1 INTRODUCTION

This paper is concerned with the welfare analysis of green tax reforms a twoshystep policy scheme consisting of setting a tax on emissions and then devoting the tax revenue to finance reductions in incentive-distorting taxes (eg labour or income taxes) As a result the government may reap a double benefit or divishydend a cleaner environment and additionally a less distorting tax system The implementation of each policy step linked to this kind of tax reform however involves efficiency costs and benefits both on the consumption of environmental and non-environmental commodities

The aims of this paper are to highlight misinterpretations of policy assessshyments 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 definishytion to the first dividend and the second dividend Therefore we take up the recent claims about the need of unambiguous and operative definitions of these dividends both for empirical purposes and policy advice Finally we analyze a green tax reform for the US economy to illustrate the advantages of our definishytions for political implementation

The case for green tax reforms is well rooted as academic research on the double dividend hypothesis within the so-called1 ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo (see Tullock 1967 Terkla 1984 Lee and Misiolek 1986 and Pearce 1991) These authors were mainly interested in the first dividend assuming that reducing disshytorting taxes results in a welfare improvement ie a positive second dividend Their analysis however was built on a partial equilibrium approach and had two important shortcomings first none of the proponents provided a full characshyterization of both dividends to allow for an unambiguous definition and policy analysis and second they failed to identify the interaction effects of environshymental taxes with other distorting taxes which might bring with some efficiency losses and would require a more general framework2

Along the 90rsquos a different strand of the literature usually known as the ldquopublic financerdquo view intended to overcome these difficulties by placing the discussion into the realm of optimal taxation in the general equilibrium framework previously developed by Sandmo (1975) (see Goulder 1995 Bovenberg 1999 and Bovenshyberg and Goulder 2002 for subsequent surveys) This line of research was

1 Schoumlb (1997) used the terms environmental and public finance view to classify the double dividend literature 2 See Goulder (1995) Parry (1995) and Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) Among others Bovenberg and de Mooij (1994) Bovenberg and Goulder (1996) and Parry (1995 1997) pointed out that the double dividend hypothesis is flawed because it ignores the taxshyinteraction effect ie by raising costs and prices environmental taxes aggravate the distorshytions of pre-existing taxes (by reducing the labor supply below its already suboptimal level)

mainly interested in the possibility of Goulder (1995)rsquos strong double dividend taking for granted that setting an environmental tax improves the welfare related with the environment ie a positive first dividend is achieved3 The main conclushysion that can be drawn from this literature is that a strong double dividend occurs under rather ldquolimitedrdquo circumstances (eg an initial non-optimal tax menu)

Yet the ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to two critiques First the fact that the strong version of the double dividend hypothesis compares the equishylibrium after the tax reform with the previous status quo instead of analysing the two policy changes (ie the new environmental tax and the recycling of reveshynues) has lead several authors to assign incorrectly efficiency costs and benefits the first dividend strictly accounts for the environment-related welfare changes after the green tax scheme is fully implemented that is the entire decrease of the externality whereas the remaining non-environmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend Consequently this definition of the second dividend considers the non-environmental benefits and costs of green tax reshyforms However the goods being levied by the environmental tax accounts for a reduction in their consumer and producer surpluses therefore i) they are costs needed to improve efficiency and ii) they should not treated as efficiency costs as some authors have done in the public finance approach who consider ldquothat an environmental tax is distortionary [which would] imply a redefinition of this term as commonly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121)4

Actually the definitions provided by the proponents of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach seem of not great help to avoid these misunderstandings For examshyple Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1994) definition of the ldquodouble dividendrdquo hyshypothesis5 focused the discussion on the behavior of the labor market considering the effects on employment as the second dividend6 Others have considered different definitions such as fiscal benefits7 economic growth in terms of GDP

3 That is whether an environmental tax reform enhances not only environmental quality but also non-environmental welfare so that gross efficiency costs are negative after substituting an environmental tax for a distortionary tax (Bovenberg 1999) 4 For example the Royal Society (2002) distinguishes four effects of green tax reforms desshycribing the tax interaction effect as ldquothe distortionary effect of the pollution tax through its effects on raising the price of polluting goodsrdquo (p 5) Accordingly Royal Society considers that an environmental tax on polluting goods reduces their consumer surpluses which represhysents an efficiency cost Another example Bovenberg (1999) denotes all gross costs as effishyciency cost 5 ldquoThe hypothesis that higher pollution taxes associated with more environmental concern would not only improve the environment but also boost employment (and hence the tax base)rdquo 6 See for example Bossier and Breacutechet (1995) Kuper (1996) Carraro Galeotti and Gallo (1996) Majocchi (1996) Ligthart and Van Der Ploeg (1999) Jansen and Klaassen (2000) or Bayındır-Upmann (2004) 7 For example Morris Reacuteveacutesz Zalai and Fucskoacute (1999)

and consumption8 increased output and economic welfare9 or a mixture of them10 These vague definitions noted also in Pezzey and Park (1998 p 545) may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessments since it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reforms11 in addition some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005) recognize the difficulty to undertake an emshypirical analysis of the double dividend as long as ldquothere is no lsquostandardrsquo definition of the double dividend (or a standard method of recycling environmental tax revenues) in the literaturerdquo (p 566-567) and claim for ldquothe choice of an operashytive definition of the double dividend to be kept constant throughout our [emshypirical] analysesrdquo (p 576)

The second critique deals with the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions account for a global accepshytance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environmental tax or the need to reform the tax system Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent so the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend As a consequence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a criterion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis As Goulder (1994) noted a posishytive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system abstracting from any environmental concern12

Clearly these two previous critiques could have been avoided with an unamshybiguous definition for both dividends that did not create confusion among comshypeting policy objectives namely to reduce the level of an externality and to alleviate the tax distortions provoked by the fiscal system

The present paper aims to clarify the debate about what should be included as efficiency benefits and costs in the measurement of the environmental and second dividend In tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conshy

8 See Garbaccio Ho and Jorgenson (1999) 9 See Jorgensen and Wilcoxen (1993) 10 Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1998) or Chiroleu-Assouline and Fodha (2005) 11 In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) They also recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are ineffishycient (p 1502) 12 In fact some authors like Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have recognized that the envishyronmental taxes could play an important role to ease political constraints to reform suboptishymal initial tax systems stating that ldquo[] environmental taxes are the lubricating oil that makes possible a tax reform to eliminate particularly bad taxesrdquo (pp 1507-08)

jecture the first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to houseshyholds by lump-sum transfers This first dividend comprises the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivation for the environmental policy which could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos divishydend in the public finance approach13 On the other hand the second dividend will measure the welfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers this second dividend comshyprises the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary motivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology14

The proposed definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings usually found in the double dividend literature such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms Second our definitions of the first and second dividends provide inshyformation by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes In fact these definishytions could be considered as a reformulation of Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis15 which compares two policy changes with difshyferent recycling options In addition Goulder (1995)rsquos strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this paper

For illustration purposes we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerishycal example for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax We show that alternative definitions for both dividends arrive to very different conclusions following the public finance approach we might conshyclude that the green tax reform improves welfare but there is a negative second

13 It could be interpreted also in terms of Pigoursquos taxes in opposition to Ramseyrsquos taxes This terminology have been extensively used in the literature See for example Mayeres and Proost (1997) or Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) 14 Interestinlgy this definition was already writen in Mayeres and Proost (1997 footnote 12) but as a result of a misinterpretation of Goulder (1995)rsquos terminology There are several problems with Mayeres and Proost (1997)rsquos terminology (i) the absence of a proper definishytion (ii) it is not clear if their first dividend includes only welfare effects related to changes in the externalities only and (iii) we can not be sure what they are really measuring by their first and second dividend in their empirical exercise when we compare explanations in main text Table 2a and footnote 15 That is efficiency costs of a revenue-neutral environmental tax reform are lower if the additional revenues from the environmental taxes are recycled in the form of lower distorshytionary taxes compared to the case that these revenues are recycled in a lump-sum fashion

dividend as expected However we found a positive double dividend when we use the new definition proposed in this paper

The paper develops through the following sections In Section 2 we present the Pareto-optimal allocation and the competitive equilibrium in our general equilibrium framework A feature of the model is that it allows to understand the magnitude of the inefficiency of market allocation of resources in the presence of externalities and to compare the results (even graphically) in a general equishylibrium setting with those found in well-known standard partial equilibrium analysis Section 3 is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends in a general equilibrium set-up It presents the competing approaches in the double dividend literature and shows that the public finance view overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes As a consequence this section proposes a definition for the first and second dividends Section 4 carries out a numerical example for the US economy showing that a positive double dividend could be possible as opposed to the public finance approach to conclude that the green tax reform will raise gross efficiency costs Finally Section 5 summarizes conclusions and policy implications

2 THE SOCIAL OPTIMUM AND THE DECENTRALIZED ALLOCATION

This section presents a framework to determine the social optimum and the decentralized market equilibrium allocation of resources with externalities This will be the benchmark set-up for further discussion on green tax reforms along subsequent sections One contribution of this section is to establish the corresponshydence between the well-known partial equilibrium and the general equilibrium counterpart through a graphical analysis

We develop a static rational general equilibrium model with an externality There are two types of agents heterogeneous households in preferences and firms There are a number of perfectly price-taker competitive firms and a techshynology with constant returns of scale therefore a single aggregate polluting firm could be considered Labor N is the only input required to produce a private good Y =F( )N and pollution E = Λ( ( )F N ) This formulation recognizes the complemenshytary relationship between the production of the private good Y and emissions E We will consider this relationship to be represented by a real monotonically inshycreasing function Λ( ) Hence the production function can be considered a

( ) ( ( ) F N )homomorphic function Ψ on R2 + such that Ψ N = YE) = (F N Λ( ( ))

Each household h is endowed with T units of time (eg hours per year) that are allocated between working time n h and leisure time l h The model is static

mdash 11 mdash

so there are neither savings nor capital accumulation Households enhance welshyfare by consuming the private good c h and leisure time l h and in addition the pollution E produced by firms affects each negatively Their preferences are represented by a twice-differentiable continuous utility function U h = (c hl hE) verifying partUh partc partUh partl are positive and partUh partE is negative and part2Uh partc2 and part2 U h part l 2 are negative while part 2U h partE2 part2Uh partcpart l and part2Uh part lpartc are positive16

where λ and micro are the positive Lagrangian multipliers namely the former represhysents the social marginal utility from individual consumption of the private good whereas the latter stands for the social marginal utility from pollution Under

16 The complementarity or substitutability relationship between pollution and consumption or leisure may be crucial in certain results First pollution could be considered a source of agentsrsquo diseases not related to the other variables In this case eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h c ( ( )U ( lh E)= u c lh )+ v E pollution has no effect on labor supply Second pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of leisure since agents cannot carry out certain activities (eg swimshyming in polluted rivers etc) Hence a complementarity relation to leisure could be taken

h h h heg as U (c lh E)= c + v (lh E) Finally pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of consumpshytion (eg deterioration of consumerrsquos health illness) Therefore a complementarity relation

h h h h hto consumption could be for example U (c lh E)= v (c E)+ l In the last two cases labor supply and its slope are affected by an increase of pollution

this condition the marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumpshytion equals the marginal productivity of labor at the optimum In other words an individual supplying one extra unit of working time increases production and their consumption but also it rises the environmental damages suffered by society which the social planner must internalize

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

wh hincome restriction c = (T minus l ) where the real wage is w There is not a P P

market for pollution therefore competitive firms do not care about the extershynality and each household takes the amount of pollution as given Then we find

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

[EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

Figure 2 provides some hints about the amount of external costs in our general equilibrium setup The term σ(E) which is the difference between ϕ ( )E ϕ( ) is the marginal damage from one extra unit of labor suppliedand ˆ E

by agent h Thus the area (integral) between these two functions in the ˆrange [EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs Thereshy

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

⎡ 2 h h ( ) h ⎤h h ⎢part U (c E l ( )( ) ( ) E E) partlpartE part2U h (c h ( ) E l h ( )E E partcpartE ⎥MRS E = MRS E minus

) (3)⎢ ⎢ partU h (c h ( )E l h h ) ⎥⎣ ( )E E partl partU h (c ( )E l h ( )E E) partc ⎥⎦

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

h=1 h=1 h=1

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

and t =micro but we presume positive tax rates uniform across all individuals HoweverAn en-

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

h h h ρu ρuU (c l E)= [αC + (1minus α)l minus φE

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

mdash 26 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

ABSTRACT

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 divishydend and the second dividend

We found the Pigoursquos dividend more appropiate for policy guidance in conshytrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend usually found in mainstream literature Thereshyfore we take up some authorsrsquo recent claims about the need of unambiguous and operative definitions of these dividends both for empirical purposes and political advice

Finally the paper analyzes a green tax reform for the US economy to illusshytrate the advantages of our definitions for policy assessment The new definishytions proposed in this paper i) overcome some shortcoming of the mainstream current definitions in the literature regarding overestimation of the efficiency costs and ii) provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture

1 INTRODUCTION

This paper is concerned with the welfare analysis of green tax reforms a twoshystep policy scheme consisting of setting a tax on emissions and then devoting the tax revenue to finance reductions in incentive-distorting taxes (eg labour or income taxes) As a result the government may reap a double benefit or divishydend a cleaner environment and additionally a less distorting tax system The implementation of each policy step linked to this kind of tax reform however involves efficiency costs and benefits both on the consumption of environmental and non-environmental commodities

The aims of this paper are to highlight misinterpretations of policy assessshyments 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 definishytion to the first dividend and the second dividend Therefore we take up the recent claims about the need of unambiguous and operative definitions of these dividends both for empirical purposes and policy advice Finally we analyze a green tax reform for the US economy to illustrate the advantages of our definishytions for political implementation

The case for green tax reforms is well rooted as academic research on the double dividend hypothesis within the so-called1 ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo (see Tullock 1967 Terkla 1984 Lee and Misiolek 1986 and Pearce 1991) These authors were mainly interested in the first dividend assuming that reducing disshytorting taxes results in a welfare improvement ie a positive second dividend Their analysis however was built on a partial equilibrium approach and had two important shortcomings first none of the proponents provided a full characshyterization of both dividends to allow for an unambiguous definition and policy analysis and second they failed to identify the interaction effects of environshymental taxes with other distorting taxes which might bring with some efficiency losses and would require a more general framework2

Along the 90rsquos a different strand of the literature usually known as the ldquopublic financerdquo view intended to overcome these difficulties by placing the discussion into the realm of optimal taxation in the general equilibrium framework previously developed by Sandmo (1975) (see Goulder 1995 Bovenberg 1999 and Bovenshyberg and Goulder 2002 for subsequent surveys) This line of research was

1 Schoumlb (1997) used the terms environmental and public finance view to classify the double dividend literature 2 See Goulder (1995) Parry (1995) and Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) Among others Bovenberg and de Mooij (1994) Bovenberg and Goulder (1996) and Parry (1995 1997) pointed out that the double dividend hypothesis is flawed because it ignores the taxshyinteraction effect ie by raising costs and prices environmental taxes aggravate the distorshytions of pre-existing taxes (by reducing the labor supply below its already suboptimal level)

mainly interested in the possibility of Goulder (1995)rsquos strong double dividend taking for granted that setting an environmental tax improves the welfare related with the environment ie a positive first dividend is achieved3 The main conclushysion that can be drawn from this literature is that a strong double dividend occurs under rather ldquolimitedrdquo circumstances (eg an initial non-optimal tax menu)

Yet the ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to two critiques First the fact that the strong version of the double dividend hypothesis compares the equishylibrium after the tax reform with the previous status quo instead of analysing the two policy changes (ie the new environmental tax and the recycling of reveshynues) has lead several authors to assign incorrectly efficiency costs and benefits the first dividend strictly accounts for the environment-related welfare changes after the green tax scheme is fully implemented that is the entire decrease of the externality whereas the remaining non-environmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend Consequently this definition of the second dividend considers the non-environmental benefits and costs of green tax reshyforms However the goods being levied by the environmental tax accounts for a reduction in their consumer and producer surpluses therefore i) they are costs needed to improve efficiency and ii) they should not treated as efficiency costs as some authors have done in the public finance approach who consider ldquothat an environmental tax is distortionary [which would] imply a redefinition of this term as commonly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121)4

Actually the definitions provided by the proponents of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach seem of not great help to avoid these misunderstandings For examshyple Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1994) definition of the ldquodouble dividendrdquo hyshypothesis5 focused the discussion on the behavior of the labor market considering the effects on employment as the second dividend6 Others have considered different definitions such as fiscal benefits7 economic growth in terms of GDP

3 That is whether an environmental tax reform enhances not only environmental quality but also non-environmental welfare so that gross efficiency costs are negative after substituting an environmental tax for a distortionary tax (Bovenberg 1999) 4 For example the Royal Society (2002) distinguishes four effects of green tax reforms desshycribing the tax interaction effect as ldquothe distortionary effect of the pollution tax through its effects on raising the price of polluting goodsrdquo (p 5) Accordingly Royal Society considers that an environmental tax on polluting goods reduces their consumer surpluses which represhysents an efficiency cost Another example Bovenberg (1999) denotes all gross costs as effishyciency cost 5 ldquoThe hypothesis that higher pollution taxes associated with more environmental concern would not only improve the environment but also boost employment (and hence the tax base)rdquo 6 See for example Bossier and Breacutechet (1995) Kuper (1996) Carraro Galeotti and Gallo (1996) Majocchi (1996) Ligthart and Van Der Ploeg (1999) Jansen and Klaassen (2000) or Bayındır-Upmann (2004) 7 For example Morris Reacuteveacutesz Zalai and Fucskoacute (1999)

and consumption8 increased output and economic welfare9 or a mixture of them10 These vague definitions noted also in Pezzey and Park (1998 p 545) may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessments since it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reforms11 in addition some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005) recognize the difficulty to undertake an emshypirical analysis of the double dividend as long as ldquothere is no lsquostandardrsquo definition of the double dividend (or a standard method of recycling environmental tax revenues) in the literaturerdquo (p 566-567) and claim for ldquothe choice of an operashytive definition of the double dividend to be kept constant throughout our [emshypirical] analysesrdquo (p 576)

The second critique deals with the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions account for a global accepshytance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environmental tax or the need to reform the tax system Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent so the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend As a consequence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a criterion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis As Goulder (1994) noted a posishytive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system abstracting from any environmental concern12

Clearly these two previous critiques could have been avoided with an unamshybiguous definition for both dividends that did not create confusion among comshypeting policy objectives namely to reduce the level of an externality and to alleviate the tax distortions provoked by the fiscal system

The present paper aims to clarify the debate about what should be included as efficiency benefits and costs in the measurement of the environmental and second dividend In tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conshy

8 See Garbaccio Ho and Jorgenson (1999) 9 See Jorgensen and Wilcoxen (1993) 10 Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1998) or Chiroleu-Assouline and Fodha (2005) 11 In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) They also recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are ineffishycient (p 1502) 12 In fact some authors like Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have recognized that the envishyronmental taxes could play an important role to ease political constraints to reform suboptishymal initial tax systems stating that ldquo[] environmental taxes are the lubricating oil that makes possible a tax reform to eliminate particularly bad taxesrdquo (pp 1507-08)

jecture the first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to houseshyholds by lump-sum transfers This first dividend comprises the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivation for the environmental policy which could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos divishydend in the public finance approach13 On the other hand the second dividend will measure the welfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers this second dividend comshyprises the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary motivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology14

The proposed definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings usually found in the double dividend literature such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms Second our definitions of the first and second dividends provide inshyformation by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes In fact these definishytions could be considered as a reformulation of Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis15 which compares two policy changes with difshyferent recycling options In addition Goulder (1995)rsquos strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this paper

For illustration purposes we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerishycal example for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax We show that alternative definitions for both dividends arrive to very different conclusions following the public finance approach we might conshyclude that the green tax reform improves welfare but there is a negative second

13 It could be interpreted also in terms of Pigoursquos taxes in opposition to Ramseyrsquos taxes This terminology have been extensively used in the literature See for example Mayeres and Proost (1997) or Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) 14 Interestinlgy this definition was already writen in Mayeres and Proost (1997 footnote 12) but as a result of a misinterpretation of Goulder (1995)rsquos terminology There are several problems with Mayeres and Proost (1997)rsquos terminology (i) the absence of a proper definishytion (ii) it is not clear if their first dividend includes only welfare effects related to changes in the externalities only and (iii) we can not be sure what they are really measuring by their first and second dividend in their empirical exercise when we compare explanations in main text Table 2a and footnote 15 That is efficiency costs of a revenue-neutral environmental tax reform are lower if the additional revenues from the environmental taxes are recycled in the form of lower distorshytionary taxes compared to the case that these revenues are recycled in a lump-sum fashion

dividend as expected However we found a positive double dividend when we use the new definition proposed in this paper

The paper develops through the following sections In Section 2 we present the Pareto-optimal allocation and the competitive equilibrium in our general equilibrium framework A feature of the model is that it allows to understand the magnitude of the inefficiency of market allocation of resources in the presence of externalities and to compare the results (even graphically) in a general equishylibrium setting with those found in well-known standard partial equilibrium analysis Section 3 is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends in a general equilibrium set-up It presents the competing approaches in the double dividend literature and shows that the public finance view overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes As a consequence this section proposes a definition for the first and second dividends Section 4 carries out a numerical example for the US economy showing that a positive double dividend could be possible as opposed to the public finance approach to conclude that the green tax reform will raise gross efficiency costs Finally Section 5 summarizes conclusions and policy implications

