摘要:

中国面临环境保护与经济发展双重压力,兼顾环境保护与经济发展的环境政策研究具有重要意义。通过在内生死亡率交叠世代模型中引入环境与寿命的关系,本文建立了考虑环境与寿命关系的内生经济增长模型,得到了环境税制度下经济动态路径,讨论了最优环境税问题。运用中国数据的数值分析展示了使稳态下社会总产出水平最大的最优环境税。本文的贡献是在环境税的研究中引入了环境与寿命的关系,并得到了使稳态下社会总产出水平最大的最优环境税。

Abstract:

China suffers double pressure from environmental protection and economic development. Environmental policies that take economic development into consideration are very important. Introducing the relationship between environment and life expectancy into the endogenous mortality two-period overlapping generation model, we build an endogenous economics model with environment and life expectancy. Solving the model, we obtain the economic growth path considering the environmental tax, with which the optimal environmental tax is further discussed. Employing the data in China, the simulations show that:there is an optimal environmental tax which maximizes the steady output. Besides, the implementation of environmental tax system will lead to economic recession in the short term. Our novelty is that we take the relationship between environment and life expectancy into consideration when studying environmental tax, and solving an optimal environmental tax which gives consideration to both environmental protection and economic development.

Key words: OLG model, optimal environmental tax, economic development, environment, life expectancy
