Objective
To establish whether and how "green taxes" can support improved environmental conditions, reduce unemployment and lead to higher net welfare and economic growth.
OBJECTIVES :
To establish whether and how "green taxes" can support improved environmental conditions, reduce unemployment and lead to higher net welfare and economic growth.
DESCRIPTION :
The research focuses on four issues :
i) the potential impact on environment, unemployment, and growth of different types of green taxes;
ii) the sensitivity of the environmental tax base to different levels of the tax rate;
iii) the nature of the differences between various green tax systems with respect to their impacts on the environment, unemployment, and growth;
iv) the effect of non-compliance in respect of green taxes.
Analysis is through a combination of partial sector studies and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models in 3 countries, Denmark, Italy and Sweden. Starting with an investigation of environmental problems and potential green tax bases in each country, equilibrium models are subsequently constructed which allow the simulation of the impacts of various green taxes and the role of enforcement.
The results for Denmark, Italy and Sweden are compared with information available from a number of other EU countries, including Austria, Germany, and Netherlands.