2 THE SOCIAL OPTIMUM AND THE DECENTRALIZED ALLOCATION

This section presents a framework to determine the social optimum and the decentralized market equilibrium allocation of resources with externalities This will be the benchmark set-up for further discussion on green tax reforms along subsequent sections One contribution of this section is to establish the corresponshydence between the well-known partial equilibrium and the general equilibrium counterpart through a graphical analysis

We develop a static rational general equilibrium model with an externality There are two types of agents heterogeneous households in preferences and firms There are a number of perfectly price-taker competitive firms and a techshynology with constant returns of scale therefore a single aggregate polluting firm could be considered Labor N is the only input required to produce a private good Y =F( )N and pollution E = Λ( ( )F N ) This formulation recognizes the complemenshytary relationship between the production of the private good Y and emissions E We will consider this relationship to be represented by a real monotonically inshycreasing function Λ( ) Hence the production function can be considered a

( ) ( ( ) F N )homomorphic function Ψ on R2 + such that Ψ N = YE) = (F N Λ( ( ))

Each household h is endowed with T units of time (eg hours per year) that are allocated between working time n h and leisure time l h The model is static

mdash 11 mdash

so there are neither savings nor capital accumulation Households enhance welshyfare by consuming the private good c h and leisure time l h and in addition the pollution E produced by firms affects each negatively Their preferences are represented by a twice-differentiable continuous utility function U h = (c hl hE) verifying partUh partc partUh partl are positive and partUh partE is negative and part2Uh partc2 and part2 U h part l 2 are negative while part 2U h partE2 part2Uh partcpart l and part2Uh part lpartc are positive16

16 The complementarity or substitutability relationship between pollution and consumption or leisure may be crucial in certain results First pollution could be considered a source of agentsrsquo diseases not related to the other variables In this case eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h c ( ( )U ( lh E)= u c lh )+ v E pollution has no effect on labor supply Second pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of leisure since agents cannot carry out certain activities (eg swimshyming in polluted rivers etc) Hence a complementarity relation to leisure could be taken

h h h heg as U (c lh E)= c + v (lh E) Finally pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of consumpshytion (eg deterioration of consumerrsquos health illness) Therefore a complementarity relation

h h h h hto consumption could be for example U (c lh E)= v (c E)+ l In the last two cases labor supply and its slope are affected by an increase of pollution

this condition the marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumpshytion equals the marginal productivity of labor at the optimum In other words an individual supplying one extra unit of working time increases production and their consumption but also it rises the environmental damages suffered by society which the social planner must internalize

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

[EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

sumH w H H

T h = tE E + t Psum

h=1 h=1 h=1

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

w In the benchmark case the social 0 0 0 0welfare level is given by U(0τ )= u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] + v[E(0τ )] whereas

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

mdash 20 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

24 We suppose a constant technical relationship between consumption of energy and emisshysions At the benchmark data the consumption of one dollar of energy generates 0026787394 tons of carbon emitted to the atmosphere

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

households transfers are

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

1 INTRODUCTION

This paper is concerned with the welfare analysis of green tax reforms a twoshystep policy scheme consisting of setting a tax on emissions and then devoting the tax revenue to finance reductions in incentive-distorting taxes (eg labour or income taxes) As a result the government may reap a double benefit or divishydend a cleaner environment and additionally a less distorting tax system The implementation of each policy step linked to this kind of tax reform however involves efficiency costs and benefits both on the consumption of environmental and non-environmental commodities

The aims of this paper are to highlight misinterpretations of policy assessshyments 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 definishytion to the first dividend and the second dividend Therefore we take up the recent claims about the need of unambiguous and operative definitions of these dividends both for empirical purposes and policy advice Finally we analyze a green tax reform for the US economy to illustrate the advantages of our definishytions for political implementation

The case for green tax reforms is well rooted as academic research on the double dividend hypothesis within the so-called1 ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo (see Tullock 1967 Terkla 1984 Lee and Misiolek 1986 and Pearce 1991) These authors were mainly interested in the first dividend assuming that reducing disshytorting taxes results in a welfare improvement ie a positive second dividend Their analysis however was built on a partial equilibrium approach and had two important shortcomings first none of the proponents provided a full characshyterization of both dividends to allow for an unambiguous definition and policy analysis and second they failed to identify the interaction effects of environshymental taxes with other distorting taxes which might bring with some efficiency losses and would require a more general framework2

Along the 90rsquos a different strand of the literature usually known as the ldquopublic financerdquo view intended to overcome these difficulties by placing the discussion into the realm of optimal taxation in the general equilibrium framework previously developed by Sandmo (1975) (see Goulder 1995 Bovenberg 1999 and Bovenshyberg and Goulder 2002 for subsequent surveys) This line of research was

1 Schoumlb (1997) used the terms environmental and public finance view to classify the double dividend literature 2 See Goulder (1995) Parry (1995) and Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) Among others Bovenberg and de Mooij (1994) Bovenberg and Goulder (1996) and Parry (1995 1997) pointed out that the double dividend hypothesis is flawed because it ignores the taxshyinteraction effect ie by raising costs and prices environmental taxes aggravate the distorshytions of pre-existing taxes (by reducing the labor supply below its already suboptimal level)

mdash 7 mdash

mainly interested in the possibility of Goulder (1995)rsquos strong double dividend taking for granted that setting an environmental tax improves the welfare related with the environment ie a positive first dividend is achieved3 The main conclushysion that can be drawn from this literature is that a strong double dividend occurs under rather ldquolimitedrdquo circumstances (eg an initial non-optimal tax menu)

Yet the ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to two critiques First the fact that the strong version of the double dividend hypothesis compares the equishylibrium after the tax reform with the previous status quo instead of analysing the two policy changes (ie the new environmental tax and the recycling of reveshynues) has lead several authors to assign incorrectly efficiency costs and benefits the first dividend strictly accounts for the environment-related welfare changes after the green tax scheme is fully implemented that is the entire decrease of the externality whereas the remaining non-environmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend Consequently this definition of the second dividend considers the non-environmental benefits and costs of green tax reshyforms However the goods being levied by the environmental tax accounts for a reduction in their consumer and producer surpluses therefore i) they are costs needed to improve efficiency and ii) they should not treated as efficiency costs as some authors have done in the public finance approach who consider ldquothat an environmental tax is distortionary [which would] imply a redefinition of this term as commonly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121)4

Actually the definitions provided by the proponents of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach seem of not great help to avoid these misunderstandings For examshyple Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1994) definition of the ldquodouble dividendrdquo hyshypothesis5 focused the discussion on the behavior of the labor market considering the effects on employment as the second dividend6 Others have considered different definitions such as fiscal benefits7 economic growth in terms of GDP

3 That is whether an environmental tax reform enhances not only environmental quality but also non-environmental welfare so that gross efficiency costs are negative after substituting an environmental tax for a distortionary tax (Bovenberg 1999) 4 For example the Royal Society (2002) distinguishes four effects of green tax reforms desshycribing the tax interaction effect as ldquothe distortionary effect of the pollution tax through its effects on raising the price of polluting goodsrdquo (p 5) Accordingly Royal Society considers that an environmental tax on polluting goods reduces their consumer surpluses which represhysents an efficiency cost Another example Bovenberg (1999) denotes all gross costs as effishyciency cost 5 ldquoThe hypothesis that higher pollution taxes associated with more environmental concern would not only improve the environment but also boost employment (and hence the tax base)rdquo 6 See for example Bossier and Breacutechet (1995) Kuper (1996) Carraro Galeotti and Gallo (1996) Majocchi (1996) Ligthart and Van Der Ploeg (1999) Jansen and Klaassen (2000) or Bayındır-Upmann (2004) 7 For example Morris Reacuteveacutesz Zalai and Fucskoacute (1999)

and consumption8 increased output and economic welfare9 or a mixture of them10 These vague definitions noted also in Pezzey and Park (1998 p 545) may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessments since it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reforms11 in addition some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005) recognize the difficulty to undertake an emshypirical analysis of the double dividend as long as ldquothere is no lsquostandardrsquo definition of the double dividend (or a standard method of recycling environmental tax revenues) in the literaturerdquo (p 566-567) and claim for ldquothe choice of an operashytive definition of the double dividend to be kept constant throughout our [emshypirical] analysesrdquo (p 576)

The second critique deals with the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions account for a global accepshytance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environmental tax or the need to reform the tax system Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent so the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend As a consequence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a criterion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis As Goulder (1994) noted a posishytive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system abstracting from any environmental concern12

Clearly these two previous critiques could have been avoided with an unamshybiguous definition for both dividends that did not create confusion among comshypeting policy objectives namely to reduce the level of an externality and to alleviate the tax distortions provoked by the fiscal system

The present paper aims to clarify the debate about what should be included as efficiency benefits and costs in the measurement of the environmental and second dividend In tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conshy

8 See Garbaccio Ho and Jorgenson (1999) 9 See Jorgensen and Wilcoxen (1993) 10 Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1998) or Chiroleu-Assouline and Fodha (2005) 11 In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) They also recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are ineffishycient (p 1502) 12 In fact some authors like Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have recognized that the envishyronmental taxes could play an important role to ease political constraints to reform suboptishymal initial tax systems stating that ldquo[] environmental taxes are the lubricating oil that makes possible a tax reform to eliminate particularly bad taxesrdquo (pp 1507-08)

jecture the first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to houseshyholds by lump-sum transfers This first dividend comprises the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivation for the environmental policy which could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos divishydend in the public finance approach13 On the other hand the second dividend will measure the welfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers this second dividend comshyprises the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary motivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology14

The proposed definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings usually found in the double dividend literature such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms Second our definitions of the first and second dividends provide inshyformation by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes In fact these definishytions could be considered as a reformulation of Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis15 which compares two policy changes with difshyferent recycling options In addition Goulder (1995)rsquos strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this paper

For illustration purposes we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerishycal example for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax We show that alternative definitions for both dividends arrive to very different conclusions following the public finance approach we might conshyclude that the green tax reform improves welfare but there is a negative second

13 It could be interpreted also in terms of Pigoursquos taxes in opposition to Ramseyrsquos taxes This terminology have been extensively used in the literature See for example Mayeres and Proost (1997) or Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) 14 Interestinlgy this definition was already writen in Mayeres and Proost (1997 footnote 12) but as a result of a misinterpretation of Goulder (1995)rsquos terminology There are several problems with Mayeres and Proost (1997)rsquos terminology (i) the absence of a proper definishytion (ii) it is not clear if their first dividend includes only welfare effects related to changes in the externalities only and (iii) we can not be sure what they are really measuring by their first and second dividend in their empirical exercise when we compare explanations in main text Table 2a and footnote 15 That is efficiency costs of a revenue-neutral environmental tax reform are lower if the additional revenues from the environmental taxes are recycled in the form of lower distorshytionary taxes compared to the case that these revenues are recycled in a lump-sum fashion

dividend as expected However we found a positive double dividend when we use the new definition proposed in this paper

The paper develops through the following sections In Section 2 we present the Pareto-optimal allocation and the competitive equilibrium in our general equilibrium framework A feature of the model is that it allows to understand the magnitude of the inefficiency of market allocation of resources in the presence of externalities and to compare the results (even graphically) in a general equishylibrium setting with those found in well-known standard partial equilibrium analysis Section 3 is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends in a general equilibrium set-up It presents the competing approaches in the double dividend literature and shows that the public finance view overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes As a consequence this section proposes a definition for the first and second dividends Section 4 carries out a numerical example for the US economy showing that a positive double dividend could be possible as opposed to the public finance approach to conclude that the green tax reform will raise gross efficiency costs Finally Section 5 summarizes conclusions and policy implications

2 THE SOCIAL OPTIMUM AND THE DECENTRALIZED ALLOCATION

This section presents a framework to determine the social optimum and the decentralized market equilibrium allocation of resources with externalities This will be the benchmark set-up for further discussion on green tax reforms along subsequent sections One contribution of this section is to establish the corresponshydence between the well-known partial equilibrium and the general equilibrium counterpart through a graphical analysis

We develop a static rational general equilibrium model with an externality There are two types of agents heterogeneous households in preferences and firms There are a number of perfectly price-taker competitive firms and a techshynology with constant returns of scale therefore a single aggregate polluting firm could be considered Labor N is the only input required to produce a private good Y =F( )N and pollution E = Λ( ( )F N ) This formulation recognizes the complemenshytary relationship between the production of the private good Y and emissions E We will consider this relationship to be represented by a real monotonically inshycreasing function Λ( ) Hence the production function can be considered a

( ) ( ( ) F N )homomorphic function Ψ on R2 + such that Ψ N = YE) = (F N Λ( ( ))

Each household h is endowed with T units of time (eg hours per year) that are allocated between working time n h and leisure time l h The model is static

mdash 11 mdash

so there are neither savings nor capital accumulation Households enhance welshyfare by consuming the private good c h and leisure time l h and in addition the pollution E produced by firms affects each negatively Their preferences are represented by a twice-differentiable continuous utility function U h = (c hl hE) verifying partUh partc partUh partl are positive and partUh partE is negative and part2Uh partc2 and part2 U h part l 2 are negative while part 2U h partE2 part2Uh partcpart l and part2Uh part lpartc are positive16

where λ and micro are the positive Lagrangian multipliers namely the former represhysents the social marginal utility from individual consumption of the private good whereas the latter stands for the social marginal utility from pollution Under

16 The complementarity or substitutability relationship between pollution and consumption or leisure may be crucial in certain results First pollution could be considered a source of agentsrsquo diseases not related to the other variables In this case eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h c ( ( )U ( lh E)= u c lh )+ v E pollution has no effect on labor supply Second pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of leisure since agents cannot carry out certain activities (eg swimshyming in polluted rivers etc) Hence a complementarity relation to leisure could be taken

h h h heg as U (c lh E)= c + v (lh E) Finally pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of consumpshytion (eg deterioration of consumerrsquos health illness) Therefore a complementarity relation

h h h h hto consumption could be for example U (c lh E)= v (c E)+ l In the last two cases labor supply and its slope are affected by an increase of pollution

this condition the marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumpshytion equals the marginal productivity of labor at the optimum In other words an individual supplying one extra unit of working time increases production and their consumption but also it rises the environmental damages suffered by society which the social planner must internalize

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

wh hincome restriction c = (T minus l ) where the real wage is w There is not a P P

market for pollution therefore competitive firms do not care about the extershynality and each household takes the amount of pollution as given Then we find

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

[EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

Figure 2 provides some hints about the amount of external costs in our general equilibrium setup The term σ(E) which is the difference between ϕ ( )E ϕ( ) is the marginal damage from one extra unit of labor suppliedand ˆ E

by agent h Thus the area (integral) between these two functions in the ˆrange [EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs Thereshy

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

⎡ 2 h h ( ) h ⎤h h ⎢part U (c E l ( )( ) ( ) E E) partlpartE part2U h (c h ( ) E l h ( )E E partcpartE ⎥MRS E = MRS E minus

) (3)⎢ ⎢ partU h (c h ( )E l h h ) ⎥⎣ ( )E E partl partU h (c ( )E l h ( )E E) partc ⎥⎦

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

mdash 20 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

The green tax equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ1 t1 E ) The global gains or losses in

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

E )minus U(τ 00) so that a difference with a positive sign will justify its implementation

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

ABSTRACT

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 divishydend and the second dividend

We found the Pigoursquos dividend more appropiate for policy guidance in conshytrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend usually found in mainstream literature Thereshyfore we take up some authorsrsquo recent claims about the need of unambiguous and operative definitions of these dividends both for empirical purposes and political advice

Finally the paper analyzes a green tax reform for the US economy to illusshytrate the advantages of our definitions for policy assessment The new definishytions proposed in this paper i) overcome some shortcoming of the mainstream current definitions in the literature regarding overestimation of the efficiency costs and ii) provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture

1 INTRODUCTION

This paper is concerned with the welfare analysis of green tax reforms a twoshystep policy scheme consisting of setting a tax on emissions and then devoting the tax revenue to finance reductions in incentive-distorting taxes (eg labour or income taxes) As a result the government may reap a double benefit or divishydend a cleaner environment and additionally a less distorting tax system The implementation of each policy step linked to this kind of tax reform however involves efficiency costs and benefits both on the consumption of environmental and non-environmental commodities

The aims of this paper are to highlight misinterpretations of policy assessshyments 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 definishytion to the first dividend and the second dividend Therefore we take up the recent claims about the need of unambiguous and operative definitions of these dividends both for empirical purposes and policy advice Finally we analyze a green tax reform for the US economy to illustrate the advantages of our definishytions for political implementation

The case for green tax reforms is well rooted as academic research on the double dividend hypothesis within the so-called1 ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo (see Tullock 1967 Terkla 1984 Lee and Misiolek 1986 and Pearce 1991) These authors were mainly interested in the first dividend assuming that reducing disshytorting taxes results in a welfare improvement ie a positive second dividend Their analysis however was built on a partial equilibrium approach and had two important shortcomings first none of the proponents provided a full characshyterization of both dividends to allow for an unambiguous definition and policy analysis and second they failed to identify the interaction effects of environshymental taxes with other distorting taxes which might bring with some efficiency losses and would require a more general framework2

Along the 90rsquos a different strand of the literature usually known as the ldquopublic financerdquo view intended to overcome these difficulties by placing the discussion into the realm of optimal taxation in the general equilibrium framework previously developed by Sandmo (1975) (see Goulder 1995 Bovenberg 1999 and Bovenshyberg and Goulder 2002 for subsequent surveys) This line of research was

1 Schoumlb (1997) used the terms environmental and public finance view to classify the double dividend literature 2 See Goulder (1995) Parry (1995) and Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) Among others Bovenberg and de Mooij (1994) Bovenberg and Goulder (1996) and Parry (1995 1997) pointed out that the double dividend hypothesis is flawed because it ignores the taxshyinteraction effect ie by raising costs and prices environmental taxes aggravate the distorshytions of pre-existing taxes (by reducing the labor supply below its already suboptimal level)

mdash 7 mdash

mainly interested in the possibility of Goulder (1995)rsquos strong double dividend taking for granted that setting an environmental tax improves the welfare related with the environment ie a positive first dividend is achieved3 The main conclushysion that can be drawn from this literature is that a strong double dividend occurs under rather ldquolimitedrdquo circumstances (eg an initial non-optimal tax menu)

Yet the ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to two critiques First the fact that the strong version of the double dividend hypothesis compares the equishylibrium after the tax reform with the previous status quo instead of analysing the two policy changes (ie the new environmental tax and the recycling of reveshynues) has lead several authors to assign incorrectly efficiency costs and benefits the first dividend strictly accounts for the environment-related welfare changes after the green tax scheme is fully implemented that is the entire decrease of the externality whereas the remaining non-environmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend Consequently this definition of the second dividend considers the non-environmental benefits and costs of green tax reshyforms However the goods being levied by the environmental tax accounts for a reduction in their consumer and producer surpluses therefore i) they are costs needed to improve efficiency and ii) they should not treated as efficiency costs as some authors have done in the public finance approach who consider ldquothat an environmental tax is distortionary [which would] imply a redefinition of this term as commonly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121)4

Actually the definitions provided by the proponents of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach seem of not great help to avoid these misunderstandings For examshyple Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1994) definition of the ldquodouble dividendrdquo hyshypothesis5 focused the discussion on the behavior of the labor market considering the effects on employment as the second dividend6 Others have considered different definitions such as fiscal benefits7 economic growth in terms of GDP

3 That is whether an environmental tax reform enhances not only environmental quality but also non-environmental welfare so that gross efficiency costs are negative after substituting an environmental tax for a distortionary tax (Bovenberg 1999) 4 For example the Royal Society (2002) distinguishes four effects of green tax reforms desshycribing the tax interaction effect as ldquothe distortionary effect of the pollution tax through its effects on raising the price of polluting goodsrdquo (p 5) Accordingly Royal Society considers that an environmental tax on polluting goods reduces their consumer surpluses which represhysents an efficiency cost Another example Bovenberg (1999) denotes all gross costs as effishyciency cost 5 ldquoThe hypothesis that higher pollution taxes associated with more environmental concern would not only improve the environment but also boost employment (and hence the tax base)rdquo 6 See for example Bossier and Breacutechet (1995) Kuper (1996) Carraro Galeotti and Gallo (1996) Majocchi (1996) Ligthart and Van Der Ploeg (1999) Jansen and Klaassen (2000) or Bayındır-Upmann (2004) 7 For example Morris Reacuteveacutesz Zalai and Fucskoacute (1999)

and consumption8 increased output and economic welfare9 or a mixture of them10 These vague definitions noted also in Pezzey and Park (1998 p 545) may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessments since it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reforms11 in addition some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005) recognize the difficulty to undertake an emshypirical analysis of the double dividend as long as ldquothere is no lsquostandardrsquo definition of the double dividend (or a standard method of recycling environmental tax revenues) in the literaturerdquo (p 566-567) and claim for ldquothe choice of an operashytive definition of the double dividend to be kept constant throughout our [emshypirical] analysesrdquo (p 576)

The second critique deals with the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions account for a global accepshytance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environmental tax or the need to reform the tax system Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent so the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend As a consequence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a criterion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis As Goulder (1994) noted a posishytive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system abstracting from any environmental concern12

Clearly these two previous critiques could have been avoided with an unamshybiguous definition for both dividends that did not create confusion among comshypeting policy objectives namely to reduce the level of an externality and to alleviate the tax distortions provoked by the fiscal system

The present paper aims to clarify the debate about what should be included as efficiency benefits and costs in the measurement of the environmental and second dividend In tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conshy

