On the Double Dividend under Imperfect Competition

Environmental and Resource Economics, 2004
We investigate whether, and under which conditions, a revenue-neutral environmental tax reform may yield an employment double dividend, i.e., an improvement of environmental quality and an increase in aggregate employment. Using a model with two market imperfections – a rigid real wage and imperfect competition in one industry – we show that an ...

Double Dividend

2013
A rigorous and innovative approach for integrating environmental policies and fiscal reform for the U.S. economy. Energy utilization, especially from fossil fuels, creates hidden costs in the form of pollution and environmental damages. The costs are well documented but are hidden in the sense that they occur outside the market, are not ...

The Green Dividend Dilemma: Carbon Dividends Versus Double-Dividends

FEDS Notes, 2019
By raising the price of carbon-emitting energy sources, a carbon tax would flexibly incentivize households and businesses to reduce fossil fuel consumption and substitute towards cleaner energy sources. A carbon tax would also generate a substantial stream of government revenue. This raises an important question – how should this revenue be used?

Environmental Taxes and the Double Dividend

Empirica, 1998
This paper investigates the employment and welfare effects of an environmental tax reform, i.e. raising environmental taxes and using the revenues to cut labor taxes. The analysis reveals that such a reform does not necessarily raise employment: it may replace explicit labor taxes by higher implicit taxes on labor.

2006
This paper deals with the welfare analysis of green tax reforms. The aims of this paper are to highlight misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature, to specify which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to each dividend, and then, to propose a definition for the first dividend and the second dividend ...

Reflections on the Double Dividend Debate

Environmental and Resource Economics, 1998
We survey the history of carbon taxation, the range of market-based instruments (MBIs) of environmental control, and the state of the double dividend debate, in order to suggest directions for future research into MBIs. Returning MBI revenues as lower distortionary taxes rather than as lump sums raises aggregate welfare, but we favour MBIs which raise ...

Is a Double Dividend Better than a Single Dividend?

Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics, 2009
It has been argued that the revenue-raising (RR) environmental policies are more efficient than the non-revenue-raising (NRR) policies because of the revenue-recycling effect. When the goal of the environmental protection is subject to the influence of interest groups, we find that the NRR policies may be more efficient than the RR policies.

Dividends, Distortion and Double Taxation

Abacus, 1983
It is often claimed the double taxation inherent in the classical system of corporate taxation imposes an extra tax burden on corporate income and causes undesirable distortions in economic behaviour. In anticipation of suggestions for reform, consequent upon a major inquiry into the Australian financial system, this paper questions several of the ...

Uncertainty and the Double Dividend Hypothesis

2007
This paper examines the double dividend hypothesis in the presence of labour income uncertainty. Empirical evidence shows that uncertainty over labour income is particularly significant in developing, while not negligible in developed countries. Under uncertainty, and assuming incomplete capital markets, the tax system plays a role in providing social ...
