“…In addition to some literature confirming the effect of an environmental tax on pollutant reduction [21][22][23][24], there is also some literature concerning the positive effects of environmental tax rates and specific environmental taxes on emission reduction. Rapanos et al confirmed that an environmental tax in Greece would curb carbon dioxide emissions when the tax rate reached the highest level in the European Union [32].…”

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.

“…Nowadays, green tax reform is becoming more popular among young people, and the number of generations supporting the reform is primarily determined by the disutility experienced by individuals as a result of pollution (De Miguel et al, 2015). Greening the tax structure can improve the energy-trade balance and energy independence, reducing the economy's energy intensity (Rodríguez et al, 2019). Extending this, Nihal et al (2022) explored the causal relationship between green taxes and energy consumption in Nordic countries.…”

Given the global ecological environment deteriorating, the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) concept advocates that economic growth and environmental protection must go hand in hand. Green taxes, in particular, are critical to economic development as they serve as a key lever for the government in regulating the national economy and improving environmental quality. This paper aims to examine the pollution reduction effect of green taxation in China. We constructed fixed effect models using provincial panel data from 2012 to 2017 to empirically examine the effect of green taxation - including environment protection tax, consumption tax, resource tax and vehicle purchase tax - on pollution emissions. The findings show that environmental protection tax has a significant inhibitory effect on exhaust gas emissions but a poor inhibitory effect on wastewater and industrial solid waste emissions. Other green taxes - consumption tax, resource tax, and vehicle purchase tax - do not have an ideal inhibitory effect on pollution emissions. The paper concludes with policy recommendations organized around improving the environmental protection tax, actively promoting the ESG concept, and optimizing the top-level design of the green tax system.

“…According to [14], environmental taxes play a dynamic role in mitigating environmental corrosion in 26 European economies. According to [15], environmental tax measures in Spain were critical in reducing pollutant emissions in 39 significant businesses. According to [16], environmental tax measures increase the energy-trade balance and energy efficiency.…”

Do Better Institutional Arrangements Lead to Environmental Sustainability: Evidence from India

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The efficient planning, execution, and management of institutional frameworks for climate change adaptation are essential to sustainable development. India, in particular, is known to be disproportionately vulnerable to the consequences of climate change. This study examines the effects of environmental taxes, corruption, urbanization, economic growth, ecological risks, and renewable energy sources on CO2 emissions in India from 1978 to 2018. Therefore, the ARDL model is used to draw inferences, and Pairwise Granger causality is also applied to demonstrate a cause-and-effect relationship. The empirical results show that corruption, environmental dangers, GDP, and urbanization positively influence India’s carbon emissions. However, the results of short-run elasticities show that carbon emissions reduce ecological sustainability. Environmental hazards and costs, like other countries, impact India’s carbon emissions. Therefore, decision-makers in India should set up strict environmental regulations and anti-corruption measures to combat unfair practice that distorts competition laws and policies. In addition, the government concentrates more on energy efficiency policies that diminish carbon emissions without hampering economic growth in the country.