8 See Garbaccio Ho and Jorgenson (1999) 9 See Jorgensen and Wilcoxen (1993) 10 Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1998) or Chiroleu-Assouline and Fodha (2005) 11 In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) They also recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are ineffishycient (p 1502) 12 In fact some authors like Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have recognized that the envishyronmental taxes could play an important role to ease political constraints to reform suboptishymal initial tax systems stating that ldquo[] environmental taxes are the lubricating oil that makes possible a tax reform to eliminate particularly bad taxesrdquo (pp 1507-08)

jecture the first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to houseshyholds by lump-sum transfers This first dividend comprises the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivation for the environmental policy which could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos divishydend in the public finance approach13 On the other hand the second dividend will measure the welfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers this second dividend comshyprises the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary motivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology14

The proposed definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings usually found in the double dividend literature such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms Second our definitions of the first and second dividends provide inshyformation by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes In fact these definishytions could be considered as a reformulation of Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis15 which compares two policy changes with difshyferent recycling options In addition Goulder (1995)rsquos strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this paper

For illustration purposes we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerishycal example for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax We show that alternative definitions for both dividends arrive to very different conclusions following the public finance approach we might conshyclude that the green tax reform improves welfare but there is a negative second

13 It could be interpreted also in terms of Pigoursquos taxes in opposition to Ramseyrsquos taxes This terminology have been extensively used in the literature See for example Mayeres and Proost (1997) or Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) 14 Interestinlgy this definition was already writen in Mayeres and Proost (1997 footnote 12) but as a result of a misinterpretation of Goulder (1995)rsquos terminology There are several problems with Mayeres and Proost (1997)rsquos terminology (i) the absence of a proper definishytion (ii) it is not clear if their first dividend includes only welfare effects related to changes in the externalities only and (iii) we can not be sure what they are really measuring by their first and second dividend in their empirical exercise when we compare explanations in main text Table 2a and footnote 15 That is efficiency costs of a revenue-neutral environmental tax reform are lower if the additional revenues from the environmental taxes are recycled in the form of lower distorshytionary taxes compared to the case that these revenues are recycled in a lump-sum fashion

dividend as expected However we found a positive double dividend when we use the new definition proposed in this paper

The paper develops through the following sections In Section 2 we present the Pareto-optimal allocation and the competitive equilibrium in our general equilibrium framework A feature of the model is that it allows to understand the magnitude of the inefficiency of market allocation of resources in the presence of externalities and to compare the results (even graphically) in a general equishylibrium setting with those found in well-known standard partial equilibrium analysis Section 3 is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends in a general equilibrium set-up It presents the competing approaches in the double dividend literature and shows that the public finance view overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes As a consequence this section proposes a definition for the first and second dividends Section 4 carries out a numerical example for the US economy showing that a positive double dividend could be possible as opposed to the public finance approach to conclude that the green tax reform will raise gross efficiency costs Finally Section 5 summarizes conclusions and policy implications

2 THE SOCIAL OPTIMUM AND THE DECENTRALIZED ALLOCATION

This section presents a framework to determine the social optimum and the decentralized market equilibrium allocation of resources with externalities This will be the benchmark set-up for further discussion on green tax reforms along subsequent sections One contribution of this section is to establish the corresponshydence between the well-known partial equilibrium and the general equilibrium counterpart through a graphical analysis

We develop a static rational general equilibrium model with an externality There are two types of agents heterogeneous households in preferences and firms There are a number of perfectly price-taker competitive firms and a techshynology with constant returns of scale therefore a single aggregate polluting firm could be considered Labor N is the only input required to produce a private good Y =F( )N and pollution E = Λ( ( )F N ) This formulation recognizes the complemenshytary relationship between the production of the private good Y and emissions E We will consider this relationship to be represented by a real monotonically inshycreasing function Λ( ) Hence the production function can be considered a

( ) ( ( ) F N )homomorphic function Ψ on R2 + such that Ψ N = YE) = (F N Λ( ( ))

Each household h is endowed with T units of time (eg hours per year) that are allocated between working time n h and leisure time l h The model is static

mdash 11 mdash

so there are neither savings nor capital accumulation Households enhance welshyfare by consuming the private good c h and leisure time l h and in addition the pollution E produced by firms affects each negatively Their preferences are represented by a twice-differentiable continuous utility function U h = (c hl hE) verifying partUh partc partUh partl are positive and partUh partE is negative and part2Uh partc2 and part2 U h part l 2 are negative while part 2U h partE2 part2Uh partcpart l and part2Uh part lpartc are positive16

The Pareto social optimum level of emissionsmdashThe social planner maximizes the agentsrsquo weighted welfare function subject to the technology to produce po- llution and the private good and the feasibility conditions consumption of goods

16 The complementarity or substitutability relationship between pollution and consumption or leisure may be crucial in certain results First pollution could be considered a source of agentsrsquo diseases not related to the other variables In this case eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h c ( ( )U ( lh E)= u c lh )+ v E pollution has no effect on labor supply Second pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of leisure since agents cannot carry out certain activities (eg swimshyming in polluted rivers etc) Hence a complementarity relation to leisure could be taken

h h h heg as U (c lh E)= c + v (lh E) Finally pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of consumpshytion (eg deterioration of consumerrsquos health illness) Therefore a complementarity relation

h h h h hto consumption could be for example U (c lh E)= v (c E)+ l In the last two cases labor supply and its slope are affected by an increase of pollution

this condition the marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumpshytion equals the marginal productivity of labor at the optimum In other words an individual supplying one extra unit of working time increases production and their consumption but also it rises the environmental damages suffered by society which the social planner must internalize

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

[EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

Figure 2 provides some hints about the amount of external costs in our general equilibrium setup The term σ(E) which is the difference between ϕ ( )E ϕ( ) is the marginal damage from one extra unit of labor suppliedand ˆ E

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

sumH w H H

T h = tE E + t Psum

h=1 h=1 h=1

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

w In the benchmark case the social 0 0 0 0welfare level is given by U(0τ )= u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] + v[E(0τ )] whereas

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

mdash 20 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

Source own computations from Parry et al (1999 Table I) Note TOV is total output value TIV total input value and TCV total consumption value All values are in millions of 1995 US dollars except carbon emissions (in million tons)

24 We suppose a constant technical relationship between consumption of energy and emisshysions At the benchmark data the consumption of one dollar of energy generates 0026787394 tons of carbon emitted to the atmosphere

mdash 23 mdash

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

households transfers are

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

1 INTRODUCTION

This paper is concerned with the welfare analysis of green tax reforms a twoshystep policy scheme consisting of setting a tax on emissions and then devoting the tax revenue to finance reductions in incentive-distorting taxes (eg labour or income taxes) As a result the government may reap a double benefit or divishydend a cleaner environment and additionally a less distorting tax system The implementation of each policy step linked to this kind of tax reform however involves efficiency costs and benefits both on the consumption of environmental and non-environmental commodities

The aims of this paper are to highlight misinterpretations of policy assessshyments 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 definishytion to the first dividend and the second dividend Therefore we take up the recent claims about the need of unambiguous and operative definitions of these dividends both for empirical purposes and policy advice Finally we analyze a green tax reform for the US economy to illustrate the advantages of our definishytions for political implementation

The case for green tax reforms is well rooted as academic research on the double dividend hypothesis within the so-called1 ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo (see Tullock 1967 Terkla 1984 Lee and Misiolek 1986 and Pearce 1991) These authors were mainly interested in the first dividend assuming that reducing disshytorting taxes results in a welfare improvement ie a positive second dividend Their analysis however was built on a partial equilibrium approach and had two important shortcomings first none of the proponents provided a full characshyterization of both dividends to allow for an unambiguous definition and policy analysis and second they failed to identify the interaction effects of environshymental taxes with other distorting taxes which might bring with some efficiency losses and would require a more general framework2

Along the 90rsquos a different strand of the literature usually known as the ldquopublic financerdquo view intended to overcome these difficulties by placing the discussion into the realm of optimal taxation in the general equilibrium framework previously developed by Sandmo (1975) (see Goulder 1995 Bovenberg 1999 and Bovenshyberg and Goulder 2002 for subsequent surveys) This line of research was

1 Schoumlb (1997) used the terms environmental and public finance view to classify the double dividend literature 2 See Goulder (1995) Parry (1995) and Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) Among others Bovenberg and de Mooij (1994) Bovenberg and Goulder (1996) and Parry (1995 1997) pointed out that the double dividend hypothesis is flawed because it ignores the taxshyinteraction effect ie by raising costs and prices environmental taxes aggravate the distorshytions of pre-existing taxes (by reducing the labor supply below its already suboptimal level)

mainly interested in the possibility of Goulder (1995)rsquos strong double dividend taking for granted that setting an environmental tax improves the welfare related with the environment ie a positive first dividend is achieved3 The main conclushysion that can be drawn from this literature is that a strong double dividend occurs under rather ldquolimitedrdquo circumstances (eg an initial non-optimal tax menu)

Yet the ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to two critiques First the fact that the strong version of the double dividend hypothesis compares the equishylibrium after the tax reform with the previous status quo instead of analysing the two policy changes (ie the new environmental tax and the recycling of reveshynues) has lead several authors to assign incorrectly efficiency costs and benefits the first dividend strictly accounts for the environment-related welfare changes after the green tax scheme is fully implemented that is the entire decrease of the externality whereas the remaining non-environmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend Consequently this definition of the second dividend considers the non-environmental benefits and costs of green tax reshyforms However the goods being levied by the environmental tax accounts for a reduction in their consumer and producer surpluses therefore i) they are costs needed to improve efficiency and ii) they should not treated as efficiency costs as some authors have done in the public finance approach who consider ldquothat an environmental tax is distortionary [which would] imply a redefinition of this term as commonly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121)4

Actually the definitions provided by the proponents of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach seem of not great help to avoid these misunderstandings For examshyple Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1994) definition of the ldquodouble dividendrdquo hyshypothesis5 focused the discussion on the behavior of the labor market considering the effects on employment as the second dividend6 Others have considered different definitions such as fiscal benefits7 economic growth in terms of GDP

3 That is whether an environmental tax reform enhances not only environmental quality but also non-environmental welfare so that gross efficiency costs are negative after substituting an environmental tax for a distortionary tax (Bovenberg 1999) 4 For example the Royal Society (2002) distinguishes four effects of green tax reforms desshycribing the tax interaction effect as ldquothe distortionary effect of the pollution tax through its effects on raising the price of polluting goodsrdquo (p 5) Accordingly Royal Society considers that an environmental tax on polluting goods reduces their consumer surpluses which represhysents an efficiency cost Another example Bovenberg (1999) denotes all gross costs as effishyciency cost 5 ldquoThe hypothesis that higher pollution taxes associated with more environmental concern would not only improve the environment but also boost employment (and hence the tax base)rdquo 6 See for example Bossier and Breacutechet (1995) Kuper (1996) Carraro Galeotti and Gallo (1996) Majocchi (1996) Ligthart and Van Der Ploeg (1999) Jansen and Klaassen (2000) or Bayındır-Upmann (2004) 7 For example Morris Reacuteveacutesz Zalai and Fucskoacute (1999)

and consumption8 increased output and economic welfare9 or a mixture of them10 These vague definitions noted also in Pezzey and Park (1998 p 545) may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessments since it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reforms11 in addition some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005) recognize the difficulty to undertake an emshypirical analysis of the double dividend as long as ldquothere is no lsquostandardrsquo definition of the double dividend (or a standard method of recycling environmental tax revenues) in the literaturerdquo (p 566-567) and claim for ldquothe choice of an operashytive definition of the double dividend to be kept constant throughout our [emshypirical] analysesrdquo (p 576)

The second critique deals with the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions account for a global accepshytance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environmental tax or the need to reform the tax system Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent so the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend As a consequence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a criterion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis As Goulder (1994) noted a posishytive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system abstracting from any environmental concern12

Clearly these two previous critiques could have been avoided with an unamshybiguous definition for both dividends that did not create confusion among comshypeting policy objectives namely to reduce the level of an externality and to alleviate the tax distortions provoked by the fiscal system

The present paper aims to clarify the debate about what should be included as efficiency benefits and costs in the measurement of the environmental and second dividend In tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conshy

8 See Garbaccio Ho and Jorgenson (1999) 9 See Jorgensen and Wilcoxen (1993) 10 Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1998) or Chiroleu-Assouline and Fodha (2005) 11 In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) They also recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are ineffishycient (p 1502) 12 In fact some authors like Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have recognized that the envishyronmental taxes could play an important role to ease political constraints to reform suboptishymal initial tax systems stating that ldquo[] environmental taxes are the lubricating oil that makes possible a tax reform to eliminate particularly bad taxesrdquo (pp 1507-08)

jecture the first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to houseshyholds by lump-sum transfers This first dividend comprises the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivation for the environmental policy which could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos divishydend in the public finance approach13 On the other hand the second dividend will measure the welfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers this second dividend comshyprises the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary motivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology14

The proposed definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings usually found in the double dividend literature such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms Second our definitions of the first and second dividends provide inshyformation by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes In fact these definishytions could be considered as a reformulation of Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis15 which compares two policy changes with difshyferent recycling options In addition Goulder (1995)rsquos strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this paper

For illustration purposes we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerishycal example for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax We show that alternative definitions for both dividends arrive to very different conclusions following the public finance approach we might conshyclude that the green tax reform improves welfare but there is a negative second

13 It could be interpreted also in terms of Pigoursquos taxes in opposition to Ramseyrsquos taxes This terminology have been extensively used in the literature See for example Mayeres and Proost (1997) or Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) 14 Interestinlgy this definition was already writen in Mayeres and Proost (1997 footnote 12) but as a result of a misinterpretation of Goulder (1995)rsquos terminology There are several problems with Mayeres and Proost (1997)rsquos terminology (i) the absence of a proper definishytion (ii) it is not clear if their first dividend includes only welfare effects related to changes in the externalities only and (iii) we can not be sure what they are really measuring by their first and second dividend in their empirical exercise when we compare explanations in main text Table 2a and footnote 15 That is efficiency costs of a revenue-neutral environmental tax reform are lower if the additional revenues from the environmental taxes are recycled in the form of lower distorshytionary taxes compared to the case that these revenues are recycled in a lump-sum fashion

dividend as expected However we found a positive double dividend when we use the new definition proposed in this paper

The paper develops through the following sections In Section 2 we present the Pareto-optimal allocation and the competitive equilibrium in our general equilibrium framework A feature of the model is that it allows to understand the magnitude of the inefficiency of market allocation of resources in the presence of externalities and to compare the results (even graphically) in a general equishylibrium setting with those found in well-known standard partial equilibrium analysis Section 3 is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends in a general equilibrium set-up It presents the competing approaches in the double dividend literature and shows that the public finance view overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes As a consequence this section proposes a definition for the first and second dividends Section 4 carries out a numerical example for the US economy showing that a positive double dividend could be possible as opposed to the public finance approach to conclude that the green tax reform will raise gross efficiency costs Finally Section 5 summarizes conclusions and policy implications

2 THE SOCIAL OPTIMUM AND THE DECENTRALIZED ALLOCATION

This section presents a framework to determine the social optimum and the decentralized market equilibrium allocation of resources with externalities This will be the benchmark set-up for further discussion on green tax reforms along subsequent sections One contribution of this section is to establish the corresponshydence between the well-known partial equilibrium and the general equilibrium counterpart through a graphical analysis

We develop a static rational general equilibrium model with an externality There are two types of agents heterogeneous households in preferences and firms There are a number of perfectly price-taker competitive firms and a techshynology with constant returns of scale therefore a single aggregate polluting firm could be considered Labor N is the only input required to produce a private good Y =F( )N and pollution E = Λ( ( )F N ) This formulation recognizes the complemenshytary relationship between the production of the private good Y and emissions E We will consider this relationship to be represented by a real monotonically inshycreasing function Λ( ) Hence the production function can be considered a

( ) ( ( ) F N )homomorphic function Ψ on R2 + such that Ψ N = YE) = (F N Λ( ( ))

Each household h is endowed with T units of time (eg hours per year) that are allocated between working time n h and leisure time l h The model is static

mdash 11 mdash

so there are neither savings nor capital accumulation Households enhance welshyfare by consuming the private good c h and leisure time l h and in addition the pollution E produced by firms affects each negatively Their preferences are represented by a twice-differentiable continuous utility function U h = (c hl hE) verifying partUh partc partUh partl are positive and partUh partE is negative and part2Uh partc2 and part2 U h part l 2 are negative while part 2U h partE2 part2Uh partcpart l and part2Uh part lpartc are positive16

where λ and micro are the positive Lagrangian multipliers namely the former represhysents the social marginal utility from individual consumption of the private good whereas the latter stands for the social marginal utility from pollution Under

16 The complementarity or substitutability relationship between pollution and consumption or leisure may be crucial in certain results First pollution could be considered a source of agentsrsquo diseases not related to the other variables In this case eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h c ( ( )U ( lh E)= u c lh )+ v E pollution has no effect on labor supply Second pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of leisure since agents cannot carry out certain activities (eg swimshyming in polluted rivers etc) Hence a complementarity relation to leisure could be taken

h h h heg as U (c lh E)= c + v (lh E) Finally pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of consumpshytion (eg deterioration of consumerrsquos health illness) Therefore a complementarity relation

h h h h hto consumption could be for example U (c lh E)= v (c E)+ l In the last two cases labor supply and its slope are affected by an increase of pollution

this condition the marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumpshytion equals the marginal productivity of labor at the optimum In other words an individual supplying one extra unit of working time increases production and their consumption but also it rises the environmental damages suffered by society which the social planner must internalize

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

wh hincome restriction c = (T minus l ) where the real wage is w There is not a P P

market for pollution therefore competitive firms do not care about the extershynality and each household takes the amount of pollution as given Then we find

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

[EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

Figure 2 provides some hints about the amount of external costs in our general equilibrium setup The term σ(E) which is the difference between ϕ ( )E ϕ( ) is the marginal damage from one extra unit of labor suppliedand ˆ E

by agent h Thus the area (integral) between these two functions in the ˆrange [EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs Thereshy

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

⎡ 2 h h ( ) h ⎤h h ⎢part U (c E l ( )( ) ( ) E E) partlpartE part2U h (c h ( ) E l h ( )E E partcpartE ⎥MRS E = MRS E minus

) (3)⎢ ⎢ partU h (c h ( )E l h h ) ⎥⎣ ( )E E partl partU h (c ( )E l h ( )E E) partc ⎥⎦

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

w In the benchmark case the social 0 0 0 0welfare level is given by U(0τ )= u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] + v[E(0τ )] whereas

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

mdash 23 mdash

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

mdash 26 mdash

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

The green tax equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ1 t1 E ) The global gains or losses in

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

E )minus U(τ 00) so that a difference with a positive sign will justify its implementation

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

1 INTRODUCTION

This paper is concerned with the welfare analysis of green tax reforms a twoshystep policy scheme consisting of setting a tax on emissions and then devoting the tax revenue to finance reductions in incentive-distorting taxes (eg labour or income taxes) As a result the government may reap a double benefit or divishydend a cleaner environment and additionally a less distorting tax system The implementation of each policy step linked to this kind of tax reform however involves efficiency costs and benefits both on the consumption of environmental and non-environmental commodities

The aims of this paper are to highlight misinterpretations of policy assessshyments 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 definishytion to the first dividend and the second dividend Therefore we take up the recent claims about the need of unambiguous and operative definitions of these dividends both for empirical purposes and policy advice Finally we analyze a green tax reform for the US economy to illustrate the advantages of our definishytions for political implementation

The case for green tax reforms is well rooted as academic research on the double dividend hypothesis within the so-called1 ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo (see Tullock 1967 Terkla 1984 Lee and Misiolek 1986 and Pearce 1991) These authors were mainly interested in the first dividend assuming that reducing disshytorting taxes results in a welfare improvement ie a positive second dividend Their analysis however was built on a partial equilibrium approach and had two important shortcomings first none of the proponents provided a full characshyterization of both dividends to allow for an unambiguous definition and policy analysis and second they failed to identify the interaction effects of environshymental taxes with other distorting taxes which might bring with some efficiency losses and would require a more general framework2

Along the 90rsquos a different strand of the literature usually known as the ldquopublic financerdquo view intended to overcome these difficulties by placing the discussion into the realm of optimal taxation in the general equilibrium framework previously developed by Sandmo (1975) (see Goulder 1995 Bovenberg 1999 and Bovenshyberg and Goulder 2002 for subsequent surveys) This line of research was

1 Schoumlb (1997) used the terms environmental and public finance view to classify the double dividend literature 2 See Goulder (1995) Parry (1995) and Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) Among others Bovenberg and de Mooij (1994) Bovenberg and Goulder (1996) and Parry (1995 1997) pointed out that the double dividend hypothesis is flawed because it ignores the taxshyinteraction effect ie by raising costs and prices environmental taxes aggravate the distorshytions of pre-existing taxes (by reducing the labor supply below its already suboptimal level)

mdash 7 mdash

mainly interested in the possibility of Goulder (1995)rsquos strong double dividend taking for granted that setting an environmental tax improves the welfare related with the environment ie a positive first dividend is achieved3 The main conclushysion that can be drawn from this literature is that a strong double dividend occurs under rather ldquolimitedrdquo circumstances (eg an initial non-optimal tax menu)

Yet the ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to two critiques First the fact that the strong version of the double dividend hypothesis compares the equishylibrium after the tax reform with the previous status quo instead of analysing the two policy changes (ie the new environmental tax and the recycling of reveshynues) has lead several authors to assign incorrectly efficiency costs and benefits the first dividend strictly accounts for the environment-related welfare changes after the green tax scheme is fully implemented that is the entire decrease of the externality whereas the remaining non-environmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend Consequently this definition of the second dividend considers the non-environmental benefits and costs of green tax reshyforms However the goods being levied by the environmental tax accounts for a reduction in their consumer and producer surpluses therefore i) they are costs needed to improve efficiency and ii) they should not treated as efficiency costs as some authors have done in the public finance approach who consider ldquothat an environmental tax is distortionary [which would] imply a redefinition of this term as commonly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121)4

