“…However, the negative incidence of the DENS*INDW interaction seems to indicate that when industrial congestion phenomena appears, part of the activity eventually shifts to other regions [54]. As found by Loganathan et al [25] for Malaysia, or Liu et al [34], Xiong et al [32] and Zhang et al [36] for China, our model would confirm the EKC hypothesis for Spain, as it suggests a growing relationship between emissions levels and regional industrial production, albeit with relative decoupling, given the negative sign of the square of the variable INDGDP. This result would suggest the Spanish regions are concerned about sustainable and environmentally friendly industrial development.…”

In this paper we study the effectiveness of environmental taxes and policies of the regional level of government to reduce GHG emissions. We use panel data for the 17 Spanish regions in the period 1999–2017, controlling the spatial nexus between regions and using a dynamic Durbin model. The results show there is spatial dependence and spatio-temporal persistence of GHG emissions at the regional level in Spain, and that in this context, the taxes and policies intended to manage emissions introduce a slight disincentive to generating them. This fact, together with some relative decoupling which seems to exist between growth and emissions at the regional level, would suggest the need for tougher measures to combat environmental pollution in order to meet EU commitments.

“…However, Filipović and Golušin (2015) recommend using a composite environmental tax indicator -Environmental Taxation Effi ciency -to assess the fi nancial eff ects of environmental taxes. Loganathan et al (2014) suggest focusing more on environmental impact. Rosiek (2014), Sjögren (2009) andBovenberg (1995) propose focussing on the social impacts of environmental taxes.…”

Environmental taxes should play an important part in environmental policy as they help to internalize externalities, reduce damage, and increase the quality of life; besides they allow raising revenue for national and local governments. Th e aim of this paper is to evaluate environmental eff ectiveness, economic effi ciency, equity impact, administrative feasibility and cost, and political acceptability of environmental (energy, transport, and natural-resource) taxes in Latvia. Th e study is based on desk research. Th e results demonstrate little evidence that existing environmental taxes lead to a signifi cant reduction in environmental pollution and waste fl ows, but they have a signifi cant fi scal eff ect. Most of the environmental taxes in Latvia apply direct and indirect subsidies, but most of the revenue comes from taxes on energy and transport. Environmental tax rates in Latvia are the result of political compromise and are not backed by the research on environmental costs of the particular activity. Th is paper fi lls the gap in environmental policy evaluation by looking at the performance and eff ectiveness of environmental taxes in Latvia.

“…Recent research has also evaluated the practical experiences made with both instruments [e.g. [14][15][16][17][18][19]. A specific area that has been explored in more detail is the linking of ETSs [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”
