Download or read book Environmental Fiscal Reform and Unemployment written by Carlo Carraro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union faces several interlinked challenges: how to protect the environment and favour sustainability; how to reduce unemployment and foster competitiveness in a context of growing globalization; how to reduce regional disparities among and within me mb er countries. The recent policy debate has clarified that the above objectives are not a trade off if jointly tackled. In particular, win-win policy options are available to the European Union by an appropriate integration of regulation, macro policy, social policy, fiscal policy and environmental policy. Evidence shows that optimising on each single policy will not meet the needs of the European Union. On the contrary, an integrated approach will make it possible to reach the various objectives, as stated in the Treaty on European Union, in the 5th Environmental Action Programme, in the White Paper on Growth, Competitiveness and Employment. This integrated approach would im plement a genuine sustainable development policy.
Book Synopsis Alleviating Unemployment by : Ronnie Schöb

Book excerpt: It has been argued recently that imposing taxes on pollution produces additional tax revenues, which can then be used to replace labor taxes and thus reap a double dividend in the form of improving environmental quality and alleviating unemployment. This paper analyzes the employment effects of revenue-neutral green tax reforms by focusing on the revenue recycling effect on employment. Our model contains three features which are important when looking at the employment effects of green tax reforms: 1) there is unemployment in equilibrium; 2) wages are determined endogenously; and 3) various institutional arrangements for taxing unemployment benefits, for the price-indexation of unemployment benefits and for personal tax allowances are considered. The employment effects of a revenue-neutral green tax reform are sensitive to institutional arrangements concerning taxation and indexation of unemployment benefits and personal tax allowances. A revenue-neutral green tax reform will boost employment if unemployment benefits are untaxed and nominally fixed. Employment actually falls if unemployment benefits are taxed and price indexed. When employment changes, the functional distribution of income also changes. Total private income, after-tax profits and after-tax labor income increase with employment, while transfer income decreases. If the polluting good is normal, a positive employment effect reduces the environmental dividend obtained from a revenue-neutral green tax reform.
Book Synopsis Environmental Tax Reform, Economic Growth, and Unemployment in an OLG Economy by : Tetsuo Ono
Download or read book Environmental Tax Reform, Economic Growth, and Unemployment in an OLG Economy written by Tetsuo Ono and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops an overlapping-generations model characterized by endogenous growth, unemployment, and pollution. The paper focuses on the replacement ratio, which measures the proportion of after-tax work earnings replaced by unemployment benefits, and considers a replacement-ratio-neutral reform in which the environmental tax is devoted to cutting the employees' rate of contribution to unemployment insurance. Under this reform, (i) the growth rate is increased, the unemployment rate is unchanged, and pollution is decreased; (ii) there is a trade-off of nonenvironmental utility between current and future generations; and (iii) when the reform is associated with an intergenerational transfer from the young to the old, the nonenvironmental utility of every generation can be improved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1990s and 2000s the issue of general welfare double dividend (an improvement in environmental quality combined with a positive welfare effect) triggered by a tax shift from labour to energy resources has been extensively debated. In this book, Kurt Kratena studies the employment effects of revenue neutral shifts from labour to energy, and measures the impact on theoretical and empirical models of the European labour market.

Book Synopsis Pollution, Factor Taxation and Unemployment by : Erkki Koskela
Download or read book Pollution, Factor Taxation and Unemployment written by Erkki Koskela and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When consumers choose between clean and dirty goods and the labor market clears, a green tax reform may not bring about a double dividend in the sense of increasing environmental quality and increasing employment. However, when firms choose between clean and dirty factors of production, and when there is unemployment, such a result is very likely to occur. The paper investigates a model of a monopolistic firm where labor and energy are factors of production and trade unions negotiate the wage rate, accepting some unemployment as a result of aggressive wage demands. It is shown that, in such a framework, a green tax reform will boost employment provided it does not increase the net-of-tax wage rate by too much. This is the case when the elasticity of substitution between labor and energy is greater than one, equal to one or not too far below one.
Book Synopsis Environmental Taxation and Unemployment by : Marzio Galeotti
Download or read book Environmental Taxation and Unemployment written by Marzio Galeotti and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The employment 'double dividend hypothesis' suggests that an appropriately designed fiscal reform, in which emission charges are used to subsidize employers' social security contributions, may realize (at least) two relevant policy goals: a better quality of the environment and, at the same time, an increase in employment levels. This paper uses a newly developed econometric general equilibrium model for the European Union as well as for each member country and presents simulation results up to the year 2010 of the effects of a European carbon tax the revenues from which are recycled to reduce employers' social security contributions. The results show that recycling carbon tax revenues may provide an 'employment double dividend' only in the short run.
Book Synopsis Fiscal Policies for Development and Climate Action by : Miria A. Pigato
Download or read book Fiscal Policies for Development and Climate Action written by Miria A. Pigato and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides actionable advice on how to design and implement fiscal policies for both development and climate action. Building on more than two decades of research in development and environmental economics, it argues that well-designed environmental tax reforms are especially valuable in developing countries, where they can reduce emissions, increase domestic revenues, and generate positive welfare effects such as cleaner water, safer roads, and improvements in human health. Moreover, these reforms need not harm competitiveness. New empirical evidence from Indonesia and Mexico suggests that under certain conditions, raising fuel prices can actually increase firm productivity. Finally, the report discusses the role of fiscal policy in strengthening resilience to climate change. It provides evidence that preventive public investments and measures to build fiscal buffers can help safeguard stability and growth in the face of rising climate risks. In this way, environmental tax reforms and climate risk-management strategies can lay the much-needed fiscal foundation for development and climate action.
Download or read book Green Taxes written by Runar Brännlund and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the possibility that ecological tax reform in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden could achieve a greener environment, increase tax revenues, and lower levels of unemployment. The analysis encompasses theoretical and empirical levels, looking at the social costs of such taxes, the impacts of a Swedish carbon tax as seen in a static numerical model, and taxes on nitrogen and fertilizer. Finds that the level of unemployment cannot be reduced by revenue-neutral environmental taxes without any social costs, and more broadly, that there are no easy ways to achieve full employment, a budget surplus, and environmental sustainability. However, suggests that further research may open possibilities. The eight studies are from a September 1995 workshop in Stockholm. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Synopsis Environmental Tax Reforms and the Double Dividend by : Christian M. Scholz
Download or read book Environmental Tax Reforms and the Double Dividend written by Christian M. Scholz and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important topic in environmental economics is how to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in order to reduce the threat of global warming. For this purpose, some countries levy environmental taxes. Often, such taxes can result in a second dividend if revenues are used for other governmental purposes such as the reduction of unemployment or the reduction of taxes. Can Germany realistically earn this "double dividend"? Based on a theoretical model, Scholz performs numerical simulations to find out whether environmental taxes have positive effects on households (differentiated by income groups) and firms (differentiated by technologies). Scholz finds that most effects on employment are not large enough to warrant the term "double dividend" and concludes that it is better to levy environmental taxes only for environmental objectives. This study will be of interest to scholars and students specializing in environmental economic issues as well as to international organizations and research institutes in economics.