Actually the definitions provided by the proponents of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach seem of not great help to avoid these misunderstandings For examshyple Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1994) definition of the ldquodouble dividendrdquo hyshypothesis5 focused the discussion on the behavior of the labor market considering the effects on employment as the second dividend6 Others have considered different definitions such as fiscal benefits7 economic growth in terms of GDP

3 That is whether an environmental tax reform enhances not only environmental quality but also non-environmental welfare so that gross efficiency costs are negative after substituting an environmental tax for a distortionary tax (Bovenberg 1999) 4 For example the Royal Society (2002) distinguishes four effects of green tax reforms desshycribing the tax interaction effect as ldquothe distortionary effect of the pollution tax through its effects on raising the price of polluting goodsrdquo (p 5) Accordingly Royal Society considers that an environmental tax on polluting goods reduces their consumer surpluses which represhysents an efficiency cost Another example Bovenberg (1999) denotes all gross costs as effishyciency cost 5 ldquoThe hypothesis that higher pollution taxes associated with more environmental concern would not only improve the environment but also boost employment (and hence the tax base)rdquo 6 See for example Bossier and Breacutechet (1995) Kuper (1996) Carraro Galeotti and Gallo (1996) Majocchi (1996) Ligthart and Van Der Ploeg (1999) Jansen and Klaassen (2000) or Bayındır-Upmann (2004) 7 For example Morris Reacuteveacutesz Zalai and Fucskoacute (1999)

and consumption8 increased output and economic welfare9 or a mixture of them10 These vague definitions noted also in Pezzey and Park (1998 p 545) may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessments since it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reforms11 in addition some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005) recognize the difficulty to undertake an emshypirical analysis of the double dividend as long as ldquothere is no lsquostandardrsquo definition of the double dividend (or a standard method of recycling environmental tax revenues) in the literaturerdquo (p 566-567) and claim for ldquothe choice of an operashytive definition of the double dividend to be kept constant throughout our [emshypirical] analysesrdquo (p 576)

The second critique deals with the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions account for a global accepshytance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environmental tax or the need to reform the tax system Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent so the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend As a consequence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a criterion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis As Goulder (1994) noted a posishytive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system abstracting from any environmental concern12

Clearly these two previous critiques could have been avoided with an unamshybiguous definition for both dividends that did not create confusion among comshypeting policy objectives namely to reduce the level of an externality and to alleviate the tax distortions provoked by the fiscal system

The present paper aims to clarify the debate about what should be included as efficiency benefits and costs in the measurement of the environmental and second dividend In tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conshy

8 See Garbaccio Ho and Jorgenson (1999) 9 See Jorgensen and Wilcoxen (1993) 10 Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1998) or Chiroleu-Assouline and Fodha (2005) 11 In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) They also recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are ineffishycient (p 1502) 12 In fact some authors like Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have recognized that the envishyronmental taxes could play an important role to ease political constraints to reform suboptishymal initial tax systems stating that ldquo[] environmental taxes are the lubricating oil that makes possible a tax reform to eliminate particularly bad taxesrdquo (pp 1507-08)

mdash 9 mdash

jecture the first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to houseshyholds by lump-sum transfers This first dividend comprises the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivation for the environmental policy which could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos divishydend in the public finance approach13 On the other hand the second dividend will measure the welfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers this second dividend comshyprises the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary motivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology14

The proposed definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings usually found in the double dividend literature such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms Second our definitions of the first and second dividends provide inshyformation by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes In fact these definishytions could be considered as a reformulation of Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis15 which compares two policy changes with difshyferent recycling options In addition Goulder (1995)rsquos strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this paper

For illustration purposes we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerishycal example for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax We show that alternative definitions for both dividends arrive to very different conclusions following the public finance approach we might conshyclude that the green tax reform improves welfare but there is a negative second

13 It could be interpreted also in terms of Pigoursquos taxes in opposition to Ramseyrsquos taxes This terminology have been extensively used in the literature See for example Mayeres and Proost (1997) or Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) 14 Interestinlgy this definition was already writen in Mayeres and Proost (1997 footnote 12) but as a result of a misinterpretation of Goulder (1995)rsquos terminology There are several problems with Mayeres and Proost (1997)rsquos terminology (i) the absence of a proper definishytion (ii) it is not clear if their first dividend includes only welfare effects related to changes in the externalities only and (iii) we can not be sure what they are really measuring by their first and second dividend in their empirical exercise when we compare explanations in main text Table 2a and footnote 15 That is efficiency costs of a revenue-neutral environmental tax reform are lower if the additional revenues from the environmental taxes are recycled in the form of lower distorshytionary taxes compared to the case that these revenues are recycled in a lump-sum fashion

dividend as expected However we found a positive double dividend when we use the new definition proposed in this paper

The paper develops through the following sections In Section 2 we present the Pareto-optimal allocation and the competitive equilibrium in our general equilibrium framework A feature of the model is that it allows to understand the magnitude of the inefficiency of market allocation of resources in the presence of externalities and to compare the results (even graphically) in a general equishylibrium setting with those found in well-known standard partial equilibrium analysis Section 3 is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends in a general equilibrium set-up It presents the competing approaches in the double dividend literature and shows that the public finance view overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes As a consequence this section proposes a definition for the first and second dividends Section 4 carries out a numerical example for the US economy showing that a positive double dividend could be possible as opposed to the public finance approach to conclude that the green tax reform will raise gross efficiency costs Finally Section 5 summarizes conclusions and policy implications

2 THE SOCIAL OPTIMUM AND THE DECENTRALIZED ALLOCATION

This section presents a framework to determine the social optimum and the decentralized market equilibrium allocation of resources with externalities This will be the benchmark set-up for further discussion on green tax reforms along subsequent sections One contribution of this section is to establish the corresponshydence between the well-known partial equilibrium and the general equilibrium counterpart through a graphical analysis

We develop a static rational general equilibrium model with an externality There are two types of agents heterogeneous households in preferences and firms There are a number of perfectly price-taker competitive firms and a techshynology with constant returns of scale therefore a single aggregate polluting firm could be considered Labor N is the only input required to produce a private good Y =F( )N and pollution E = Λ( ( )F N ) This formulation recognizes the complemenshytary relationship between the production of the private good Y and emissions E We will consider this relationship to be represented by a real monotonically inshycreasing function Λ( ) Hence the production function can be considered a

( ) ( ( ) F N )homomorphic function Ψ on R2 + such that Ψ N = YE) = (F N Λ( ( ))

Each household h is endowed with T units of time (eg hours per year) that are allocated between working time n h and leisure time l h The model is static

mdash 11 mdash

so there are neither savings nor capital accumulation Households enhance welshyfare by consuming the private good c h and leisure time l h and in addition the pollution E produced by firms affects each negatively Their preferences are represented by a twice-differentiable continuous utility function U h = (c hl hE) verifying partUh partc partUh partl are positive and partUh partE is negative and part2Uh partc2 and part2 U h part l 2 are negative while part 2U h partE2 part2Uh partcpart l and part2Uh part lpartc are positive16

16 The complementarity or substitutability relationship between pollution and consumption or leisure may be crucial in certain results First pollution could be considered a source of agentsrsquo diseases not related to the other variables In this case eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h c ( ( )U ( lh E)= u c lh )+ v E pollution has no effect on labor supply Second pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of leisure since agents cannot carry out certain activities (eg swimshyming in polluted rivers etc) Hence a complementarity relation to leisure could be taken

h h h heg as U (c lh E)= c + v (lh E) Finally pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of consumpshytion (eg deterioration of consumerrsquos health illness) Therefore a complementarity relation

h h h h hto consumption could be for example U (c lh E)= v (c E)+ l In the last two cases labor supply and its slope are affected by an increase of pollution

this condition the marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumpshytion equals the marginal productivity of labor at the optimum In other words an individual supplying one extra unit of working time increases production and their consumption but also it rises the environmental damages suffered by society which the social planner must internalize

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

[EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

sumH w H H

T h = tE E + t Psum

h=1 h=1 h=1

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

w In the benchmark case the social 0 0 0 0welfare level is given by U(0τ )= u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] + v[E(0τ )] whereas

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

mdash 20 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

24 We suppose a constant technical relationship between consumption of energy and emisshysions At the benchmark data the consumption of one dollar of energy generates 0026787394 tons of carbon emitted to the atmosphere

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

households transfers are

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

1 INTRODUCTION

This paper is concerned with the welfare analysis of green tax reforms a twoshystep policy scheme consisting of setting a tax on emissions and then devoting the tax revenue to finance reductions in incentive-distorting taxes (eg labour or income taxes) As a result the government may reap a double benefit or divishydend a cleaner environment and additionally a less distorting tax system The implementation of each policy step linked to this kind of tax reform however involves efficiency costs and benefits both on the consumption of environmental and non-environmental commodities

The aims of this paper are to highlight misinterpretations of policy assessshyments 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 definishytion to the first dividend and the second dividend Therefore we take up the recent claims about the need of unambiguous and operative definitions of these dividends both for empirical purposes and policy advice Finally we analyze a green tax reform for the US economy to illustrate the advantages of our definishytions for political implementation

The case for green tax reforms is well rooted as academic research on the double dividend hypothesis within the so-called1 ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo (see Tullock 1967 Terkla 1984 Lee and Misiolek 1986 and Pearce 1991) These authors were mainly interested in the first dividend assuming that reducing disshytorting taxes results in a welfare improvement ie a positive second dividend Their analysis however was built on a partial equilibrium approach and had two important shortcomings first none of the proponents provided a full characshyterization of both dividends to allow for an unambiguous definition and policy analysis and second they failed to identify the interaction effects of environshymental taxes with other distorting taxes which might bring with some efficiency losses and would require a more general framework2

Along the 90rsquos a different strand of the literature usually known as the ldquopublic financerdquo view intended to overcome these difficulties by placing the discussion into the realm of optimal taxation in the general equilibrium framework previously developed by Sandmo (1975) (see Goulder 1995 Bovenberg 1999 and Bovenshyberg and Goulder 2002 for subsequent surveys) This line of research was

1 Schoumlb (1997) used the terms environmental and public finance view to classify the double dividend literature 2 See Goulder (1995) Parry (1995) and Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) Among others Bovenberg and de Mooij (1994) Bovenberg and Goulder (1996) and Parry (1995 1997) pointed out that the double dividend hypothesis is flawed because it ignores the taxshyinteraction effect ie by raising costs and prices environmental taxes aggravate the distorshytions of pre-existing taxes (by reducing the labor supply below its already suboptimal level)

mdash 7 mdash

mainly interested in the possibility of Goulder (1995)rsquos strong double dividend taking for granted that setting an environmental tax improves the welfare related with the environment ie a positive first dividend is achieved3 The main conclushysion that can be drawn from this literature is that a strong double dividend occurs under rather ldquolimitedrdquo circumstances (eg an initial non-optimal tax menu)

Yet the ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to two critiques First the fact that the strong version of the double dividend hypothesis compares the equishylibrium after the tax reform with the previous status quo instead of analysing the two policy changes (ie the new environmental tax and the recycling of reveshynues) has lead several authors to assign incorrectly efficiency costs and benefits the first dividend strictly accounts for the environment-related welfare changes after the green tax scheme is fully implemented that is the entire decrease of the externality whereas the remaining non-environmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend Consequently this definition of the second dividend considers the non-environmental benefits and costs of green tax reshyforms However the goods being levied by the environmental tax accounts for a reduction in their consumer and producer surpluses therefore i) they are costs needed to improve efficiency and ii) they should not treated as efficiency costs as some authors have done in the public finance approach who consider ldquothat an environmental tax is distortionary [which would] imply a redefinition of this term as commonly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121)4

Actually the definitions provided by the proponents of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach seem of not great help to avoid these misunderstandings For examshyple Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1994) definition of the ldquodouble dividendrdquo hyshypothesis5 focused the discussion on the behavior of the labor market considering the effects on employment as the second dividend6 Others have considered different definitions such as fiscal benefits7 economic growth in terms of GDP

3 That is whether an environmental tax reform enhances not only environmental quality but also non-environmental welfare so that gross efficiency costs are negative after substituting an environmental tax for a distortionary tax (Bovenberg 1999) 4 For example the Royal Society (2002) distinguishes four effects of green tax reforms desshycribing the tax interaction effect as ldquothe distortionary effect of the pollution tax through its effects on raising the price of polluting goodsrdquo (p 5) Accordingly Royal Society considers that an environmental tax on polluting goods reduces their consumer surpluses which represhysents an efficiency cost Another example Bovenberg (1999) denotes all gross costs as effishyciency cost 5 ldquoThe hypothesis that higher pollution taxes associated with more environmental concern would not only improve the environment but also boost employment (and hence the tax base)rdquo 6 See for example Bossier and Breacutechet (1995) Kuper (1996) Carraro Galeotti and Gallo (1996) Majocchi (1996) Ligthart and Van Der Ploeg (1999) Jansen and Klaassen (2000) or Bayındır-Upmann (2004) 7 For example Morris Reacuteveacutesz Zalai and Fucskoacute (1999)

and consumption8 increased output and economic welfare9 or a mixture of them10 These vague definitions noted also in Pezzey and Park (1998 p 545) may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessments since it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reforms11 in addition some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005) recognize the difficulty to undertake an emshypirical analysis of the double dividend as long as ldquothere is no lsquostandardrsquo definition of the double dividend (or a standard method of recycling environmental tax revenues) in the literaturerdquo (p 566-567) and claim for ldquothe choice of an operashytive definition of the double dividend to be kept constant throughout our [emshypirical] analysesrdquo (p 576)

The second critique deals with the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions account for a global accepshytance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environmental tax or the need to reform the tax system Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent so the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend As a consequence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a criterion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis As Goulder (1994) noted a posishytive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system abstracting from any environmental concern12

Clearly these two previous critiques could have been avoided with an unamshybiguous definition for both dividends that did not create confusion among comshypeting policy objectives namely to reduce the level of an externality and to alleviate the tax distortions provoked by the fiscal system

The present paper aims to clarify the debate about what should be included as efficiency benefits and costs in the measurement of the environmental and second dividend In tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conshy

8 See Garbaccio Ho and Jorgenson (1999) 9 See Jorgensen and Wilcoxen (1993) 10 Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1998) or Chiroleu-Assouline and Fodha (2005) 11 In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) They also recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are ineffishycient (p 1502) 12 In fact some authors like Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have recognized that the envishyronmental taxes could play an important role to ease political constraints to reform suboptishymal initial tax systems stating that ldquo[] environmental taxes are the lubricating oil that makes possible a tax reform to eliminate particularly bad taxesrdquo (pp 1507-08)

jecture the first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to houseshyholds by lump-sum transfers This first dividend comprises the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivation for the environmental policy which could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos divishydend in the public finance approach13 On the other hand the second dividend will measure the welfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers this second dividend comshyprises the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary motivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology14

The proposed definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings usually found in the double dividend literature such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms Second our definitions of the first and second dividends provide inshyformation by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes In fact these definishytions could be considered as a reformulation of Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis15 which compares two policy changes with difshyferent recycling options In addition Goulder (1995)rsquos strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this paper

For illustration purposes we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerishycal example for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax We show that alternative definitions for both dividends arrive to very different conclusions following the public finance approach we might conshyclude that the green tax reform improves welfare but there is a negative second

13 It could be interpreted also in terms of Pigoursquos taxes in opposition to Ramseyrsquos taxes This terminology have been extensively used in the literature See for example Mayeres and Proost (1997) or Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) 14 Interestinlgy this definition was already writen in Mayeres and Proost (1997 footnote 12) but as a result of a misinterpretation of Goulder (1995)rsquos terminology There are several problems with Mayeres and Proost (1997)rsquos terminology (i) the absence of a proper definishytion (ii) it is not clear if their first dividend includes only welfare effects related to changes in the externalities only and (iii) we can not be sure what they are really measuring by their first and second dividend in their empirical exercise when we compare explanations in main text Table 2a and footnote 15 That is efficiency costs of a revenue-neutral environmental tax reform are lower if the additional revenues from the environmental taxes are recycled in the form of lower distorshytionary taxes compared to the case that these revenues are recycled in a lump-sum fashion

dividend as expected However we found a positive double dividend when we use the new definition proposed in this paper

The paper develops through the following sections In Section 2 we present the Pareto-optimal allocation and the competitive equilibrium in our general equilibrium framework A feature of the model is that it allows to understand the magnitude of the inefficiency of market allocation of resources in the presence of externalities and to compare the results (even graphically) in a general equishylibrium setting with those found in well-known standard partial equilibrium analysis Section 3 is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends in a general equilibrium set-up It presents the competing approaches in the double dividend literature and shows that the public finance view overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes As a consequence this section proposes a definition for the first and second dividends Section 4 carries out a numerical example for the US economy showing that a positive double dividend could be possible as opposed to the public finance approach to conclude that the green tax reform will raise gross efficiency costs Finally Section 5 summarizes conclusions and policy implications

2 THE SOCIAL OPTIMUM AND THE DECENTRALIZED ALLOCATION

This section presents a framework to determine the social optimum and the decentralized market equilibrium allocation of resources with externalities This will be the benchmark set-up for further discussion on green tax reforms along subsequent sections One contribution of this section is to establish the corresponshydence between the well-known partial equilibrium and the general equilibrium counterpart through a graphical analysis

We develop a static rational general equilibrium model with an externality There are two types of agents heterogeneous households in preferences and firms There are a number of perfectly price-taker competitive firms and a techshynology with constant returns of scale therefore a single aggregate polluting firm could be considered Labor N is the only input required to produce a private good Y =F( )N and pollution E = Λ( ( )F N ) This formulation recognizes the complemenshytary relationship between the production of the private good Y and emissions E We will consider this relationship to be represented by a real monotonically inshycreasing function Λ( ) Hence the production function can be considered a

( ) ( ( ) F N )homomorphic function Ψ on R2 + such that Ψ N = YE) = (F N Λ( ( ))

Each household h is endowed with T units of time (eg hours per year) that are allocated between working time n h and leisure time l h The model is static

mdash 11 mdash

so there are neither savings nor capital accumulation Households enhance welshyfare by consuming the private good c h and leisure time l h and in addition the pollution E produced by firms affects each negatively Their preferences are represented by a twice-differentiable continuous utility function U h = (c hl hE) verifying partUh partc partUh partl are positive and partUh partE is negative and part2Uh partc2 and part2 U h part l 2 are negative while part 2U h partE2 part2Uh partcpart l and part2Uh part lpartc are positive16

where λ and micro are the positive Lagrangian multipliers namely the former represhysents the social marginal utility from individual consumption of the private good whereas the latter stands for the social marginal utility from pollution Under

16 The complementarity or substitutability relationship between pollution and consumption or leisure may be crucial in certain results First pollution could be considered a source of agentsrsquo diseases not related to the other variables In this case eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h c ( ( )U ( lh E)= u c lh )+ v E pollution has no effect on labor supply Second pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of leisure since agents cannot carry out certain activities (eg swimshyming in polluted rivers etc) Hence a complementarity relation to leisure could be taken

h h h heg as U (c lh E)= c + v (lh E) Finally pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of consumpshytion (eg deterioration of consumerrsquos health illness) Therefore a complementarity relation

h h h h hto consumption could be for example U (c lh E)= v (c E)+ l In the last two cases labor supply and its slope are affected by an increase of pollution

this condition the marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumpshytion equals the marginal productivity of labor at the optimum In other words an individual supplying one extra unit of working time increases production and their consumption but also it rises the environmental damages suffered by society which the social planner must internalize

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

wh hincome restriction c = (T minus l ) where the real wage is w There is not a P P

market for pollution therefore competitive firms do not care about the extershynality and each household takes the amount of pollution as given Then we find

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

[EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

Figure 2 provides some hints about the amount of external costs in our general equilibrium setup The term σ(E) which is the difference between ϕ ( )E ϕ( ) is the marginal damage from one extra unit of labor suppliedand ˆ E

by agent h Thus the area (integral) between these two functions in the ˆrange [EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs Thereshy

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

⎡ 2 h h ( ) h ⎤h h ⎢part U (c E l ( )( ) ( ) E E) partlpartE part2U h (c h ( ) E l h ( )E E partcpartE ⎥MRS E = MRS E minus

) (3)⎢ ⎢ partU h (c h ( )E l h h ) ⎥⎣ ( )E E partl partU h (c ( )E l h ( )E E) partc ⎥⎦

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

h h h ρu ρuU (c l E)= [αC + (1minus α)l minus φE

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

mdash 23 mdash

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

The green tax equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ1 t1 E ) The global gains or losses in

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

E )minus U(τ 00) so that a difference with a positive sign will justify its implementation

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

206 Pigoursquos dividend versus Ramseyrsquos dividend in the double dividend literature Autores Eduardo L Gimeacutenez y Miguel Rodriacuteguez

mdash 52 mdash

mainly interested in the possibility of Goulder (1995)rsquos strong double dividend taking for granted that setting an environmental tax improves the welfare related with the environment ie a positive first dividend is achieved3 The main conclushysion that can be drawn from this literature is that a strong double dividend occurs under rather ldquolimitedrdquo circumstances (eg an initial non-optimal tax menu)

Yet the ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to two critiques First the fact that the strong version of the double dividend hypothesis compares the equishylibrium after the tax reform with the previous status quo instead of analysing the two policy changes (ie the new environmental tax and the recycling of reveshynues) has lead several authors to assign incorrectly efficiency costs and benefits the first dividend strictly accounts for the environment-related welfare changes after the green tax scheme is fully implemented that is the entire decrease of the externality whereas the remaining non-environmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend Consequently this definition of the second dividend considers the non-environmental benefits and costs of green tax reshyforms However the goods being levied by the environmental tax accounts for a reduction in their consumer and producer surpluses therefore i) they are costs needed to improve efficiency and ii) they should not treated as efficiency costs as some authors have done in the public finance approach who consider ldquothat an environmental tax is distortionary [which would] imply a redefinition of this term as commonly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121)4

