A Method of Designing Energy Tax Rate Based On Game Theory∗

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a method of designing energy tax rate based on game theory. Through this method, the effect of energy tax on encouraging manufacturers’ improvement in energy efficiency is enhanced. Consequently policy makers can reduce the average burden of manufacturers brought by energy tax. Through utilizing game theory in a numerical example, we explain the effect of energy tax on encouraging manufacturers to improve their energy efficiency. The result shows that, given a fixed average tax rate, energy tax with differential tax rate according to manufacturers’ energy efficiency is more effective than that with uniform tax rate. Then, based on differential tax rate, a method to determine a proper average tax rate is presented by utilizing theory of Nash equilibrium in game theory. In addition, practicality of the method is simply discussed in the last section.

Modeling Tax Evasion in Value Added Tax, A Game Theory Approach
Taxes make up the bulk of any government revenue and provide a sustainable source of revenue. In recent years, the main focus of the tax reform program, in almost all countries of the world, has been on VAT. But a major problem in the effective implementation of VAT, which is a nascent tax base in countries, is the phenomenon of tax evasion. Therefore, one of the most basic steps in preventing ...

Network throughput and energy conservation are two conflicting important performance metrics for wireless sensor networks. Since these two objectives are in conflict with each other, it is difficult to achieve them simultaneously. In this paper, a joint duty cycle scheduling and energy aware routing approach is proposed based on evolutionary game theory which is called DREG. Making a trade-off ...

This paper, we analyze the double-dividend issues by the design of overlapping generations approach. We characterize the necessary conditions for the obtaining a double dividend, i.e. an improvement of environmental and non-environmental welfare when the revenue of the pollution taxis recycled into a change of the labor tax rate. We show that first advantage of the double dividend theory depend...
