Pigouvian Carbon Tax rate: Can It Help the European Union Achieve Sustainability?
Original language description
The aim of this chapter is to argue the applicability of Pigouvian tax to negative externalities such as carbon emissions. To build a carbon-impacting tax, an analysis is performed of the fundamental rationale of Pigou's theory on internalizing external costs using taxation. Our objective is to propose an adjusted form of tax on negative externalities such as carbon emissions. We consider that the sustainability of carbon taxation depends not only its ability to internalize external cost of pollution but also the ability to enhance the transition towards sustainable sources of energy and environment friendly technologies. Following that theoretical approach, we perform an empirical analysis that estimates the impact of public spending on environment-related research and development and taxes on green innovation in OECD countries. Our results show a negative impact on green patents, which emphasizes the need to redesign the abatement policies that address environmental externalities using carbon taxation.
