSP, PM 10 , PM 2.5 , CO, VOCs, OC, NH 3 and BC), but the significant effects only happen in regions with large economic scale (i.e. Guangdong, Shandong and Zhejiang provinces) and in sectors with high emission intensity (i.e. the electric power and nonmetal manufacturing sectors). However, at the national level, the overall effect of the current policy on air pollution mitigation is relatively small, less than 2% compared to a business-as-usual scenario. Large emission reduction potentials exist if the tax increases. Therefore, a more ambitious tax policy is urgently needed in order to achieve China's air pollution mitigation target of 2020. We also find that in China for implementing any pollution tax policies, the rate of decline in CO 2 emissions is much larger than those of short-lived pollutants, which indicates a huge co-benefit on global climate change mitigation.

“…As the computable general equilibrium (CGE) model can quantitatively simulate the direct and indirect impact of policy changes on the overall national economy, it is widely used in the evaluation of trade policy, fiscal and financial policy, and energy policy (Arikana, 2001;Chen et al, 2010;Liu & Fu, 2011). In recent years, many scholars have begun to use a CGE model to analyze water resource problems, including water price policy, water resources allocation, and water market.…”

Water policy and regional economic development: evidence from Henan province, China

et al. 2021

With the rapid advance of industrialization and urbanization and the intensified impact of global climate change, the contradiction between the global water shortage and economic growth has become prominent. This paper, taking Henan province as an example, analyzed the influence of water resource policy on regional economic growth through a calculable general equilibrium model and further discussed the relevant policy recommendations. The results showed that the improvement of water supply, water efficiency and water technology could promote the growth of the regional economy and result in a positive effect on regional GDP, employment and resident income. However, the rise of water price has a negative impact on regional economic development, mainly reflected in regional GDP, employment and household income. The improvement of water price, water efficiency and water conservancy technology would lead to a decrease in regional water consumption, while only the increase of the water supply would lead to an increase in water consumption. Accordingly, the paper put forward policy suggestions, such as accelerating the improvement of water conservancy facilities, establishing a reasonable water price mechanism and actively exploring experience in water conservation and emission reduction.
