| Abstract: | The implications of more environmental concern for the optimal provision of public goods, tax structure, and involuntary unemployment are derived within a second-best framework in which lump-sum taxes are not available and labour supply is rationed owing to a rigid consumer wage. A shift towards greener preferences may boost employment and public consumption if initial environmental concern is small, a fixed factor plays a major role in production, and pollution is reduced through more labor-intensive production rather than a lower level of output. |
