Two carbontax scenarios are compared with the base case. For a 10 per cent reduction in every period, a unit carbontax of 18 to 20 yuan per ton is required. Investing carbontax revenues in carbon-abating technologies can give substantial carbon savings. Holding regional real government and corporate savings constant, additional carbontax revenue is distributed back to households. On the other hand, the choice of substitution elasticities among productive inputs and the rule used for redistributing carbontax revenue do influence the results. The results show that a carbontax would have limited effectiveness in controlling carbon emissions. We examine the impact of a carbontax on carbon emissions and growth in the economy. The above expressions show that the economic welfare of country 2 will be adversely affected by the carbontax. With few sectors, substitution possibilities are inherently limited in response to a carbontax, raising the costs of adjustment. These results are similar to the ones derived in our study in the sensitivity analysis where all carbontax revenue is redistributed to corporations. If public health improves as expected with a carbontax, the expression is positive. In the event where the households are compensated, private welfare can improve significantly under a carbontax. In the case of global climate change, for example, a number of countries have introduced a carbontax. Their effects will therefore be similar to the effects of an actual carbontax. The integrated model can assess the combined impact of a carbontax and of investments in carbon-saving options. With a high carbontax, the reduction in carbon emissions is larger but at a higher cost. This latter reason also contributes to the higher total investment under the withfeedback carbontax scenario relative to the no-feedback carbontax scenario. In the future, a carbontax or quota may be explicit. The imposition of carbontax raises additional revenue for the government. The carbontax increases energy prices of other products that use energy, resulting in a decline in real wages. These elasticities are constant in our production functions and are therefore identical in both the base case and carbontax simulations. We are interested in comparing macroeconomic and income distributional outcomes of the carbontax policy relative to the baseline (no policy, no health feedback). Production-generated emission was lowered by around 14 per cent as a result of the carbontax. This shows up within a few years in an increase in consumption over the baseline in all of the carbontax simulations. In this study we examine an economy-wide carbontax policy. In this study, there is no offsetting of other distortionary taxes against the carbontax revenues, as the government is in a perpetual deficit. The imposition of the carbontax increases energy prices and this in turn leads to increases in the prices of other goods (relative to the numeraire, the nominal wage rate). To do this we use the model to calculate a carbontax rate that will hold carbon emissions to a given percentage of the baseline level. The domestic price of oil therefore rises relative to most other prices and imports of oil rise faster in the carbontax simulations than in the base case. The key question is whether the welfare effects of the carbontax on these and all other sectors are lessened when the health feedback is incorporated. An emission abatement policy such as a carbontax will have several indirect effects on household utility, from price effects to production and therefore employment effects. They simulate the effects of uniform emissions reductions of 5, 10, and 15 per cent from the baseline and use the model to calculate the corresponding carbontax. In our simulations, we find that to reduce emissions by 5 per cent, a unit carbontax of about 9 yuan per ton (in 1992 yuan) would be required. The change in labor supply (output from the previous step) will lead to an adjustment in the amount of labor available in the periods the carbontax is imposed. This will not be feasible in my view without some kind of economic leverage, for example in the shape of a carbontax.
