Ricardian rents , environmental policy and the ‘ double - dividend ’ hypothesis
Recent studies on the so-called double dividend hypothesis find that environmental tax swaps exacerbate the costs of the tax system and therefore do not produce a double dividend. We extend these models by incorporating a fixed-factor in the production of the polluting good and, therefore, allowing Ricardian rents to be generated in the economy. In this setting, an environmental tax reform with...

Recent studies find that environmental tax swaps typically exacerbate the costs of the tax system and therefore do not produce a “double dividend”. We extend previous models by incorporating taxfavored consumption goods (e.g. housing, medical care). In this setting, the efficiency gains from recycling environmental tax revenues are larger because pre-existing taxes distort the consumption bundl...

متن کاملPollution Reduction, Environmental Uncertainty, and the Irreversibility Effect
This paper analyses the decision to invest to reduce the emissions of a stock pollutant under environmental uncertainty. It shows that this decision depends on the type and level of uncertainty. When uncertainty is small, there is no simple irreversibility effect because of the tension between environmental irreversibility (the stock of pollutant causes costly long-term social damages), and inv...
