Ingeniously organized in a life cycle format, the Handbook covers
environmental taxation concepts, design, acceptance,
implementation, and impact. The universal themes discussed in each
area will appeal to a broad range of readers.' - Larry Kreiser,
Cleveland State University, US'This book is a smart and useful
reader's guide providing analytical tools for a full comprehension
of environmental taxes, with an interdisciplinary approach that
looks at all the different phases of environmental taxation: from
the design to the implementation, the political acceptance and the
impact on the economy. The authors' effort is very successful in
endowing academicians, policy makers and the general public with an
excellent proof of the effectiveness of environmental taxes and
green tax reforms.' - Alberto Majocchi, University of Pavia, Italy
'Putting the words 'environment' next to 'taxation' might not
always be the flavour of the month, but no modern society can
ignore the value of the natural environment and the need to
maintain its good quality and no competitive economy can prosper
without the necessary tax revenues to function. Environmental
taxation offers the prospect of moving towards a more
resource-efficient economy, where preference is given to tax more
what we burn, less what we earn. I welcome this contribution to the
literature.' - Commissioner Connie Hedegaard, European Commission
'The Milne and Andersen volume provides a splendid treatment of
environmental taxation that encompasses the basic conceptual
issues, problems of tax design and implementation, and several
insightful case studies that show how environmental taxes actually
work in practice. It is the best overall treatment of environmental
taxation available: comprehensive, rigorous, and readable.' -
Wallace Oates, University of Maryland, College Park US The Handbook
of Research on Environmental Taxation captures the state of the art
of research on environmental taxation. Written by 36 specialists in
environmental taxation from 16 countries, it takes an
interdisciplinary and international approach, focusing on issues
that are universal to using taxation to achieve environmental
goals. The Handbook explores the conceptual foundations of
environmental taxation, essential elements for designing
environmental tax measures, factors that influence the acceptance
of environmental taxation, the variety of ways to implement
environmental taxes, their environmental and economic impact and,
finally, the larger question of the role of taxation among other
policy approaches to environmental protection. Intermixing theory
with case studies, the Handbook offers readers lessons that can be
applied around the world. It identifies key bodies of research for
people who are already working in the field or entering the field
and highlights issues that call for more research in the future.
With systematic analysis of key issues in environmental taxation,
this book will appeal to researchers, governments, think tanks,
NGOs, and academics in law, economics, political science and public
finance, as well as students specializing in environmental taxation
and other market-based instruments. Contributors include: M.S.