Actually the definitions provided by the proponents of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach seem of not great help to avoid these misunderstandings For examshyple Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1994) definition of the ldquodouble dividendrdquo hyshypothesis5 focused the discussion on the behavior of the labor market considering the effects on employment as the second dividend6 Others have considered different definitions such as fiscal benefits7 economic growth in terms of GDP

3 That is whether an environmental tax reform enhances not only environmental quality but also non-environmental welfare so that gross efficiency costs are negative after substituting an environmental tax for a distortionary tax (Bovenberg 1999) 4 For example the Royal Society (2002) distinguishes four effects of green tax reforms desshycribing the tax interaction effect as ldquothe distortionary effect of the pollution tax through its effects on raising the price of polluting goodsrdquo (p 5) Accordingly Royal Society considers that an environmental tax on polluting goods reduces their consumer surpluses which represhysents an efficiency cost Another example Bovenberg (1999) denotes all gross costs as effishyciency cost 5 ldquoThe hypothesis that higher pollution taxes associated with more environmental concern would not only improve the environment but also boost employment (and hence the tax base)rdquo 6 See for example Bossier and Breacutechet (1995) Kuper (1996) Carraro Galeotti and Gallo (1996) Majocchi (1996) Ligthart and Van Der Ploeg (1999) Jansen and Klaassen (2000) or Bayındır-Upmann (2004) 7 For example Morris Reacuteveacutesz Zalai and Fucskoacute (1999)

and consumption8 increased output and economic welfare9 or a mixture of them10 These vague definitions noted also in Pezzey and Park (1998 p 545) may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessments since it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reforms11 in addition some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005) recognize the difficulty to undertake an emshypirical analysis of the double dividend as long as ldquothere is no lsquostandardrsquo definition of the double dividend (or a standard method of recycling environmental tax revenues) in the literaturerdquo (p 566-567) and claim for ldquothe choice of an operashytive definition of the double dividend to be kept constant throughout our [emshypirical] analysesrdquo (p 576)

The second critique deals with the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions account for a global accepshytance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environmental tax or the need to reform the tax system Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent so the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend As a consequence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a criterion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis As Goulder (1994) noted a posishytive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system abstracting from any environmental concern12

Clearly these two previous critiques could have been avoided with an unamshybiguous definition for both dividends that did not create confusion among comshypeting policy objectives namely to reduce the level of an externality and to alleviate the tax distortions provoked by the fiscal system

The present paper aims to clarify the debate about what should be included as efficiency benefits and costs in the measurement of the environmental and second dividend In tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conshy

8 See Garbaccio Ho and Jorgenson (1999) 9 See Jorgensen and Wilcoxen (1993) 10 Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1998) or Chiroleu-Assouline and Fodha (2005) 11 In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) They also recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are ineffishycient (p 1502) 12 In fact some authors like Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have recognized that the envishyronmental taxes could play an important role to ease political constraints to reform suboptishymal initial tax systems stating that ldquo[] environmental taxes are the lubricating oil that makes possible a tax reform to eliminate particularly bad taxesrdquo (pp 1507-08)

jecture the first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to houseshyholds by lump-sum transfers This first dividend comprises the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivation for the environmental policy which could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos divishydend in the public finance approach13 On the other hand the second dividend will measure the welfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers this second dividend comshyprises the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary motivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology14

The proposed definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings usually found in the double dividend literature such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms Second our definitions of the first and second dividends provide inshyformation by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes In fact these definishytions could be considered as a reformulation of Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis15 which compares two policy changes with difshyferent recycling options In addition Goulder (1995)rsquos strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this paper

For illustration purposes we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerishycal example for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax We show that alternative definitions for both dividends arrive to very different conclusions following the public finance approach we might conshyclude that the green tax reform improves welfare but there is a negative second

13 It could be interpreted also in terms of Pigoursquos taxes in opposition to Ramseyrsquos taxes This terminology have been extensively used in the literature See for example Mayeres and Proost (1997) or Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) 14 Interestinlgy this definition was already writen in Mayeres and Proost (1997 footnote 12) but as a result of a misinterpretation of Goulder (1995)rsquos terminology There are several problems with Mayeres and Proost (1997)rsquos terminology (i) the absence of a proper definishytion (ii) it is not clear if their first dividend includes only welfare effects related to changes in the externalities only and (iii) we can not be sure what they are really measuring by their first and second dividend in their empirical exercise when we compare explanations in main text Table 2a and footnote 15 That is efficiency costs of a revenue-neutral environmental tax reform are lower if the additional revenues from the environmental taxes are recycled in the form of lower distorshytionary taxes compared to the case that these revenues are recycled in a lump-sum fashion

dividend as expected However we found a positive double dividend when we use the new definition proposed in this paper

The paper develops through the following sections In Section 2 we present the Pareto-optimal allocation and the competitive equilibrium in our general equilibrium framework A feature of the model is that it allows to understand the magnitude of the inefficiency of market allocation of resources in the presence of externalities and to compare the results (even graphically) in a general equishylibrium setting with those found in well-known standard partial equilibrium analysis Section 3 is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends in a general equilibrium set-up It presents the competing approaches in the double dividend literature and shows that the public finance view overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes As a consequence this section proposes a definition for the first and second dividends Section 4 carries out a numerical example for the US economy showing that a positive double dividend could be possible as opposed to the public finance approach to conclude that the green tax reform will raise gross efficiency costs Finally Section 5 summarizes conclusions and policy implications

2 THE SOCIAL OPTIMUM AND THE DECENTRALIZED ALLOCATION

This section presents a framework to determine the social optimum and the decentralized market equilibrium allocation of resources with externalities This will be the benchmark set-up for further discussion on green tax reforms along subsequent sections One contribution of this section is to establish the corresponshydence between the well-known partial equilibrium and the general equilibrium counterpart through a graphical analysis

We develop a static rational general equilibrium model with an externality There are two types of agents heterogeneous households in preferences and firms There are a number of perfectly price-taker competitive firms and a techshynology with constant returns of scale therefore a single aggregate polluting firm could be considered Labor N is the only input required to produce a private good Y =F( )N and pollution E = Λ( ( )F N ) This formulation recognizes the complemenshytary relationship between the production of the private good Y and emissions E We will consider this relationship to be represented by a real monotonically inshycreasing function Λ( ) Hence the production function can be considered a

( ) ( ( ) F N )homomorphic function Ψ on R2 + such that Ψ N = YE) = (F N Λ( ( ))

Each household h is endowed with T units of time (eg hours per year) that are allocated between working time n h and leisure time l h The model is static

this condition the marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumpshytion equals the marginal productivity of labor at the optimum In other words an individual supplying one extra unit of working time increases production and their consumption but also it rises the environmental damages suffered by society which the social planner must internalize

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

T h = tE E + t Psum

h=1 h=1 h=1

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

( w1minus t )c h h

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

w In the benchmark case the social 0 0 0 0welfare level is given by U(0τ )= u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] + v[E(0τ )] whereas

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

mdash 20 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

24 We suppose a constant technical relationship between consumption of energy and emisshysions At the benchmark data the consumption of one dollar of energy generates 0026787394 tons of carbon emitted to the atmosphere

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

households transfers are

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

and consumption8 increased output and economic welfare9 or a mixture of them10 These vague definitions noted also in Pezzey and Park (1998 p 545) may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessments since it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reforms11 in addition some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005) recognize the difficulty to undertake an emshypirical analysis of the double dividend as long as ldquothere is no lsquostandardrsquo definition of the double dividend (or a standard method of recycling environmental tax revenues) in the literaturerdquo (p 566-567) and claim for ldquothe choice of an operashytive definition of the double dividend to be kept constant throughout our [emshypirical] analysesrdquo (p 576)

The second critique deals with the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions account for a global accepshytance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environmental tax or the need to reform the tax system Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent so the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend As a consequence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a criterion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis As Goulder (1994) noted a posishytive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system abstracting from any environmental concern12

Clearly these two previous critiques could have been avoided with an unamshybiguous definition for both dividends that did not create confusion among comshypeting policy objectives namely to reduce the level of an externality and to alleviate the tax distortions provoked by the fiscal system

The present paper aims to clarify the debate about what should be included as efficiency benefits and costs in the measurement of the environmental and second dividend In tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conshy

8 See Garbaccio Ho and Jorgenson (1999) 9 See Jorgensen and Wilcoxen (1993) 10 Bovenberg and van der Ploeg (1998) or Chiroleu-Assouline and Fodha (2005) 11 In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) They also recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are ineffishycient (p 1502) 12 In fact some authors like Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have recognized that the envishyronmental taxes could play an important role to ease political constraints to reform suboptishymal initial tax systems stating that ldquo[] environmental taxes are the lubricating oil that makes possible a tax reform to eliminate particularly bad taxesrdquo (pp 1507-08)

jecture the first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to houseshyholds by lump-sum transfers This first dividend comprises the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivation for the environmental policy which could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos divishydend in the public finance approach13 On the other hand the second dividend will measure the welfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers this second dividend comshyprises the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary motivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology14

The proposed definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings usually found in the double dividend literature such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms Second our definitions of the first and second dividends provide inshyformation by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes In fact these definishytions could be considered as a reformulation of Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis15 which compares two policy changes with difshyferent recycling options In addition Goulder (1995)rsquos strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this paper

For illustration purposes we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerishycal example for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax We show that alternative definitions for both dividends arrive to very different conclusions following the public finance approach we might conshyclude that the green tax reform improves welfare but there is a negative second

13 It could be interpreted also in terms of Pigoursquos taxes in opposition to Ramseyrsquos taxes This terminology have been extensively used in the literature See for example Mayeres and Proost (1997) or Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) 14 Interestinlgy this definition was already writen in Mayeres and Proost (1997 footnote 12) but as a result of a misinterpretation of Goulder (1995)rsquos terminology There are several problems with Mayeres and Proost (1997)rsquos terminology (i) the absence of a proper definishytion (ii) it is not clear if their first dividend includes only welfare effects related to changes in the externalities only and (iii) we can not be sure what they are really measuring by their first and second dividend in their empirical exercise when we compare explanations in main text Table 2a and footnote 15 That is efficiency costs of a revenue-neutral environmental tax reform are lower if the additional revenues from the environmental taxes are recycled in the form of lower distorshytionary taxes compared to the case that these revenues are recycled in a lump-sum fashion

dividend as expected However we found a positive double dividend when we use the new definition proposed in this paper

The paper develops through the following sections In Section 2 we present the Pareto-optimal allocation and the competitive equilibrium in our general equilibrium framework A feature of the model is that it allows to understand the magnitude of the inefficiency of market allocation of resources in the presence of externalities and to compare the results (even graphically) in a general equishylibrium setting with those found in well-known standard partial equilibrium analysis Section 3 is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends in a general equilibrium set-up It presents the competing approaches in the double dividend literature and shows that the public finance view overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes As a consequence this section proposes a definition for the first and second dividends Section 4 carries out a numerical example for the US economy showing that a positive double dividend could be possible as opposed to the public finance approach to conclude that the green tax reform will raise gross efficiency costs Finally Section 5 summarizes conclusions and policy implications

2 THE SOCIAL OPTIMUM AND THE DECENTRALIZED ALLOCATION

This section presents a framework to determine the social optimum and the decentralized market equilibrium allocation of resources with externalities This will be the benchmark set-up for further discussion on green tax reforms along subsequent sections One contribution of this section is to establish the corresponshydence between the well-known partial equilibrium and the general equilibrium counterpart through a graphical analysis

We develop a static rational general equilibrium model with an externality There are two types of agents heterogeneous households in preferences and firms There are a number of perfectly price-taker competitive firms and a techshynology with constant returns of scale therefore a single aggregate polluting firm could be considered Labor N is the only input required to produce a private good Y =F( )N and pollution E = Λ( ( )F N ) This formulation recognizes the complemenshytary relationship between the production of the private good Y and emissions E We will consider this relationship to be represented by a real monotonically inshycreasing function Λ( ) Hence the production function can be considered a

( ) ( ( ) F N )homomorphic function Ψ on R2 + such that Ψ N = YE) = (F N Λ( ( ))

Each household h is endowed with T units of time (eg hours per year) that are allocated between working time n h and leisure time l h The model is static

mdash 11 mdash

so there are neither savings nor capital accumulation Households enhance welshyfare by consuming the private good c h and leisure time l h and in addition the pollution E produced by firms affects each negatively Their preferences are represented by a twice-differentiable continuous utility function U h = (c hl hE) verifying partUh partc partUh partl are positive and partUh partE is negative and part2Uh partc2 and part2 U h part l 2 are negative while part 2U h partE2 part2Uh partcpart l and part2Uh part lpartc are positive16

The Pareto social optimum level of emissionsmdashThe social planner maximizes the agentsrsquo weighted welfare function subject to the technology to produce po- llution and the private good and the feasibility conditions consumption of goods

where λ and micro are the positive Lagrangian multipliers namely the former represhysents the social marginal utility from individual consumption of the private good whereas the latter stands for the social marginal utility from pollution Under

16 The complementarity or substitutability relationship between pollution and consumption or leisure may be crucial in certain results First pollution could be considered a source of agentsrsquo diseases not related to the other variables In this case eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h c ( ( )U ( lh E)= u c lh )+ v E pollution has no effect on labor supply Second pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of leisure since agents cannot carry out certain activities (eg swimshyming in polluted rivers etc) Hence a complementarity relation to leisure could be taken

h h h heg as U (c lh E)= c + v (lh E) Finally pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of consumpshytion (eg deterioration of consumerrsquos health illness) Therefore a complementarity relation

h h h h hto consumption could be for example U (c lh E)= v (c E)+ l In the last two cases labor supply and its slope are affected by an increase of pollution

this condition the marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumpshytion equals the marginal productivity of labor at the optimum In other words an individual supplying one extra unit of working time increases production and their consumption but also it rises the environmental damages suffered by society which the social planner must internalize

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

wh hincome restriction c = (T minus l ) where the real wage is w There is not a P P

market for pollution therefore competitive firms do not care about the extershynality and each household takes the amount of pollution as given Then we find

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

[EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

Figure 2 provides some hints about the amount of external costs in our general equilibrium setup The term σ(E) which is the difference between ϕ ( )E ϕ( ) is the marginal damage from one extra unit of labor suppliedand ˆ E

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

⎡ 2 h h ( ) h ⎤h h ⎢part U (c E l ( )( ) ( ) E E) partlpartE part2U h (c h ( ) E l h ( )E E partcpartE ⎥MRS E = MRS E minus

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

sumH w H H

T h = tE E + t Psum

h=1 h=1 h=1

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

( w1minus t )c h h

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

w In the benchmark case the social 0 0 0 0welfare level is given by U(0τ )= u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] + v[E(0τ )] whereas

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

mdash 26 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

206 Pigoursquos dividend versus Ramseyrsquos dividend in the double dividend literature Autores Eduardo L Gimeacutenez y Miguel Rodriacuteguez

jecture the first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to houseshyholds by lump-sum transfers This first dividend comprises the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivation for the environmental policy which could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos divishydend in the public finance approach13 On the other hand the second dividend will measure the welfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers this second dividend comshyprises the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary motivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology14

The proposed definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings usually found in the double dividend literature such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms Second our definitions of the first and second dividends provide inshyformation by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes In fact these definishytions could be considered as a reformulation of Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis15 which compares two policy changes with difshyferent recycling options In addition Goulder (1995)rsquos strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this paper

For illustration purposes we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerishycal example for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax We show that alternative definitions for both dividends arrive to very different conclusions following the public finance approach we might conshyclude that the green tax reform improves welfare but there is a negative second

13 It could be interpreted also in terms of Pigoursquos taxes in opposition to Ramseyrsquos taxes This terminology have been extensively used in the literature See for example Mayeres and Proost (1997) or Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) 14 Interestinlgy this definition was already writen in Mayeres and Proost (1997 footnote 12) but as a result of a misinterpretation of Goulder (1995)rsquos terminology There are several problems with Mayeres and Proost (1997)rsquos terminology (i) the absence of a proper definishytion (ii) it is not clear if their first dividend includes only welfare effects related to changes in the externalities only and (iii) we can not be sure what they are really measuring by their first and second dividend in their empirical exercise when we compare explanations in main text Table 2a and footnote 15 That is efficiency costs of a revenue-neutral environmental tax reform are lower if the additional revenues from the environmental taxes are recycled in the form of lower distorshytionary taxes compared to the case that these revenues are recycled in a lump-sum fashion

dividend as expected However we found a positive double dividend when we use the new definition proposed in this paper

The paper develops through the following sections In Section 2 we present the Pareto-optimal allocation and the competitive equilibrium in our general equilibrium framework A feature of the model is that it allows to understand the magnitude of the inefficiency of market allocation of resources in the presence of externalities and to compare the results (even graphically) in a general equishylibrium setting with those found in well-known standard partial equilibrium analysis Section 3 is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends in a general equilibrium set-up It presents the competing approaches in the double dividend literature and shows that the public finance view overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes As a consequence this section proposes a definition for the first and second dividends Section 4 carries out a numerical example for the US economy showing that a positive double dividend could be possible as opposed to the public finance approach to conclude that the green tax reform will raise gross efficiency costs Finally Section 5 summarizes conclusions and policy implications

2 THE SOCIAL OPTIMUM AND THE DECENTRALIZED ALLOCATION

This section presents a framework to determine the social optimum and the decentralized market equilibrium allocation of resources with externalities This will be the benchmark set-up for further discussion on green tax reforms along subsequent sections One contribution of this section is to establish the corresponshydence between the well-known partial equilibrium and the general equilibrium counterpart through a graphical analysis

We develop a static rational general equilibrium model with an externality There are two types of agents heterogeneous households in preferences and firms There are a number of perfectly price-taker competitive firms and a techshynology with constant returns of scale therefore a single aggregate polluting firm could be considered Labor N is the only input required to produce a private good Y =F( )N and pollution E = Λ( ( )F N ) This formulation recognizes the complemenshytary relationship between the production of the private good Y and emissions E We will consider this relationship to be represented by a real monotonically inshycreasing function Λ( ) Hence the production function can be considered a

( ) ( ( ) F N )homomorphic function Ψ on R2 + such that Ψ N = YE) = (F N Λ( ( ))

Each household h is endowed with T units of time (eg hours per year) that are allocated between working time n h and leisure time l h The model is static

mdash 11 mdash

so there are neither savings nor capital accumulation Households enhance welshyfare by consuming the private good c h and leisure time l h and in addition the pollution E produced by firms affects each negatively Their preferences are represented by a twice-differentiable continuous utility function U h = (c hl hE) verifying partUh partc partUh partl are positive and partUh partE is negative and part2Uh partc2 and part2 U h part l 2 are negative while part 2U h partE2 part2Uh partcpart l and part2Uh part lpartc are positive16

The Pareto social optimum level of emissionsmdashThe social planner maximizes the agentsrsquo weighted welfare function subject to the technology to produce po- llution and the private good and the feasibility conditions consumption of goods

where λ and micro are the positive Lagrangian multipliers namely the former represhysents the social marginal utility from individual consumption of the private good whereas the latter stands for the social marginal utility from pollution Under

16 The complementarity or substitutability relationship between pollution and consumption or leisure may be crucial in certain results First pollution could be considered a source of agentsrsquo diseases not related to the other variables In this case eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h c ( ( )U ( lh E)= u c lh )+ v E pollution has no effect on labor supply Second pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of leisure since agents cannot carry out certain activities (eg swimshyming in polluted rivers etc) Hence a complementarity relation to leisure could be taken

h h h heg as U (c lh E)= c + v (lh E) Finally pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of consumpshytion (eg deterioration of consumerrsquos health illness) Therefore a complementarity relation

h h h h hto consumption could be for example U (c lh E)= v (c E)+ l In the last two cases labor supply and its slope are affected by an increase of pollution

this condition the marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumpshytion equals the marginal productivity of labor at the optimum In other words an individual supplying one extra unit of working time increases production and their consumption but also it rises the environmental damages suffered by society which the social planner must internalize

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

wh hincome restriction c = (T minus l ) where the real wage is w There is not a P P

market for pollution therefore competitive firms do not care about the extershynality and each household takes the amount of pollution as given Then we find

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

[EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

Figure 2 provides some hints about the amount of external costs in our general equilibrium setup The term σ(E) which is the difference between ϕ ( )E ϕ( ) is the marginal damage from one extra unit of labor suppliedand ˆ E

by agent h Thus the area (integral) between these two functions in the ˆrange [EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs Thereshy

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

⎡ 2 h h ( ) h ⎤h h ⎢part U (c E l ( )( ) ( ) E E) partlpartE part2U h (c h ( ) E l h ( )E E partcpartE ⎥MRS E = MRS E minus

) (3)⎢ ⎢ partU h (c h ( )E l h h ) ⎥⎣ ( )E E partl partU h (c ( )E l h ( )E E) partc ⎥⎦

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

sumH w H H

T h = tE E + t Psum

hw (T minus l )+ tc sumc h (4)

h=1 h=1 h=1

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

( w1minus t )c h h

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

condition for equilibrium is the following given the government budget constraint h (~ ~ ~

partU c h l hE) partl ~ ~ ( )[ ( ( ))]partU h (

= τF N 1minus t E Λ F N ~h ~ c l h

~ E) partc

where 1minus t τ = w 1+ tc

17 It might be Pareto optimal if the consumption labor and pollution taxes are set as t = minust c w

and t =micro but we presume positive tax rates uniform across all individuals HoweverAn en-

vironmental tax like t =micro is not possible in the real world because of two reasons (a) it

should take a different value for each individual (actually it is the value for optimal compensashytions) and (b) it is supposed to be a tax on polluters

