Investigating the Economic Effects of Taxes on Pollutants in Iran Using a Computable General Equilibrium Model
This study investigates the economic effects of taxes on pollutants in Iran in 2011. For this purpose, computable general equilibrium model with 2011 social accounting matrix is applied. Six scenarios taxes on pollutants have defined and estimatethe effects on economic variables and production quantity of activities. The results show that the taxes on pollutants is conducive to environmental im...
متن کاملthe effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)
cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
Optimal Taxes on Fossil Fuel in General Equilibrium By
1 We analyze a dynamic stochastic general-equilibrium (DSGE) model with an externality—through climate change—from using fossil energy. Our central result is a simple formula for the marginal externality damage of emissions (or, equivalently, for the optimal carbon tax). This formula, which holds under quite plausible assumptions, reveals that the damage is proportional to current GDP, with the...
متن کاملUnit versus ad valorem taxes: Monopoly in general equilibrium
We show that if a monopoly sector is imbedded in a general equilibrium framework and profits are taxed at one hundred percent, then unit (specific) taxation and ad valorem taxation are welfare-wise equivalent. This is contrary to all known claims. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Number:H21
متن کاملOptimal Taxes on Fossil Fuel in General Equilibrium
We embed a simple linear model of the carbon cycle in a standard neoclassical growth model where one input to the production function, oil, is non-renewable. The use of oil generates carbon emission, the key input in the carbon cycle. Changes in the amount of carbon in the atmosphere drive the greenhouse e¤ect and thereby the climate. Climate change is modeled as a global damage to production a...
