Gathering support for green tax reform: Evidence from German household surveys

Assessing distributional effects of carbon pricing in Israel

“…Therefore, many researchers have presented studies on the distributional impacts of carbon pricing reforms, for example conducting exante microsimulations in the context of the United States (Goulder et al, 2019;Mathur and Morris, 2014), countries of the European Union (Feindt et al, 2021), countries of South East Asia (Steckel et al, 2021), countries of Latin America (Vogt-Schilb et al, 2019) or in single-country studies, such as Ecuador (Schaffitzel et al, 2019) or Peru (Malerba et al, 2021). Other researchers use more dynamic approaches to include demand responses, for example for the case of Brazil (Garaffa et al, 2021), Mexico (Renner et al, 2018) or Germany (van der Ploeg et al, 2022). A meta-analysis (Ohlendorf et al, 2021) confirms findings from these studies that carbon pricing is often regressive, but more likely to be progressive in lower income countries and if applied exclusively to the transport sector.…”

“…Regressive distributional impacts result from poorer households spending more money (relative to total expenditures) on carbon-intensive goods (such as energy), which leads to poorer households bearing higher additional costs (relative to total expenditures) compared to richer households. In addition, research suggests that differences within income groups can be meaningful, possibly exceeding differences between income groups (Cronin et al, 2019;Fischer and Pizer, 2019), but few publications engage explicitly with household characteristics correlating with the tax incidence of carbon pricing beyond differences in income (e.g., Feindt et al, 2021;van der Ploeg et al, 2022).…”

Is environmental tax legislation effective for pollution abatement in emerging economies? Evidence from China

“…Environmental taxes improve environmental quality primarily by forcing producers to reduce emissions, rather than lowering consumers' consumption (Pang, 2018;van der Ploeg et al, 2022). This is because for producers, the supply elasticity is relatively higher, and producers can adjust their output to achieve emission reduction targets.…”

“…This is because for producers, the supply elasticity is relatively higher, and producers can adjust their output to achieve emission reduction targets. While for consumers, the demand elasticity is relatively lower, which makes it difficult for consumers to change their demand significantly in a short time (van der Ploeg et al, 2022). For producers, environmental taxes increase the marginal cost of energy consumption, and thus lead to lower output levels as well as reduced emissions (Gray and Shadbegian, 2003;Pal and Saha, 2015).…”