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

w In the benchmark case the social 0 0 0 0welfare level is given by U(0τ )= u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] + v[E(0τ )] whereas

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

mdash 20 mdash

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

h h h ρu ρuU (c l E)= [αC + (1minus α)l minus φE

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

mdash 23 mdash

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

dividend as expected However we found a positive double dividend when we use the new definition proposed in this paper

The paper develops through the following sections In Section 2 we present the Pareto-optimal allocation and the competitive equilibrium in our general equilibrium framework A feature of the model is that it allows to understand the magnitude of the inefficiency of market allocation of resources in the presence of externalities and to compare the results (even graphically) in a general equishylibrium setting with those found in well-known standard partial equilibrium analysis Section 3 is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends in a general equilibrium set-up It presents the competing approaches in the double dividend literature and shows that the public finance view overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes As a consequence this section proposes a definition for the first and second dividends Section 4 carries out a numerical example for the US economy showing that a positive double dividend could be possible as opposed to the public finance approach to conclude that the green tax reform will raise gross efficiency costs Finally Section 5 summarizes conclusions and policy implications

2 THE SOCIAL OPTIMUM AND THE DECENTRALIZED ALLOCATION

This section presents a framework to determine the social optimum and the decentralized market equilibrium allocation of resources with externalities This will be the benchmark set-up for further discussion on green tax reforms along subsequent sections One contribution of this section is to establish the corresponshydence between the well-known partial equilibrium and the general equilibrium counterpart through a graphical analysis

We develop a static rational general equilibrium model with an externality There are two types of agents heterogeneous households in preferences and firms There are a number of perfectly price-taker competitive firms and a techshynology with constant returns of scale therefore a single aggregate polluting firm could be considered Labor N is the only input required to produce a private good Y =F( )N and pollution E = Λ( ( )F N ) This formulation recognizes the complemenshytary relationship between the production of the private good Y and emissions E We will consider this relationship to be represented by a real monotonically inshycreasing function Λ( ) Hence the production function can be considered a

( ) ( ( ) F N )homomorphic function Ψ on R2 + such that Ψ N = YE) = (F N Λ( ( ))

Each household h is endowed with T units of time (eg hours per year) that are allocated between working time n h and leisure time l h The model is static

mdash 11 mdash

so there are neither savings nor capital accumulation Households enhance welshyfare by consuming the private good c h and leisure time l h and in addition the pollution E produced by firms affects each negatively Their preferences are represented by a twice-differentiable continuous utility function U h = (c hl hE) verifying partUh partc partUh partl are positive and partUh partE is negative and part2Uh partc2 and part2 U h part l 2 are negative while part 2U h partE2 part2Uh partcpart l and part2Uh part lpartc are positive16

The Pareto social optimum level of emissionsmdashThe social planner maximizes the agentsrsquo weighted welfare function subject to the technology to produce po- llution and the private good and the feasibility conditions consumption of goods

H

equals private good production sumch = Y the total number of hours worked at firms h=1

is equal to the sum of labour made by each households nh =N and each houseshyh=1

where λ and micro are the positive Lagrangian multipliers namely the former represhysents the social marginal utility from individual consumption of the private good whereas the latter stands for the social marginal utility from pollution Under

16 The complementarity or substitutability relationship between pollution and consumption or leisure may be crucial in certain results First pollution could be considered a source of agentsrsquo diseases not related to the other variables In this case eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h c ( ( )U ( lh E)= u c lh )+ v E pollution has no effect on labor supply Second pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of leisure since agents cannot carry out certain activities (eg swimshyming in polluted rivers etc) Hence a complementarity relation to leisure could be taken

h h h heg as U (c lh E)= c + v (lh E) Finally pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of consumpshytion (eg deterioration of consumerrsquos health illness) Therefore a complementarity relation

h h h h hto consumption could be for example U (c lh E)= v (c E)+ l In the last two cases labor supply and its slope are affected by an increase of pollution

mdash 12 mdash

this condition the marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumpshytion equals the marginal productivity of labor at the optimum In other words an individual supplying one extra unit of working time increases production and their consumption but also it rises the environmental damages suffered by society which the social planner must internalize

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

wh hincome restriction c = (T minus l ) where the real wage is w There is not a P P

market for pollution therefore competitive firms do not care about the extershynality and each household takes the amount of pollution as given Then we find

H⎧ h h ⎫the optimal market allocations given by c l Y N E and the first orshy⎨ h=1 ⎬⎩ ⎭

der condition for allocation of resources As a result the marginal rate of substishytution between leisure and consumption equals the marginal productivity of labor at the market equilibrium

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

[EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

Figure 2 provides some hints about the amount of external costs in our general equilibrium setup The term σ(E) which is the difference between ϕ ( )E ϕ( ) is the marginal damage from one extra unit of labor suppliedand ˆ E

by agent h Thus the area (integral) between these two functions in the ˆrange [EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs Thereshy

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

⎡ 2 h h ( ) h ⎤h h ⎢part U (c E l ( )( ) ( ) E E) partlpartE part2U h (c h ( ) E l h ( )E E partcpartE ⎥MRS E = MRS E minus

) (3)⎢ ⎢ partU h (c h ( )E l h h ) ⎥⎣ ( )E E partl partU h (c ( )E l h ( )E E) partc ⎥⎦

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

sumH w H H

T h = tE E + t Psum

hw (T minus l )+ tc sumc h (4)

h=1 h=1 h=1

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

mdash 20 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

The green tax equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ1 t1 E ) The global gains or losses in

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

E )minus U(τ 00) so that a difference with a positive sign will justify its implementation

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

16 The complementarity or substitutability relationship between pollution and consumption or leisure may be crucial in certain results First pollution could be considered a source of agentsrsquo diseases not related to the other variables In this case eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h c ( ( )U ( lh E)= u c lh )+ v E pollution has no effect on labor supply Second pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of leisure since agents cannot carry out certain activities (eg swimshyming in polluted rivers etc) Hence a complementarity relation to leisure could be taken

h h h heg as U (c lh E)= c + v (lh E) Finally pollution could decrease the ldquoqualityrdquo of consumpshytion (eg deterioration of consumerrsquos health illness) Therefore a complementarity relation

h h h h hto consumption could be for example U (c lh E)= v (c E)+ l In the last two cases labor supply and its slope are affected by an increase of pollution

this condition the marginal rate of substitution between leisure and consumpshytion equals the marginal productivity of labor at the optimum In other words an individual supplying one extra unit of working time increases production and their consumption but also it rises the environmental damages suffered by society which the social planner must internalize

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

wh hincome restriction c = (T minus l ) where the real wage is w There is not a P P

market for pollution therefore competitive firms do not care about the extershynality and each household takes the amount of pollution as given Then we find

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

[EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

Figure 2 provides some hints about the amount of external costs in our general equilibrium setup The term σ(E) which is the difference between ϕ ( )E ϕ( ) is the marginal damage from one extra unit of labor suppliedand ˆ E

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

⎡ 2 h h ( ) h ⎤h h ⎢part U (c E l ( )( ) ( ) E E) partlpartE part2U h (c h ( ) E l h ( )E E partcpartE ⎥MRS E = MRS E minus

) (3)⎢ ⎢ partU h (c h ( )E l h h ) ⎥⎣ ( )E E partl partU h (c ( )E l h ( )E E) partc ⎥⎦

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

sumH w H H

T h = tE E + t Psum

hw (T minus l )+ tc sumc h (4)

h=1 h=1 h=1

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

( w1minus t )c h h

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

w In the benchmark case the social 0 0 0 0welfare level is given by U(0τ )= u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] + v[E(0τ )] whereas

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

mdash 23 mdash

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

Decentralized level of emissionsmdashIn the decentralized competitive equili-brium firms maximize their profits which must be equal to zero as long as we assume price-taker competitive firms and constant returns to scale As a conseshyquence labour payment will be the only source of income although households are the owners of the firms Each household h maximizes utility subject to the

Individual self-interest leads each agent to equate their private marginal rate of substitution (or transformation) between leisure and the private good to relashytive prices which results in the equalization of private rates among agents On the contrary Pareto optimality requires the equalization of social rates and therefore conditions (1) and (2) permit us to show that the competitive equishylibrium with externalities is not Pareto efficient

Pareto social optimum and decentralized level of emissions a graphical analysis of partial and general equilibrium approachesmdashWe can illustrate the previous conclushysion with the usual partial equilibrium analysis (see Figure 1) The MPB curve represents the Marginal Private Benefits from polluting activities which is the sum of the consumers and producers surplus In absence of public regulation the competitive equilibrium at the level of emissions E is determined by the condishytion of null marginal private benefits from extra consumption and production

The social optimum is determined by the intersection point between the Marginal Social Damage from emissions (MSD) that is the monetarization of the negative externality and marginal private benefits (MPB) in Figure 1b This reshysult could be also represented graphically with the level of pollution that makes null the Marginal Social Benefits from emissions (MSB) ie MPB minus MSD Therefore the area (integral) under the MSD function in Figure 1b in the range

[EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

Figure 2 provides some hints about the amount of external costs in our general equilibrium setup The term σ(E) which is the difference between ϕ ( )E ϕ( ) is the marginal damage from one extra unit of labor suppliedand ˆ E

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

⎡ 2 h h ( ) h ⎤h h ⎢part U (c E l ( )( ) ( ) E E) partlpartE part2U h (c h ( ) E l h ( )E E partcpartE ⎥MRS E = MRS E minus

) (3)⎢ ⎢ partU h (c h ( )E l h h ) ⎥⎣ ( )E E partl partU h (c ( )E l h ( )E E) partc ⎥⎦

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

mdash 20 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

It is straightforward to establish the graphical equivalence between the partial equishylibrium analysis in Figure 1 and our general equilibrium framework First denote the function ( ) ( minusN E equiv Λ 1 E ) Then the function ϕo F ) ( (E) equiv F (N (E )) at the right hand side of (2) is decreasing with pollution because of the decreasing returns to scale of the production function F Intuitively the increase in labor is more than proportional to the increase in production and emissions Finally the function ϕ (E) equiv ϕ (E )[1 minus σ (E )] onthe right hand side of (1) is also decreasing and always below ϕ ( )E as

( ) microσ E = Λ (F( )N ) gt 0 Second the left hand side of (1) and (2) is the marginal rate of

Figure 2 provides some hints about the amount of external costs in our general equilibrium setup The term σ(E) which is the difference between ϕ ( )E ϕ( ) is the marginal damage from one extra unit of labor suppliedand ˆ E

by agent h Thus the area (integral) between these two functions in the ˆrange [EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs Thereshy

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

⎡ 2 h h ( ) h ⎤h h ⎢part U (c E l ( )( ) ( ) E E) partlpartE part2U h (c h ( ) E l h ( )E E partcpartE ⎥MRS E = MRS E minus

) (3)⎢ ⎢ partU h (c h ( )E l h h ) ⎥⎣ ( )E E partl partU h (c ( )E l h ( )E E) partc ⎥⎦

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

sumH w H H

T h = tE E + t Psum

hw (T minus l )+ tc sumc h (4)

h=1 h=1 h=1

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

( w1minus t )c h h

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

condition for equilibrium is the following given the government budget constraint h (~ ~ ~

partU c h l hE) partl ~ ~ ( )[ ( ( ))]partU h (

= τF N 1minus t E Λ F N ~h ~ c l h

~ E) partc

where 1minus t τ = w 1+ tc

17 It might be Pareto optimal if the consumption labor and pollution taxes are set as t = minust c w

and t =micro but we presume positive tax rates uniform across all individuals HoweverAn en-

E λ

vironmental tax like t =micro is not possible in the real world because of two reasons (a) it

E λ

should take a different value for each individual (actually it is the value for optimal compensashytions) and (b) it is supposed to be a tax on polluters

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

w In the benchmark case the social 0 0 0 0welfare level is given by U(0τ )= u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] + v[E(0τ )] whereas

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

h h h ρu ρuU (c l E)= [αC + (1minus α)l minus φE

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

mdash 23 mdash

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

mdash 26 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

Figure 2 provides some hints about the amount of external costs in our general equilibrium setup The term σ(E) which is the difference between ϕ ( )E ϕ( ) is the marginal damage from one extra unit of labor suppliedand ˆ E

by agent h Thus the area (integral) between these two functions in the ˆrange [EE ] over all individuals represents the external social costs Thereshy

fore it is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the partial equilibrium analysis in Figure 1a and our general equilibrium framework in Figure 2

The firm generating negative externalities will often produce too much as in the partial equilibrium illustration in Figure 1 However the general equilibrium effects namely the changes in price and income variables may countervail these intuitive results of partial equilibrium analysis (see Laffont 1988 p 14) The same could happen here Note first that the slope of MRSh(E) depends on the functional forms where the derivative is

⎡ 2 h h ( ) h ⎤h h ⎢part U (c E l ( )( ) ( ) E E) partlpartE part2U h (c h ( ) E l h ( )E E partcpartE ⎥MRS E = MRS E minus

) (3)⎢ ⎢ partU h (c h ( )E l h h ) ⎥⎣ ( )E E partl partU h (c ( )E l h ( )E E) partc ⎥⎦

which could either take a positive or a negative sign We explore three exshytreme cases for functional forms First pollution could be separable in the utility function not related to other variables eg the quasilinear approach

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v E

ply the MRSh ( )c l E ( ( ) In this case pollution has no effect on labor sup-

E function is constant and then the competitive stock of pollushytion is greater than the optimum ie E gt E The same happens if the individualsrsquo preferences will be specified such that pollution only affects the

h h h h hldquoqualityrdquo of consumption for example U ( = v (c E)+ h MRSh ( ) has ac l E) l E

positive slope and again E gt E However if the preferences have been represhysented by a quasilinear utility function with a complementary relationship betshy

h h h h h hween pollution and leisure ie U (c l E)= c + v (l E) then the MRSh (E) would be decreasing Firms will pollute less than optimum ie E lt E if there is a strong enough complementary relationship between pollution and leisure that is in the case that the MRSh (E) ϕ Eslope is lower than the ( ) slope in Fishygure 2 This result could never arise in partial equilibrium analysis as desshycribed in Figure 1

In the real world however a complementary relationship between pollution and leisure as well as between pollution and consumption are expected so whether the MRSh (E) slope is greater than the ϕ(E) slope in Figure 2 is an emshypirical issue to be tested

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

sumH w H H

T h = tE E + t Psum

hw (T minus l )+ tc sumc h (4)

h=1 h=1 h=1

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

( w1minus t )c h h

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

condition for equilibrium is the following given the government budget constraint h (~ ~ ~

partU c h l hE) partl ~ ~ ( )[ ( ( ))]partU h (

= τF N 1minus t E Λ F N ~h ~ c l h

~ E) partc

where 1minus t τ = w 1+ tc

17 It might be Pareto optimal if the consumption labor and pollution taxes are set as t = minust c w

and t =micro but we presume positive tax rates uniform across all individuals HoweverAn en-

E λ

vironmental tax like t =micro is not possible in the real world because of two reasons (a) it

E λ

should take a different value for each individual (actually it is the value for optimal compensashytions) and (b) it is supposed to be a tax on polluters

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

w In the benchmark case the social 0 0 0 0welfare level is given by U(0τ )= u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] + v[E(0τ )] whereas

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

h h h ρu ρuU (c l E)= [αC + (1minus α)l minus φE

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

3 THE DOUBLE DIVIDEND OF GREEN TAX REFORMS

This section is concerned with the welfare effects of green tax reforms and it aims to measure the first and second dividends of green tax reforms in a general equilibrium set-up The main results in this section are the following (i) the usual definitions of first and second dividends in the literature overestimates the effishyciency costs of green tax reforms and (ii) the analysis and definitions proposed below clarifies the welfare contributions of green tax reforms schemes an issue of great interest for academic and political discussion on this kind of environshymental regulation as it will be shown in section 4

The decentralized equilibrium allocations found in the previous section are not Pareto optimal because of the externality However the government could achieve a higher level of social welfare by affecting agentsrsquo behavior with taxes resulting in second-best allocations17 We proceed first by illustrating green tax reforms as a second-best solution when distortionary taxes finance the public budget Suppose that there is a Public Tax Office an agency authorized by the central government to tax private agents both households and firms in order to finance some (exogenous) lump-sum transfers to households ie Th for hisinH The menu of taxes twtctE consists of taxes on income t w on consumption goods t c and on pollution tE The budget constraint of the public sector is

sumH w H H

T h = tE E + t Psum

hw (T minus l )+ tc sumc h (4)

h=1 h=1 h=1

The representative firm maximizes profits subject to technological constraints and each household h maximizes its utility subject to the budget constraint

( w1minus t )c h h

c = (1+ tw ) (T minus l )+ T h Then it is straightforward to find that the optimal P

condition for equilibrium is the following given the government budget constraint h (~ ~ ~

partU c h l hE) partl ~ ~ ( )[ ( ( ))]partU h (

= τF N 1minus t E Λ F N ~h ~ c l h

~ E) partc

where 1minus t τ = w 1+ tc

17 It might be Pareto optimal if the consumption labor and pollution taxes are set as t = minust c w

and t =micro but we presume positive tax rates uniform across all individuals HoweverAn en-

E λ

vironmental tax like t =micro is not possible in the real world because of two reasons (a) it

E λ

should take a different value for each individual (actually it is the value for optimal compensashytions) and (b) it is supposed to be a tax on polluters

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

w In the benchmark case the social 0 0 0 0welfare level is given by U(0τ )= u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] + v[E(0τ )] whereas

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

represents the individual value of one extra unit of net income of taxes Thereshyfore in a second-best equilibrium the marginal rate of substitution equals the market productivity of labor net of taxes Observe that a rise on any of the tax rates moves the right-hand side downwards

Next we analyze the welfare effects of green tax reforms For the sake of easier exposition suppose that the welfare function is separable between conshysumption of environmental quality and consumption of other goods (leisure and the private good) so that any agent hrsquos utility function is given by

h h h h h h hU ( )= u c l )+ v Ec l E ( ( ) The social welfare function is the weightened aggreshygation of individual welfare levels that depends on the tax menu defined by the Public Tax Office

U(t τ) = u(C(t τ)L(t τ))+ v(E(t τ)) equivE E E E H

hequivsum[αhuh (c (tEτ) ( lh tEτ))+ αhvh(E(tEτ))] h=1

where C and L are the aggregate level of consumption and leisure respectively and αh is the weight for household h

We characterize two scenarios the pre-reform case with no environmental taxes (denoted as the benchmark case) where the tax menu is given by

0t t t = 0t t0 and the post-reform after the green tax reform where theE c w c w 1 1tax menu will change to tEtctw= tEtct1

w In the benchmark case the social 0 0 0 0welfare level is given by U(0τ )= u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] + v[E(0τ )] whereas

1 1U(t1 τ )= u[C(t1 τ1)L(t1 τ1)] + v[E(t1 τ )] is the welfare level achieved after the greenE E E E

reform Therefore the difference between the two scenarios welfare level 1 1U(tEτ )minusU(0τ0 ) represents the gains or losses of implementing the green tax

reform Finally the welfare changes from green tax reforms could be decomposed betshy

ween the first and the second dividend following the double dividend hypothesis A first or environmental dividend exists because environmental taxation reduces pollution and other negative externalities There is a second dividend when reducshytions in incentive-distorting taxes results in a lower excess of burden As pointed out by several authors (eg Labandeira 1998) these definitions are too vague to permit a single interpretation or a precise measurement and the literature shows alternative views on the double dividend hypothesis gathered into two main strands referred to as the ldquoenvironmentalrdquo and the ldquopublic financerdquo approaches

31 The environmental approach

The ldquoenvironmental viewrdquo is the departure point for the double dividend hyshypothesis and was originated on the research of Tullock (1967) Terkla (1984)

mdash 17 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

32 The public finance approach

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

mdash 18 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

mdash 20 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

Source own computations from Parry et al (1999 Table I) Note TOV is total output value TIV total input value and TCV total consumption value All values are in millions of 1995 US dollars except carbon emissions (in million tons)

24 We suppose a constant technical relationship between consumption of energy and emisshysions At the benchmark data the consumption of one dollar of energy generates 0026787394 tons of carbon emitted to the atmosphere

mdash 23 mdash

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

mdash 29 mdash

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

P (

+ y t )⎡1 Xh + Yh ⎤ c ⎢ ⎥ = (1minus t w )

⎡ w (T minus lh ) h ⎤ ⎢ + T ⎥

⎣ P x ⎦ ⎣ Px ⎦

There are H identical households with preferences represented by the utility σ

function U h ( 1 ρ 1 c hl h E)= [α c ρ + α l ρ ] minus φ E with c = [β σ σ

1 2 ( ) x X + βy Y y ] taken fromParry et al (1999) where φ() is an increasing and concave function that represhysents disutility from pollution In order to compute the equilibria analytically we choose ρ = 1 and σ = 0 set β2 = (1minusβ1) and α2 = (1minus α1) and reparametrize α equiv α1 and β equiv βx The production technology for both goods is linear X = F(Nx ) = AN x and Y = F(Ny ) =DNy and pollution is proportional to production

B E = Λ( )Y = X This greatly simplifies the labor market equilibrium by setting the

