This article studies the relationship between environmental governance, public health expenditure, and economic growth by introducing human health status into a three-period overlapping generation dynamic general equilibrium (OLG-DGE) model and conducting a policy simulation analysis in a Chinese scenario. The main findings are generalized as follows: (i) The increase in pollution emissions per unit of output will not only lead to the deterioration of public health but also hinder long-term economic growth, while the efficiency of pollution control will improve health and output per labor unit; (ii) Although levying environmental tax will improve health status and life expectancy, it has a non-linear impact on pollution emissions and output per labor unit, which means that there are trade-offs among environmental governance, public health improvement, and economic output; and (iii) Although the increase in the proportion of public health expenditure will improve health status, its impact on life expectancy and economic output is affected by the level of environmental tax. Only when the environmental tax rate is relatively low, will increasing the proportion of public health expenditure extend life expectancy and output per labor unit.

“…Green tax practices were first introduced in developed countries such as the United States, the European Union, Switzerland, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, and South Korea and achieved some success (Levinson, 2007;Wei andAadlan, 2020: 1033). In addition, the practice of green taxes is relatively new in developing countries such as Ukraine, Mexico, Turkey, Brazil, and Chile.…”

Global warming and climate change are recognized as one of the most important environmental and economic problems of the last century. For this reason, new studies are added every day in this field. Carbon emissions, which are shown as the most important cause of global warming, result from the intense use of fossil fuels to meet the energy demand. In this context, many countries are trying to limit their carbon emissions with new laws and regulations. One of these regulations is green taxes. In the study, the role of green taxes in reducing carbon emissions that cause global warming and climate change was examined by using linear panel regression methods for the years 1994-2014 in G-7 countries. In the study, firstly specification tests, then deviations from the assumption were tested and parameter estimations were made using AR(1) Residual Random Effects model. When the coefficients obtained in the study are examined, it is seen that there is a positive relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions. On the other hand, it is seen that environmental patent applications, environmental taxation and renewable energy consumption variables, which are indicators for monitoring environmental quality, have a negative relationship with carbon emissions.
