| Abstract: | The economy can be divided into two broad segments, producers and consumers.The producers category includes all the firms that take inputs and convert them to useful output.Production and consumption create residuals which is another way od saying leftovers.It includes all types of material residuals that may be emitted into the air or water or disposed of on land.The ultimate goal of ecological protection is to reduce the damages caused by the discharge of production and consumption residuals.Reducing the total quantity of these residuals is one major way of doing this.But we can also reduce damages by working directly on the stream of residuals.Emission taxes attack the pollution problem at its source, by putting a price on something that has been free and, therefore, overused.A second advantage of emission taxes is that they produce a strong incentive to innovate, to discover cheaper ways of reducing emmissions. |