P goods price ratio y A minus t B

The interior competitive equilibriummdashConsider the proposed menu of taxes ⎧and the supply of the public sector good are ⎨ H h ⎫T h =1t E t c t wg⎬ For simplicity⎩ ⎭

we will assume that there is no public expenditure The competitive equilibrium when all taxes are considered that is tEtctw and g = 0 where tax revenue is

evenly given back to households Th is obtained from the first-order conditions and government budget constraint

⎭and no pollution tax exists ie t0

E = 0 A benchmark competitive equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ 0t0

pollution tax is devoted to reducing distorting taxes and keeping the final ⎧households transfers at their initial level ie H

The green tax equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ1 t1 E ) The global gains or losses in

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

E )minus U(τ 00) so that a difference with a positive sign will justify its implementation

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

households transfers are

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

mdash 52 mdash

Lee and Misiolek (1986) and Pearce (1991) This view stresses the desirability of environmental taxation because they could give some extra-benefits to society first they are one of the most efficient instruments for pollution control and second they provide an extra efficiency value when revenues finance reductions on other distorting taxes instead of bringing them back to households by lumpshysum transfers (see Terkla 1984)

Their analysis built on a partial equilibrium approach makes use of Figure 1 to highlight that emission level above Ecirc represents an inefficient allocation of resources Therefore it is necessary to reduce emissions and consumption in order to improve efficiency and social welfare The area under the marginal prishy

vate benefit (MPB) curve in the range [EE ] represents the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption (ie lower consumer surplus from polluting goods) As a consequence they concluded that there are no deadweight losses (efficiency losses) from green taxes as resources get closer to the social planner efficient allocation as shown in Section 2

But this is only true within a partial equilibrium analysis The interaction of green taxes with other distorting taxes may raise some efficiency losses (see Goulder 1995 Parry 1995 and Parry Williams and Goulder 1999) Unfortushynately due to the extensive use of partial equilibrium approaches this view does not provide a full characterization of both dividends to allow for an unamshybiguous definition and policy analysis

The ldquopublic financerdquo view has become the most widespread in literature in the 90rsquos (see Bovenberg and Goulder 2002 for a survey) This literature is mainly concerned with the non-environmental side of welfare changes from green tax reforms taking for granted a positive environmental dividend which probably stems from the difficulty of economic evaluation of the environmental benefits By circumventing these problems this approach studies the efficiency gains or losses in the tax system after the introduction of environmental taxes thus undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis that may be suitable for policymaker advice

Unlike the previous view the use of general equilibrium tools within the ldquopublic financerdquo approach allows for a full charaterization of the first and second dividend (as an illustration see Schoumlb 1996 Hakonsen 2001 Mayeres and Proost 2001) The first dividend strictly accounts for the environmentally reshylated welfare changes after the green tax scheme is completely implemented ie the decrease of the externality and it could be formalized as

1 1 0FD = u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )] PF E

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

mdash 20 mdash

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

h h h ρu ρuU (c l E)= [αC + (1minus α)l minus φE

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

mdash 23 mdash

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

whose positiveness is assumed by the public finance view The remaining nonshyenvironmental welfare changes are integrated in the second dividend that is

1 1 1 1 0 0SD = u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] PF E E

Thus the focus of the ldquopublic financerdquo view is on the second dividend and mainly on the efficiency of the tax system to raise fiscal revenues Actually we could trace the roots of this characterization in Ramseyrsquos optimal taxation theory when externalities are absent So the second dividend as the way it is treated in the public finance approach could be termed then as the Ramseyrsquos dividend

The ldquopublic financerdquo approach may be subject to criticism First the definition of the second dividend includes some costs that cannot be treated as efficiency costs which otherwise would ldquoimply a redefinition of this term as commomly understoodrdquo (Bohm 1997 p 121) We showed in Figure 1 that primary costs18

represented by the area under the MPB curve in the range [EE ] are the costs of reducing inefficient levels of emissions and consumption and should not be reshygarded as efficiency costs As long as the Ramsey or second dividend attending to the public finance view considers the non-environmental efficiency benefits and costs of green tax reforms this may lead to misinterpretations of policy assessshyments Consequently it overestimates the true efficiency costs of green tax reshyforms In this respect it is illustrative that Bovenberg and Goulder (2002) have to state to avoid misleading interpretations that these distortions in consumption patterns or input choice (primary costs) are desirable on environmental grounds (p 1501) as well as to recognize that the failure of the double-dividend claim does not imply that green tax reforms are inefficient (p 1502)

Therefore it would be desirable to consider an unambiguous definition for both dividends which does not create confusion among competing policy objecshytives namely to reduce the level of an externality and tax distorsions due to the fiscal system Accordingly it is attractive to have a sort of separability in the tax structure which might be taken to suggest that environmental taxes should be employed first with the Ramsey taxes being used to fill up the tax revenue reshyquirements (Sandmo 1995 p 24)

The second critique refers to the fact that the definitions of the first and second dividends do not provide information by themselves but they represent a partial view of the whole picture These definitions accounts for a global acceptance or rejection of a green tax reform and not for the suitability of setting an environshymental tax or the need to reform the tax system This global assessment is not in tune with Terkla (1984)rsquos spirit on the double dividend conjecture As a conseshyquence the requirement of a positive second dividend (as defined above) as a crishy

18 For an illustration of the diverse effects related to environmental taxes eg primary costs tax interaction effect and revenue recycling effects see Parry Williams and Goulder (1999)

mdash 19 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

1 ρi

ρ ρi iX = [γPx + (1minus γ)Lx ] 1ρ ρY = [δP i + (1minus δ)L i ]y y

( )x = ϑPxEx = Λ P

E = Λ( )P = ϑPy y y

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

ρu]1

1 ρ

h h h ρu ρuU (c l E)= [αC + (1minus α)l minus φE

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

households transfers are

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

mdash 52 mdash

terion to implement a green tax reform seems to be a very restrictive condition for the double dividend hypothesis Goulder (1995) noted that a positive second dividend would only prove the necessity to reform the current tax system absshytracting from any environmental concern19 Accordingly we suggest that more orthodox analyses should consist of integrating Ramsey and Pigou approaches esshytablishing a parallelism with Bovenberg and Goulder (2002 pp 1484-5)

33 A proposal of definition

Next we propose a new definition for both dividends that overcome both critiques and formalizes Goulder (1995)rsquos weak form of the double dividend hypothesis The first dividend will measure the welfare costs and benefits after the implementation of environmental taxes when revenues are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and it will be formalized as

1 0 0FD = U(t τ )minus U(0τ )= new E

1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0= u[E(t τ )]minus u[E(0τ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(t τ )]minus u[C(0τ )L(0τ )] E E E

These are the net benefits from reducing external costs the primary motivashytion for the environmental policy Accordingly it could be denoted as the Pigoursquos dividend in contrast to the Ramseyrsquos dividend in the public finance approach Therefore the Public Tax Office should set an environmental tax tE whenever the first dividend has a positive sign The second dividend will measure the welshyfare changes from recycling green tax revenues through lower distorting taxes instead of lump sum transfers that is

1 1 1 0SD = U(t τ )minus U(t τ )= new E E

1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0= u[E(tEτ )]minus u[E(tEτ )]+ u[C(t τ )L(tEτ )]minus u[C(tEτ )L(tEτ )] E

These are the net benefits from reducing distorting taxes the secondary moshytivation for green tax reforms ie the ldquoefficiency value of tax revenuesrdquo in Terkla (1984)rsquos terminology The reduction in distorting taxes affects labor supshyply and consumption which increase production and welfare as well besides

19 In fact this author distinguishes between the weak double dividend and the strong double dividend The latter stands whenever a positive second dividend exists The former holds as long as green tax reforms achieve higher welfare levels by cutting existing distorting taxation financed by environmental tax revenues instead of returning the revenues to taxpayers by lump-sum transfers There is no theoretical or empirical controversy about the achievement of weak double dividends by green fiscal reforms (lump-sum transfers do not provide any extra benefit to the economy) Researchers have turned to looking for conditions to get posishytive strong double dividends assuming some effectiveness on pollution reduction The weak and strong dividend definitions arose as a consequence of the rather limited meaning of the double dividend approach followed by the public finance view

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

E = Λ( )P = ϑPy y y

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

ρu]1

1 ρ

h h h ρu ρuU (c l E)= [αC + (1minus α)l minus φE

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

24 We suppose a constant technical relationship between consumption of energy and emisshysions At the benchmark data the consumption of one dollar of energy generates 0026787394 tons of carbon emitted to the atmosphere

mdash 23 mdash

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

some costs arise due to increased pollution from higher production levels go with which also increase pollution

Observe that our definitions make clearer Pezzey and Park (1998 sec 4) exposition avoiding some shortcomings (see their footnote 3) and could be rewritten as follows The weak form of the double dividend claim is that

1 1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(tEτ0 ) also known as the ldquorevenue-recycling effectrdquo that is welfare is raised by using the revenue of the environmental tax to lower the distortionary tax instead of to give taxpayers lump sum subsidies And the strong form is that

1 1U(tEτ ) gt U(0τ0 ) that is there is an economic benefit from the revenue-neutral substitution of a new environmental tax for a change in a typical distortionary tax so that the regulatory office should fully implement a green tax reform With regard to our proposal of definition the strong form is equivalent to the sum of the new first and second dividends put forward in this subsection

Our definitions of the first and second dividends have relevant implications for policy implementation as they establish a criterium on whether only a green tax should be set out or whether additionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Besides it avoids misleading interpretations like identificashytion of gross costs from green tax reforms with efficiency costs

Next we show the advantages of our definition with respect to alternative one for political assessment in a numerical example for 1995 US data

4 AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE US ECONOMY

In this section we undertake the experiment of introducing a green tax reshyform for the 1995 US economy Our main goal is to compare our definition of the first and second dividend with that proposed by the public finance view and to numerically assess the policy implications of the implementation of a green tax reform in a general equilibrium model

The set-up is the same as the one studied in previous sections except for one extension on the supply side Instead of one technology that produces one output with the labor input we will consider two technologies that produce two final goods in the economy an energy-intensive good X and a non-energyshyintensive good Y both produced with two inputs labor L and an intermediate pollution input P (Power) These extensions will be shown to be useful for imshyproving the modelrsquos ability to gauge the empirical significance of competing defishynitions for the dividends20 In the appendix we compute analitically a simplified

20 For example if there is only one good it is easy to show that any tax menu is always burshydened by the same item Consequently the equilibrium allocations after a green tax reform are exactly the same as the initial one Interestingly this means that the public finance view definitions of first and second dividends are both equal to zero whereas ours are not zero but with the opposite sign

11 i

i = ( minus ρi

version of this general equilibrium model without intermediate inputs which displays algebraically the relationship between different definitions of the first and second dividend21 furthermore it allows us to understand why a green tax reform cannot achieve the optimal tax menu In order to undertake a numerical example we take the following functional forms22 The production technology for the two industries is a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function

1 ρi

ρ ρi iX = [γPx + (1minus γ)Lx ] 1ρ ρY = [δP i + (1minus δ)L i ]y y

( )x = ϑPxEx = Λ P

E = Λ( )P = ϑPy y y

E =Ex +Ey

where γ ϑ δ and ρi are technological parameters and σ is the elasticity of subshystitution between inputs satisfying the condition that σ ) Preferences are also assumed to be represented by two nested CES utility functions with environmental damages included as a separable element affecting individual welshyfare in the outer nest the CES function combines the consumption of leisure l and goods produced by the firms C while the inner nest combines the conshysumption of goods X and Y That is

ρu]1

1 ρ

h h h ρu ρuU (c l E)= [αC + (1minus α)l minus φE

cρ ρc cC = [βX + (1minusβ)Y ]where α β ρ c ρ u and φ are parameters of the preferences The disutility from pollution represented by φ is taken from the benefits of carbon abatement (the marginal value of external damages) and set equal to $20 per ton of carbon that is φ( )E = 20E which is an average of the estimations found in the literature (for instance see Tol 2005)23 Parameter ρ u is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of goods and leisure and ρ c is related to the substitution possibilities between consumption of X and Y As in Parry et al (1999) the pashyrameter controlling the sensitivity of labor supply to the after-tax wage σ u is equal to 120 which implies an uncompensated and compensated labor supply elasticity of 15 and 03 respectively besides non-sleep leisure time equals 03

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

Source own computations from Parry et al (1999 Table I) Note TOV is total output value TIV total input value and TCV total consumption value All values are in millions of 1995 US dollars except carbon emissions (in million tons)

24 We suppose a constant technical relationship between consumption of energy and emisshysions At the benchmark data the consumption of one dollar of energy generates 0026787394 tons of carbon emitted to the atmosphere

mdash 23 mdash

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

Note ues in millions of 1995 US dollars Percentage values with respect to welfare level at the benchmark

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

mdash 29 mdash

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

P (

+ y t )⎡1 Xh + Yh ⎤ c ⎢ ⎥ = (1minus t w )

⎡ w (T minus lh ) h ⎤ ⎢ + T ⎥

⎣ P x ⎦ ⎣ Px ⎦

There are H identical households with preferences represented by the utility σ

function U h ( 1 ρ 1 c hl h E)= [α c ρ + α l ρ ] minus φ E with c = [β σ σ

1 2 ( ) x X + βy Y y ] taken fromParry et al (1999) where φ() is an increasing and concave function that represhysents disutility from pollution In order to compute the equilibria analytically we choose ρ = 1 and σ = 0 set β2 = (1minusβ1) and α2 = (1minus α1) and reparametrize α equiv α1 and β equiv βx The production technology for both goods is linear X = F(Nx ) = AN x and Y = F(Ny ) =DNy and pollution is proportional to production

B E = Λ( )Y = X This greatly simplifies the labor market equilibrium by setting the

A wreal wages at the infinitely elastic demand = A minus tEB and the consumption Px

P goods price ratio y A minus t B

= E Px D

The interior competitive equilibriummdashConsider the proposed menu of taxes ⎧and the supply of the public sector good are ⎨ H h ⎫T h =1t E t c t wg⎬ For simplicity⎩ ⎭

we will assume that there is no public expenditure The competitive equilibrium when all taxes are considered that is tEtctw and g = 0 where tax revenue is

evenly given back to households Th is obtained from the first-order conditions and government budget constraint

A green tax reformmdashThe benchmark is an economy where the menu of taxes ⎧without supply of the public sector good is ⎨ h H ⎫T h=1t E t c t wg⎬ = ⎩ ⎭

⎭and no pollution tax exists ie t0

E = 0 A benchmark competitive equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ 0t0

E ) After the green tax reform has been fully implemented the revenue from the

pollution tax is devoted to reducing distorting taxes and keeping the final ⎧households transfers at their initial level ie H

The green tax equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ1 t1 E ) The global gains or losses in

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

E )minus U(τ 00) so that a difference with a positive sign will justify its implementation

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

households transfers are

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

21 This approach is justified because derivation of first-order conditions from the numerical model is much more complicated and the expression for the dividends becomes meaningless 22 See Parry Williams and Goulder (1999) for a similar approach Analogous to that paper we make use of the software package GAMSMPSGE and the algorithm solver PATH to solve the numerical model 23 Actually this represents a conservative parameter Burtraw and Toman (2001) reviewed some empirical evidence about ancillary benefits in the US and concluded that average ancillary benefits per ton of carbon reduction are greater than $30US (1996 dollars)

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

times hours worked For simplicity we assume unitary elasticity of substitution between inputs and goods in the production and utility functions respectively That means a Cobb-Douglas function characterizing the consumption and proshyduction of final goods Therefore the elasticity of substitution σ u between conshysumption C and leisure l in the welfare function and between labor L and energy P in the production function σi are equal to one At the end of this section we will undertake a sensitivity analysis to test the robustness of the results under different parameter values

The baseline labor tax rate is equal to 40 which takes into account the sum of federal income state income payroll and consumption taxes ldquoThis average rate is relevant for the participation decisionrdquo (Parry et al 1999 p 65) This means that the distorting tax ratio τ0 is equal to 60 All tax revenues are given back to the households as a lump-sum transfer This convenient simplification allows us to overlook public expenditures without loss of generality The houseshyholdrsquos budget constraint is

The benchmark data set for the US economy in the year 1995 is summarized in Table 1 As mentioned only two final goods X and Y are produced in the economy (4551247 and 27142432 millions of 1995 dollars) The consumpshytion of energy P for the production of the two final goods X and Y is responsishyble for 14236 millions of tons of carbon emissions E to the atmosphere24

Source own computations from Parry et al (1999 Table I) Note TOV is total output value TIV total input value and TCV total consumption value All values are in millions of 1995 US dollars except carbon emissions (in million tons)

24 We suppose a constant technical relationship between consumption of energy and emisshysions At the benchmark data the consumption of one dollar of energy generates 0026787394 tons of carbon emitted to the atmosphere

mdash 23 mdash

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

Note ues in millions of 1995 US dollars Percentage values with respect to welfare level at the benchmark

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

mdash 26 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

Now we are ready to undertake a green tax reform and to compare different definitions of the first and second dividends We simulate the introduction of an exogenously given green tax t1

E equal to $10 per ton of carbon This is a relatively low tax rate so we follow a precautionary approach in order to derive robust conclusions from our analysis It is similar to some international estimation of equishylibrium prices for carbon permits in an international carbon market with grandshyfathering allocation of tradeable pollution permits for achieving Kyoto commitments (for instance see the surveys by Springer 2003 and Springer and Varilek 2004)

The environmental tax is modelled as an excise tax on the consumption of energy P given the close relationship between consumption of this good and emissions Revenue recycling through a lower labour tax rate complete the green tax reform with transfers fixed at the benchmark level so that τ1 = 6048 The effects of the green tax reform on emissions production activities and prices are summarized in Table 2

The increase in the price of energy P provokes as expected a significant reshyduction in the production and consumption of energy (-209) That reduces carbon emissions to the atmosphere by the same rate The rise in energy prices increases the costs in the energy-intensive sector X whose prices increase (+21) and reduces activity levels in that sector Accordingly in the economy there is a substitution of non-energy intensive goods Y for energy intensive goods X which are now cheaper in relative terms (-03 reduction in relative prices for Y) As a consequence of all these changes in economic and environshymental variables there is a relative increase in welfare (+0112) with respect to the benchmark and equal to 456198 million 1995 US dollars as it is shown in Table 3 Therefore the green tax reform is welfare-improving and it should be implemented

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

Note ues in millions of 1995 US dollars Percentage values with respect to welfare level at the benchmark

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

The contribution of this section is to assign the welfare changes from the green tax reform between the first and the second dividends In Table 3 we show the welfare gains after the implementation of the green tax reform and the results from different definitions of dividends These welfare measures were estimated using the definitions in Section 3 and the data in Table 2 The public finance approach concludes that there is not a positive double dividend because the second dividend is negative as it is usually found in the literature (see the survey in Bovenberg and Goulder 2002) That is the effects of the green tax reform on consumption and leisure reduce the efficiency in the economy (using Goulder 1995rsquos terminology)

Note ues in millions of 1995 US dollars Percentage values with respect to welfare level at the benchmark

However we reached a very different conclusion when we used the definishytions proposed in this paper (column denoted by New The second dividend now has a positive sign and the first dividend is still positive but lower than the counterpart for the public finance Note that the value of the first dividend now corresponds to the welfare changes following the lump-sum reform as reported in Table 2 that is the revenues from a $10 tax per ton of carbon are given back to households by lump-sum transfers and τ0 = τ1 So we can assert two conclushysions first the environmental tax is welfare-improving and therefore it should be implemented independently of the green tax reform and second there is an efficiency value of revenues raised by the environmental tax so there exist some extra benefits from a green tax reform

There are key policy implications stemming from these results As mentioned above the main interest of the ldquopublic financerdquo approach is on the second divishydend for two main reasons the difficulty of economic evaluation of environmental benefits and the fact that the definition of the second dividend is appropriate for cost-effectiveness analysis Following this approach the green tax reform will be rejected by a policymaker because it reduces efficiency in public finance termishynology by an amount equal to 13987 million 1995 US dollars As argued before

mdash 25 mdash

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

h hcentage) in emissions E aggregate welfare without pollution U (c lh ) and also h h htotal welfare U (c l E) that includes environmental damages following the apshy

plication of the green tax reform In general there is no significant change exshycept some sensitivity of results to the value of substitution elasticity between inputs in the production With that evidence we may conclude that the results in Tables 2 and 3 are robust in qualitative terms despite of course there exist some significant changes in quantitative values

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

mdash 26 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

The interior competitive equilibriummdashConsider the proposed menu of taxes ⎧and the supply of the public sector good are ⎨ H h ⎫T h =1t E t c t wg⎬ For simplicity⎩ ⎭

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

EBβ)⎫⎬ + φ(E(τ0 t1 E ))minus φ(E1)

1 1 ⎩ A ⎭(A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

some costs included in this second dividend do not represent a drop in efficiency when we use careful analysis Furthermore rejection should take place only when a 209 reduction in carbon emissions is not enough to counterbalance the above drop in efficiency within a cost-effectiveness analysis In general we may conclude that inaccurate negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the ldquopublic financerdquo view may have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since the 90rsquos

Finally we undertake a sensitivity analysis of the results involving the increase and reduction of 50 in the benchmark value of the elasticity parameters in the production and utility functions Table 4 shows the relative changes (in pershy

5 CONCLUSIONS

The popularity of green tax reforms as a relevant policy option increased rapidly at the beginning of the nineties to fall shortly at the end of the same decade As arshy

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

P (

+ y t )⎡1 Xh + Yh ⎤ c ⎢ ⎥ = (1minus t w )

⎡ w (T minus lh ) h ⎤ ⎢ + T ⎥

⎣ P x ⎦ ⎣ Px ⎦

1 2 ( ) x X + βy Y y ] taken fromParry et al (1999) where φ() is an increasing and concave function that represhysents disutility from pollution In order to compute the equilibria analytically we choose ρ = 1 and σ = 0 set β2 = (1minusβ1) and α2 = (1minus α1) and reparametrize α equiv α1 and β equiv βx The production technology for both goods is linear X = F(Nx ) = AN x and Y = F(Ny ) =DNy and pollution is proportional to production

