“…Tang et al also agreed that the total carbon emissions and other main air pollutants would be significantly mitigated in the coal resource tax reform of China, which can effectively improve the environment and guarantee the achievement of China's promise of carbon emissions reduction [41]. Similarly, Peng et al concluded that the energy excise tax is beneficial for energy saving, and also confirmed that when the energy tax revenue is used to compensate for welfare losses, a double dividend effect of the energy excise tax will be achieved [42]. Regarding the partial affirmation or negative attitude toward the effect of an environmental tax on emission reduction, the main research objects are concentrated in a single country or in the European Union and OECD as a whole [25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

Under the background that environmental tax has increasingly become the main means of environmental governance in various countries, it is particularly important to study the effect of environmental tax on reducing pollutants and then put forward suggestions for building a scientific and rational environmental tax system. The novelty of this paper is the investigation of the pollutant emission reduction effects of environmental taxes in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries and Chinese provinces at the same time, and further comparison of the pollutant emission reduction effects of environmental taxes in OECD and China under different environmental tax collection scales, industrial added value levels, and economic development conditions based on Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag Modelling Approach (ARDL). The data are derived from environmental taxes and pollutants of OECD countries from 1994 to 2016 and Chinese provinces from 2004 to 2016. The results show that from the overall regression results, environmental taxes really help to reduce pollutant emissions, both in OECD countries and China. From the grouping regression results, the OECD countries and Chinese inland provinces with small-scale or medium-level of environmental tax revenue and higher level of economic growth all show better emission reduction effects, while OECD countries with low industrial added value and Chinese inland provinces with high industrial added value have more significant effects on pollutant emission reduction via environmental taxes.

“…Energy tax scenarios impose much larger economic costs than explored in our analysis and find larger unfavorable impacts. Tax rates of 5-15% on energy, for example, simulate a decrease of 0.27-1.13% in Chinese GDP (Peng et al, 2019). Energy taxes associated with renewable energy development and proper revenue recycling mechanisms equal to a 7% tax rate would decrease real GDP of Spain by 0.08-0.1% (Freire-González and Puig-Ventosa, 2019).…”

“…During previous studies, many fields use the CGE model widely, including international trade, 61,67 fiscal and taxation, 48,68 energy and environment, 9,69 income distribution, 70,71 regional economic issues, 20,41 traffic and transport, 72,73 agricultural development, 74,75 tourism industry, 76,77 postdisaster economic reconstruction and so on. 58,78 This article's multisectoral dynamic CGE model arose from the Analysis of Chinese Economic Systems Simulation (ACESS) model of the Numerical Intelligence Economic Systems Simulation Research Centre, 79 consisting of a production module, an income and expenditure module, a trading module, and a carbon tax module, along with a dynamic and macro closure module.…”

High-energy consumption and high-emission industries contribute a lot to economic development, but their carbon emissions are also huge. In order to achieve the dual-carbon target as early as possible, it is necessary to reduce the carbon emissions of high-energy consumption and high-emission industries. This paper selected five representative factors (population, per capita gross domestic product (GDP), energy intensity, energy structure and carbon emission coefficient) and adopted the logarithmic mean divisia index (LMDI) method to decompose the driving factors of carbon emissions. Therefore, this paper uses Tapio decoupling model to analyze the decoupling relationship between the two factors with the greatest impact on carbon emissions and carbon emissions. The results show that: (i) There is a good decoupling between high-energy consumption and high-emission industries and per capita GDP, and the impact of per capita GDP on carbon emissions will gradually decrease in the future; (ii) The decoupling relationship between carbon emissions and energy intensity is poor. For some industries, the reduction of energy intensity can help reduce carbon emissions. Finally, this paper puts forward some suggestions to promote carbon emission reduction. This paper provides theoretical support for studying how to reduce carbon emissions and formulate relevant emission reduction policies in the high-energy consumption and high-emission industries.
