The prospect of simultaneously achieving a 'greener' environment,
increased tax revenues and lower levels of unemployment has made
ecological taxes an increasingly popular proposition. This volume
examines the possibility of ecological tax reform in the Nordic
countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The potential for
ecological tax reform is investigated on a theoretical and an
empirical level. The social costs associated with environmental
taxes are analysed and the impacts of a Swedish carbon tax are
calculated by means of a static numerical model. Taxes on carbon,
nitrogen and fertilisers are also examined. The authors find that
the level of unemployment cannot be decreased by revenue neutral
environmental taxes without any social costs and conclude that
there are no easy ways to achieve full employment, a budget surplus
and environmental sustainability. They conclude that further
understanding of the functioning of the labour market, household
decisions and the link between change in pollutant emissions and
environmental damage is needed in order to make more concrete
suggestions concerning ecological tax reforms. Green Taxes will be
of immense use to academics and practitioners in the field of
environmental economics.
