“…Moreover, ET has played an important role in policy debates, as it is considered that raising environmental taxes could create scope for tax cuts in other areas and thus deliver a double dividend by boosting employment and improving the quality of the environment at the same time (Eurostat 2013). Although some papers offer support for the existence of a double dividend (Bento and Jacobsen 2007;Taheripour et al 2008), whilst others provide mixed support (Takeda 2007) or no support (Bovenberg et al 2008;Williams 2002), both arguments (positive effects on employment and environment) are at the base of the Environmental Tax Reform in the European Union as proposed by the European Environmental Agency (European Environment Agency-EEA 2005). According to this reform the ET may provide a double dividend since shifting from conventional to environmental taxation, under certain conditions (discussed by (Fullerton and Metcalf 1997;Goulder 2013;Kampas and Horan 2016)), not only corrects a negative externality, but also reduces distorting effects of taxation in other markets, thereby improving welfare (Ekins et al 2011).…”

Non-trivial Factors as Determinants of the Environmental Taxation Revenues in 27 EU Countries

Abstract:The implementation of environmental taxation is one of the most important issues of environmental policy in Europe. To approach this matter, the paper aims to analyse the determinants of environmental taxation revenue for European countries. Besides investigating the most explored determinants, such as those related to production, consumption and environmental quality, particular attention is paid to some non-trivial factors. Firstly, we analyse the importance of the institutional context that is crucial for policy enforcement. Secondly, we consider the consumption of rapidly obsolescent goods, such as information and communication technology (ICT) goods characterised by intensive waste generation. Finally, the importation of final goods as a consequence of production offshoring is taken into account. The results demonstrate that the above-mentioned determinants have a heterogeneous impact on environmental taxation revenue in EU Western countries and EU Eastern countries, which can be due to a still weak institutional context of the latter economies and their peculiar patterns of development.

“…Ayrıca üç tip çevre vergisinin istihdam arttırıcı etkisi de dahil diğer refah etkileri Güney Afrika için anlamsız bulunmuştur. Takeda (2007) bireylerin çalışma ve boş zaman tercihlerini de modellere ilave ettiği çalışmasında sekizi çevre kirliliğine yol açan toplam 27 emtia ve 27 sektör için çok sektörlü CGE modeli yardımıyla Japonya özelinde 1995-2095 dönemi için ÇKH'in geçerli olup olmadığını araştırmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda ÇKH'in zayıf formunun tüm simülasyon senaryoları için geçerli olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.…”

“…The authors in [14] and [15] demonstrated that models need to take into account the presence of non-environmental distortionary taxes in order to accurately assess the macroeconomic performance of environmental taxes. There are also studies which find support for the hypothesis by comparing the effects of various tax recycling at a national level (e.g., [16,17]). …”

Input vs. Output Taxation—A DSGE Approach to Modelling Resource Decoupling

2016

Environmental taxes constitute a crucial instrument aimed at reducing resource use through lower production losses, resource-leaner products, and more resource-efficient production processes. In this paper we focus on material use and apply a multi-sector dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model to study two types of taxation: tax on material inputs used by industry, energy, construction, and transport sectors, and tax on output of these sectors. We allow for endogenous adoption of resource-saving technologies. We calibrate the model for the EU27 area using an IO matrix. We consider taxation introduced from 2021 and simulate its impact until 2050. We compare the taxes along their ability to induce reduction in material use and raise revenue. We also consider the effect of spending this revenue on reduction of labour taxation. We find that input and output taxation create contrasting incentives and have opposite effects on resource efficiency. The material input tax induces investment in efficiency-improving technology which, in the long term, results in GDP and employment by 15%-20% higher than in the case of a comparable output tax. We also find that using revenues to reduce taxes on labour has stronger beneficial effects for the input tax.
