abstract: 'The environmental taxes, such as carbon tax, also affect other economic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
variables in a different way in addition to the main goal of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
politicians. The carbon tax aims to reduce energy consumption and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pollutant emissions, while it can also reduce labor tax and labor costs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
which are incentives to create new jobs. It is necessary to evaluate the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
carbon taxation policy in Iran due to the special circumstances of the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
budget deficit mainly caused by the decline of exports and oil revenues.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The present study is based on a general equilibrium model in the form of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a nonlinear equations system. The model has been calibrated for the 2017
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
reference year using the data table adopted from Iran''s economy. It has
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
been shown that if the carbon tax revenue is employed to decrease the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
labor income tax, the environmental quality will be improved by reducing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pollutant emissions on the one hand, and it will lead to positive
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
effects on the welfare and employment on the other hand. In the present
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
paper, the effect of applying this tax on two policies with
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
redistribution (compensation) and without redistribution (no
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
compensation) of income tax among the households is examined. Maximum,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
minimum, and optimal values of pollutant emissions reduction under the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
influence of carbon tax policies were calculated in both scenarios. The
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
simulation results show that the taxation without redistribution of tax
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
revenues decreases the welfare and household''s actual consumed budget by
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6.2\%, but in policy with compensation of tax revenue, these indices
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
will increase by 0.8\%. The gross domestic product (GDP) decreases by
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
about 1.7\% and 2.1\% in both policies, respectively, while the consumer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
price index (CPI) in both scenarios will increase by about 6.4\% and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
8\%, respectively. According to this research findings, carbon taxation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
with the redistribution of revenue is a suitable policy to reduce
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
greenhouse gas emissions and adhere to international commitments at the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
same time.'
