On the Political Economy of Green Tax Reforms
This paper offers a political economy model of green tax reforms in which the use of the revenue from the ecotax is an integrated part. We use the model to explain why and when a link between an ecotax and cuts in other non-environmental taxes can be expected. In our model, green tax swaps arise because a producer lobby group, even if the use of the revenue does not affect profits per se, takes...
متن کاملAutomatically Green: Behavioral Economics and Environmental Protection
Careful attention to choice architecture promises to open up new possibilities for environmental protection — possibilities that may be more effective than the standard tools of economic incentives, mandates, and bans. How, for example, do consumers choose between environmentally friendly products or services and alternatives that are potentially damaging to the environment but less expensive? ...
متن کاملPollution Permits, Green Taxes, and the Environmental Poverty Trap
We compare pollution permits and green taxes in a unified overlapping generations model with endogenous longevity. The model identifies pollution permits as a potential source of multiple equilibria. One nontrivial equilibrium is an environmental poverty trap (EPT) with low capital and a high stock of pollution. An economy operating around the equilibrium will gravitate toward this equilibrium ...
متن کاملSocially-Efficient Tax Reforms∗
We propose graphical methods to determine whether commodity-tax changes are “socially efficient”, in the sense of improving social welfare or decreasing poverty for large classes of social welfare and poverty indices. We also derive estimators of critical poverty lines and economic efficiency ratios which can be used to characterize socially-efficient tax reforms. The statistical properties of ...
متن کاملTax Reforms and Evidence of Transfer Pricing
The manipulation of transfer prices changes the relative tax burdens multinational firms face in their different countries of operation and may even reduce a firm’s worldwide tax payments. At the same time, transfer price manipulation will often trigger changes in the tariffs that are levied on intra-company imports. For this reason, when tax rates change, as they did for many countries during ...
