Tiivistelmä: | The authors construct a model with four groups of households who have preferences over labour supply, consumption of pollution (energy related) and non-polluting (non-energy) goods, and emissions. They quantify the model for the French economy and compute optimal tax equilibria under nine second-best tax regimes finding that the redistributive role of environmental taxes requires the polluting goods to be taxed at a rate much below their marginal social damage. |
