This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a collection of papers on economic incentives and environmental policies which result from the authors' joint research work in the program `Environment, Science and Society', conducted under the auspices of the European Science Foundation, with whose cooperation the book has been published. The work concentrates on the scientific and methodological aspects of the development, implementation and evaluation of economic instruments at a national level. The research is both theoretical and empirical. At a theoretical level attention is given to the dynamics of instrument choice in various political and economic contexts, and to the means for evaluating economic instruments in terms of their effectiveness and efficiency. At an empirical level the research seeks to investigate the performance of economic instruments in reality and to explore options for new approaches on the interface between technology, economy and the environment. A subject index complements this first volume in the ESF `Environment, Science and Society' series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Whilst green taxes face new challenges, there is now an accumulated international experience on which to reflect. This new collection of papers, providing material for further vigorous argument, evinces a keen appreciation of these realities. I recommend this generally very readable book as a helpful reflection of some recent key concerns in the environmental policy area. It constitutes a welcome addition to the literature, inviting critical responses from the specialist, but also drawing in the newcomer to the subject.' – John Snape, University of Warwick, UK 'The level of public and political debate on carbon taxes is low. Politicians fear the impact of a carbon tax on businesses and low income groups, as well as on their popularity among voters. This valuable book studies carbon taxes from many angles with ample attention paid to practical examples and shows that a smartly designed carbon tax is an indispensable instrument in the transition to a less carbon dependent economy.' – Jonathan Verschuuren, The University of Sydney, Australia and Tilburg University, The Netherlands Containing an authoritative set of original essays, Environmental Taxation and Climate Change provides fresh insights and analysis on how environmental sustainability can be achieved through fiscal policy. Written by distinguished environmental taxation scholars from around the world, this timely volume covers a range of hotly debated subjects including carbon related taxation in OECD countries, implications of environmental tax reforms, innovative environmental taxation and behavioural strategies, as well as many other relevant topics. This up-to-date and well-informed book will appeal to policymakers in government as well as students, researchers and academics in environmental law and other academic disciplines.

Download or read book Green Taxation in Question written by C. Daugbjerg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-10-16 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental economists have in general paid little or no attention to the political context within which green taxation would be introduced. In order to understand the real-life politics of green taxation, it is necessary to establish which political constraints determine the actual design of green taxes. Daugbjerg and Svendsen identify rent-seeking, party politics, and policy networks as the three main constraints in environmental regulation. This analysis forms the basis of policy recommendations on the future design of green taxation and international permit trading. Even though these policy recommendations are second best in strict economic terms, they are the best economic designs given that they must be politically feasible.

Book excerpt: Promoting sustainability means working to ensure that our society, economy, and businesses have the necessary means to continue for future generations. A patchwork of state efforts meets with varying levels of success and only has a limited effect in ensuring that as a nation, the United States makes a steady commitment to sustain the vitality of the environment for generations to come. While the private sector undoubtedly has a vital role to play in ensuring a sustainable economy, it can best do so with the aid of a clear, coherent federal policy. Although particular aspects of green tax systems vary, a common element is the use of tax incentives and taxes/penalties as a tool to achieve national environmental and sustainability policy goals. Organizing and classifying tax incentives and penalties as part of a green tax system is a relatively new phenomenon. As policy tools, green tax incentives and green taxes/penalties aim to influence the behavior of consumers and corporations to encourage them to act in a more sustainable and environmentally responsible manner. Recognizing that corporations play a major role in contributing to environmental and sustainability problems and solutions, a green tax system encourages, and in some cases forces, corporations to participate in the process of improving energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and contributing broadly to the development of sustainability policies and programs. Part I of this article provides an overview of some of the inconsistent state and local non-tax sustainability efforts and tax efforts that have developed in the void created by the lack of cohesive federal action to promote behavioral changes. Parts II and III focus on federal tax policies. Part II discusses the role that federal tax incentives have played and should continue to play in ensuring a sustainable future. Part III then provides a look at an underutilized aspect of the U.S. federal tax system in this regard - green taxes. Part IV provides an overview of how countries such as France, Japan, China, and the United Kingdom have successfully integrated the use of tax penalties into their tax systems to achieve success in promoting sustainability. Drawing on these international experiences, Part V proposes that what the United States requires to be a leader in sustainability efforts is a federal tax policy that eliminates subsidies that discourage sustainability and increasingly employs the use of federal tax penalties. This article concludes that reform of the federal tax system could be the single policy arena with the greatest potential to encourage economic activity that creates wealth and well-being while not destroying ecological life support systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental taxes differ from each other according to the functions they serve and the manner in which they are implemented. This study highlights the appropriateness of different kinds of environmental taxes against a rigorous framework of theory and case study evidence. The purpose of this book is to analyse the way in which environmental taxes are categorized and which factors affect the effectiveness and efficiency of the different kinds of environmental taxes in practice. This pragmatic approach is emphasized along with the multiplicity of regulatory problems such as: At what level should the environmental tax rate be set? What is the proper time schedule for introducing an environmental tax? What are the most appropriate taxable characteristics and how should they be determined? What activities should be exempt from environmental taxation? How can tax relief be implemented? These are only some of the regulatory problems explored in this study, which also encompasses an examination of the theory of regulation. The author argues that economists have often paid too little attention to the administrative and legal issues concerning the implementation of legislation, such as environmental tax laws, which are of course vital to the success of any potential policy. Lawyers too have in turn neglected the theory of regulation, which would assist in analyising problems in a future-oriented way. Environmental taxes will therefore be of great interest to a wide audience of environmental economists, law and economics scholars as well as policymakers.--Back cover.