B E = Λ( )Y = X This greatly simplifies the labor market equilibrium by setting the

A wreal wages at the infinitely elastic demand = A minus tEB and the consumption Px

P goods price ratio y A minus t B

= E Px D

The interior competitive equilibriummdashConsider the proposed menu of taxes ⎧and the supply of the public sector good are ⎨ H h ⎫T h =1t E t c t wg⎬ For simplicity⎩ ⎭

we will assume that there is no public expenditure The competitive equilibrium when all taxes are considered that is tEtctw and g = 0 where tax revenue is

evenly given back to households Th is obtained from the first-order conditions and government budget constraint

A green tax reformmdashThe benchmark is an economy where the menu of taxes ⎧without supply of the public sector good is ⎨ h H ⎫T h=1t E t c t wg⎬ = ⎩ ⎭

⎧⎨ T h0 H 0 0 ⎫= ⎩ h=10tc tw0⎬ That is all tax revenue is always given back to households

⎭and no pollution tax exists ie t0

E = 0 A benchmark competitive equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ 0t0

E ) After the green tax reform has been fully implemented the revenue from the

pollution tax is devoted to reducing distorting taxes and keeping the final ⎧households transfers at their initial level ie H

T h ⎫⎨ ⎩ h=1t E t c t w g ⎬ =

⎣⎢ ⎝ 1 ⎠ h=1 h =1 ⎦⎥ ⎢⎣ ⎝ P 1 ⎠ h=1 h=1 ⎥⎦

The green tax equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ1 t1 E ) The global gains or losses in

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

E )minus U(τ 00) so that a difference with a positive sign will justify its implementation

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

households transfers are

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

gued in this paper this quick rise and fall is related to the fact that mainstream double dividend literature advocated divergent approaches at different moments in time Now tradable pollution permits have took the lead in the policymakerrsquos agenda despite analyses showing that green tax reforms may be superior (see Parry Williams and Goulder 1999)

The double dividend hypothesis argues that two benefits or dividends may be attained namely a better environment and a less distorting tax system so that it could represent a win-win policy Thus a correct definition and thereshyfore a correct measurement of both dividends are of great relevance for policyshymakers advice and for any policy recommendation In this paper we specified which of the efficiency costs and benefits should be ascribed to the first dividend and the second dividend highlighting misinterpretations of policy assessments in the double dividend literature

For this purpose the paper presents a general equilibrium set-up with a pollushytionary externality and provides a new definition for the first dividend and the second dividend conformed to the double dividend hypothesis Our definitions show up two important advantages First it is avoided misunderstandings such as the identification between the second dividend and the efficiency costs of green tax reforms usually found in the double dividend literature Second they provide information by themselves and not as a partial view of the whole picture Hence the regulatory office is assisted to determine whether only a green tax should be set out regardless of the implementation of a green tax reform or whether addishytionally raised revenues should decrease any distorting taxes Accordingly we believe that these definitions will contribute to clarify the debate and represent operative definitions of the double dividend for empirical research as claimed by some authors like Patuellia Nijkamp and Pels (2005)

As an illustration we calibrated the theoretical model with a numerical examshyple for the US economy on 1995 We simulated a green tax reform by introducing a $10 tax per ton of carbon with revenues devoted to reduce the income tax to find that alternative definitions reached very different conclusions while the public finance approach concludes that the green tax reform improves welfare but ndashas expectedndash there is a negative second dividend the new definition proposed in this paper recognizes a positive double dividend

Regarding to policy implications a relevant conclusion refers to the fact that the public finance approach overestimates the efficiency costs of green taxes negative evaluations of green tax reforms by the public finance view might have been undermining their implementation in some OECD countries since 90s Thus the results obtained by either the empirical and theoretical literature might have lead economists and policymakers to favour the use of instruments like grandfathering pollution permits instead of taxes which represents a deparshyture from the polluters pay principle

mdash 27 mdash

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

mdash 29 mdash

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

P (

+ y t )⎡1 Xh + Yh ⎤ c ⎢ ⎥ = (1minus t w )

⎡ w (T minus lh ) h ⎤ ⎢ + T ⎥

⎣ P x ⎦ ⎣ Px ⎦

There are H identical households with preferences represented by the utility σ

function U h ( 1 ρ 1 c hl h E)= [α c ρ + α l ρ ] minus φ E with c = [β σ σ

1 2 ( ) x X + βy Y y ] taken fromParry et al (1999) where φ() is an increasing and concave function that represhysents disutility from pollution In order to compute the equilibria analytically we choose ρ = 1 and σ = 0 set β2 = (1minusβ1) and α2 = (1minus α1) and reparametrize α equiv α1 and β equiv βx The production technology for both goods is linear X = F(Nx ) = AN x and Y = F(Ny ) =DNy and pollution is proportional to production

B E = Λ( )Y = X This greatly simplifies the labor market equilibrium by setting the

A wreal wages at the infinitely elastic demand = A minus tEB and the consumption Px

P goods price ratio y A minus t B

= E Px D

The interior competitive equilibriummdashConsider the proposed menu of taxes ⎧and the supply of the public sector good are ⎨ H h ⎫T h =1t E t c t wg⎬ For simplicity⎩ ⎭

we will assume that there is no public expenditure The competitive equilibrium when all taxes are considered that is tEtctw and g = 0 where tax revenue is

evenly given back to households Th is obtained from the first-order conditions and government budget constraint

A green tax reformmdashThe benchmark is an economy where the menu of taxes ⎧without supply of the public sector good is ⎨ h H ⎫T h=1t E t c t wg⎬ = ⎩ ⎭

⎧⎨ T h0 H 0 0 ⎫= ⎩ h=10tc tw0⎬ That is all tax revenue is always given back to households

⎭and no pollution tax exists ie t0

E = 0 A benchmark competitive equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ 0t0

E ) After the green tax reform has been fully implemented the revenue from the

pollution tax is devoted to reducing distorting taxes and keeping the final ⎧households transfers at their initial level ie H

T h ⎫⎨ ⎩ h=1t E t c t w g ⎬ =

The green tax equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ1 t1 E ) The global gains or losses in

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

E )minus U(τ 00) so that a difference with a positive sign will justify its implementation

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

households transfers are

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

We do not intend to be exhaustive about their reasons but other considerashytions mainly regarding political feasibility issues are important (Stavins 1998) For example entrepreneurs constituted in lobbying groups prefer freely alloshycated tradable permits since they convey rents to firms with allocation surpluses and may raise entry barriers In addition policymakers may also favor them be-cause they hide to some extent the costs of the environmental protection over highly visible green policies such as environmental taxes and auctioned permits Concerns on competitiveness and distributional issues play also an important role in the comparisons among instruments

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

mdash 29 mdash

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

P (

+ y t )⎡1 Xh + Yh ⎤ c ⎢ ⎥ = (1minus t w )

⎡ w (T minus lh ) h ⎤ ⎢ + T ⎥

⎣ P x ⎦ ⎣ Px ⎦

There are H identical households with preferences represented by the utility σ

function U h ( 1 ρ 1 c hl h E)= [α c ρ + α l ρ ] minus φ E with c = [β σ σ

1 2 ( ) x X + βy Y y ] taken fromParry et al (1999) where φ() is an increasing and concave function that represhysents disutility from pollution In order to compute the equilibria analytically we choose ρ = 1 and σ = 0 set β2 = (1minusβ1) and α2 = (1minus α1) and reparametrize α equiv α1 and β equiv βx The production technology for both goods is linear X = F(Nx ) = AN x and Y = F(Ny ) =DNy and pollution is proportional to production

B E = Λ( )Y = X This greatly simplifies the labor market equilibrium by setting the

A wreal wages at the infinitely elastic demand = A minus tEB and the consumption Px

P goods price ratio y A minus t B

= E Px D

The interior competitive equilibriummdashConsider the proposed menu of taxes ⎧and the supply of the public sector good are ⎨ H h ⎫T h =1t E t c t wg⎬ For simplicity⎩ ⎭

we will assume that there is no public expenditure The competitive equilibrium when all taxes are considered that is tEtctw and g = 0 where tax revenue is

evenly given back to households Th is obtained from the first-order conditions and government budget constraint

h( ) α τ l τtE = T minus (A minus tEBβ) (A1)1minus α A

2 ) α ( α T and minusK β 1 β)with K0 = (1minus 1 = β [(1minus β)D] The aggregate utility function is

1minus α

U(τt h h hE ) = sum αhU (c l E) where αh is the household weights for the governshy

h

ment which for simplicity will be set equal for all αh = 1

A green tax reformmdashThe benchmark is an economy where the menu of taxes ⎧without supply of the public sector good is ⎨ h H ⎫T h=1t E t c t wg⎬ = ⎩ ⎭

⎧⎨ T h0 H 0 0 ⎫= ⎩ h=10tc tw0⎬ That is all tax revenue is always given back to households

⎭and no pollution tax exists ie t0

E = 0 A benchmark competitive equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ 0t0

E ) After the green tax reform has been fully implemented the revenue from the

pollution tax is devoted to reducing distorting taxes and keeping the final ⎧households transfers at their initial level ie H

T h ⎫⎨ ⎩ h=1t E t c t w g ⎬ =

⎭⎧ Hh0 ⎨ h ⎫= T =1t

1 t 1 t 1 E c w 0 ⎬ The new level of the distorting taxes ratio is

⎩ ⎭0 1

1 A(Aτ minus t E B) τ = (

(A6)A minus t 1

E Bβ) (A minus t 1E B)given that the following government budget constraint must hold

⎡ ⎛ ⎞ H H ⎤ ⎡ ⎛ ⎞ H H ⎤ t1 E 1 = ⎢t0 w ⎜ ⎟ T l h0 w

minus + t0 c h0 ⎥ minus ⎢t1 ⎜ ⎟ T minus l h1 + t1 h1 E w c ⎥ ⎜ 0 ⎟sum ( ) c sum w ⎜ 1 ⎟sum ( ) c

Psum

⎣⎢ ⎝ 1 ⎠ h=1 h =1 ⎦⎥ ⎢⎣ ⎝ P 1 ⎠ h=1 h=1 ⎥⎦

The green tax equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ1 t1 E ) The global gains or losses in

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

E )minus U(τ 00) so that a difference with a positive sign will justify its implementation

mdash 30 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

0 1 E= t1

E τ [1minusβ(A minus t B)]minus A ⎧

⎨K1(A minus t1 EB)β minus 1 (A minus t1

EBβ)⎫⎬ + φ(E(τ0 t1 E ))minus φ(E1)

1 1 ⎩ A ⎭(A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

A K ⎟⎝ ⎠ ⎝ 1 ⎠τ =

2⎛ 1 β ⎞⎜ α ⎛ α ⎞

⎟φ βBH⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎜ ⎟1minus α K ⎟⎝ 1 ⎠⎝ ⎠

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ 1 β ⎥⎛ ⎞

Th (τ AK minus1 βtE ) α

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

APPENDIX MEASURING THE DIVIDENDS IN AN ANALYTICAL EXAMPLE

mdash 29 mdash

In this appendix in a simple analytical example we illustrate the definitions of first and second dividends proposed above and we compare them with those proposed by the public finance approach Besides this analytical framework will be useful for showing that a green tax reform does not need to be an optimal taxation policy

Consider the same economy as that studied in Section 2 but now there are two goods in the economy X is produced with a dirty technology and Y is proshyduced with a clean technology The budget constraint is

P (

+ y t )⎡1 Xh + Yh ⎤ c ⎢ ⎥ = (1minus t w )

⎡ w (T minus lh ) h ⎤ ⎢ + T ⎥

⎣ P x ⎦ ⎣ Px ⎦

There are H identical households with preferences represented by the utility σ

function U h ( 1 ρ 1 c hl h E)= [α c ρ + α l ρ ] minus φ E with c = [β σ σ

1 2 ( ) x X + βy Y y ] taken fromParry et al (1999) where φ() is an increasing and concave function that represhysents disutility from pollution In order to compute the equilibria analytically we choose ρ = 1 and σ = 0 set β2 = (1minusβ1) and α2 = (1minus α1) and reparametrize α equiv α1 and β equiv βx The production technology for both goods is linear X = F(Nx ) = AN x and Y = F(Ny ) =DNy and pollution is proportional to production

B E = Λ( )Y = X This greatly simplifies the labor market equilibrium by setting the

A wreal wages at the infinitely elastic demand = A minus tEB and the consumption Px

P goods price ratio y A minus t B

= E Px D

The interior competitive equilibriummdashConsider the proposed menu of taxes ⎧and the supply of the public sector good are ⎨ H h ⎫T h =1t E t c t wg⎬ For simplicity⎩ ⎭

we will assume that there is no public expenditure The competitive equilibrium when all taxes are considered that is tEtctw and g = 0 where tax revenue is

evenly given back to households Th is obtained from the first-order conditions and government budget constraint

h( ) α τ l τtE = T minus (A minus tEBβ) (A1)1minus α A

( BH E )

α E τt = β τ(A minus t EB) (A5)1minus α A

2 ) α ( α T and minusK β 1 β)with K0 = (1minus 1 = β [(1minus β)D] The aggregate utility function is

1minus α

U(τt h h hE ) = sum αhU (c l E) where αh is the household weights for the governshy

h

ment which for simplicity will be set equal for all αh = 1

A green tax reformmdashThe benchmark is an economy where the menu of taxes ⎧without supply of the public sector good is ⎨ h H ⎫T h=1t E t c t wg⎬ = ⎩ ⎭

⎧⎨ T h0 H 0 0 ⎫= ⎩ h=10tc tw0⎬ That is all tax revenue is always given back to households

⎭and no pollution tax exists ie t0

E = 0 A benchmark competitive equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ 0t0

E ) After the green tax reform has been fully implemented the revenue from the

pollution tax is devoted to reducing distorting taxes and keeping the final ⎧households transfers at their initial level ie H

T h ⎫⎨ ⎩ h=1t E t c t w g ⎬ =

⎭⎧ Hh0 ⎨ h ⎫= T =1t

1 t 1 t 1 E c w 0 ⎬ The new level of the distorting taxes ratio is

⎩ ⎭0 1

1 A(Aτ minus t E B) τ = (

(A6)A minus t 1

E Bβ) (A minus t 1E B)given that the following government budget constraint must hold

⎡ ⎛ ⎞ H H ⎤ ⎡ ⎛ ⎞ H H ⎤ t1 E 1 = ⎢t0 w ⎜ ⎟ T l h0 w

minus + t0 c h0 ⎥ minus ⎢t1 ⎜ ⎟ T minus l h1 + t1 h1 E w c ⎥ ⎜ 0 ⎟sum ( ) c sum w ⎜ 1 ⎟sum ( ) c

Psum

⎣⎢ ⎝ 1 ⎠ h=1 h =1 ⎦⎥ ⎢⎣ ⎝ P 1 ⎠ h=1 h=1 ⎥⎦

The green tax equilibrium is (A1)-(A5) for (τ1 t1 E ) The global gains or losses in

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

E )minus U(τ 00) so that a difference with a positive sign will justify its implementation

mdash 30 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

0 1 E= t1

E τ [1minusβ(A minus t B)]minus A ⎧

⎨K1(A minus t1 EB)β minus 1 (A minus t1

EBβ)⎫⎬ + φ(E(τ0 t1 E ))minus φ(E1)

1 1 ⎩ A ⎭(A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

A K ⎟⎝ ⎠ ⎝ 1 ⎠τ =

2⎛ 1 β ⎞⎜ α ⎛ α ⎞

⎟φ βBH⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎜ ⎟1minus α K ⎟⎝ 1 ⎠⎝ ⎠

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ 1 β ⎥⎛ ⎞

Th (τ AK minus1 βtE ) α

= K1 β ⎢ ⎥1 1minus 1 ⎜A(1minusβ)+ ⎟

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

welfare from the green tax reform are equal to the difference between U(τ1 t1

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

mdash 31 mdash

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 1 0 1SD =U(τ t )minusU(τ t )= new E E

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

The first and second dividend according to the public finance approachmdashThe public finance approach (see ie Schoumlb 1996 or Mayeres and Proost 2001)compares the benchmark equilibrium with the resulting equilibrium after the green tax is fully implemented The first dividend would be computed as the final effect of the

0 1FD = φ(E(τ 0))minus φ(E(τ t1 ))PF E

which is unambiguously positive when distorting taxes decrease τ1 lt τ0 and the second dividend is

1⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 βSDPF = τ ⎨K1(A minus tEB) + (1minus α)T minus (A minus t Bβ) minus τ K1A + (1minus α)T minus1E ⎬⎩ A ⎭

where τ1 is the distorting tax ratio found in (A6) However the sign of the secshyond dividend is uncertain as there are some trade-offs between changes in conshysumption and leisure

The first and second dividends in our definitionmdashIn order to compute our defishynitions we need to establish a fictitious intermediate step in the full implemenshytation of the green tax reform Taking the benchmark tax menu as a departure point we introduce the environmental tax t1E while keeping all other tax ratios constant τ0 so that the additional tax revenues are given back to households in

⎧ h H ⎫lump-sum transfers like those found in (A3) that is ⎨T = tEt twg⎬ = h 1 c⎩ ⎭⎧ h1 1 0 0 ⎫ ⎩

⎭= ⎨ T

H h=1tEtc tw0⎬ Due to general equilibrium arguments a new competitive

equilibrium and a new tax revenue are obtained from (A1)-(A5) for (τ0 t1 E ) Our

definition of the first dividend following the introduction of the pollution tax gathers the welfare effects for reducing external costs

0 1 0FD =U(τ t )minusU(τ 0)= new E

β = ⎨K ⎢ ⎥ t + φ( ) E ))τ0 ⎧ ⎡(A minus t1B) minus Aβ ⎤ +

Bβ 1 ⎫⎬ E0 minus φ( (τ0 t1

1 E E E⎩ ⎣ ⎦ A ⎭

The sign of the first dividend is uncertain Although the last difference is posishytive because the tax reduces pollution the first difference is probably negative This is because the pollution tax is now distorting the allocation between conshysumption and leisure and therefore the utility from the aggregate of both must be lower than the benchmark level following the revealed preferences The key innovation in our definition of first dividend is that it allows us to decide whether the regulatory office should apply a tax on pollution although no green tax reshyform would finally be implemented That is if the first dividend is positive it will make some sense to consider the application of the pollution tax because there are some improvements in welfare (internalization of external costs)

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

1 0 ⎧ 1 β 1 1 ⎫ 0 1 1= [τ minus τ ] K (A minus t B) minus (A minus t Bβ) + φ(E(τ t ))minus φ(E )=⎨ 1 E E ⎬ E⎩ A ⎭

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

φ E = φE2 The optimal taxation menu τ tE in the example is given by

Next we measure the second dividend gathering the general equilibrium effects when the distorting taxes are reduced or have to be increased to keep the same transfers level25

which may be positive or negative To sum up there are important advantages of our definitions for they allow

us to show whether a pollution tax should be set to improve welfare abstracting from green tax reforms With regard to the public fiscal approach definitions of the first and second dividend however they only show if a green tax reform has to be implemented or not

The green tax reform and the optimal taxation schememdashFinally the analytical example studied shows that a green tax reform does not necessarily achieve the optimal taxation Let us take the parametrization for the disutility from pollution ( ) ( )partUh (τtE ) partτ = 0 and partUh(τtE ) parttE = 0 which gives us the following expression

1 β

t A 1 ⎛ α ⎞

E = minus ⎜ ⎟⎜ ⎟B B ⎝ K1 ⎠ ⎛ 1 β ⎞β ⎜ ⎛ α ⎞ ⎟A minus ⎜ ⎟ minus⎜ ⎜ ⎟ (1minus α)

1minus α ⎢ 2 ⎜ 1 β ⎟⎥⎛ α ⎞ 1 β ⎝ K⎢ φ⎜ BH⎟ βK 1 ⎠ ⎥ ⎢ ⎠ 1 ⎣ ⎝ 1minus α ⎥⎦

25 An extreme example is the case when there are no taxes initially τ0 = 1 and then no tax

Th0revenue or household transfers = 0 exist After a green tax reform with t1 tax revenueE

is positive and then some subsidy will be undertaken to keep household transfers to the inishy

tial zero level that is τ1 gt 0 so t1 lt 0 or t1 lt 0 w c

mdash 32 mdash

Instituto de Estudios Fiscales

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

Th0Observe that the initial transfers for each h = 1 H are not necessarily h equal to T (τ tE

) so the green tax reform will not mean to achieve optimal taxation Furthermore assume that the government never considered a pollushytion tax so tE

0 = 0 but it sets the available or existing taxes at its optimal taxashy

K1Aβ minus αtion level In this case the distorting tax ratio is τ = and the

⎛ α ⎞2

φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠

households transfers are

⎡ ⎤ ⎢ ⎥

h α K Aβ minus α⎢ 1 ⎥T (τ 0) = A 1minus⎢ 2 ⎥1minus α ⎛ α ⎞⎢ φ⎜β BH⎟ ⎥ ⎢ ⎝ 1minus α ⎠ ⎥⎣ ⎦

In consequence if the government later realizes that the tax menu could be modified with a green tax reform the optimal taxation menu will never be achieved First observe that the distorting tax is obtained as in (A6) ie

1 A(Aτ minus tEB) h ττ =

Then initial transfers T ( 0) for each h = 1 H will (A minus t Bβ) (A minus t B)E E

remain the same after the implementation of the reform even in the case that the tax on pollution is taken at its optimal value tE

which clearly differs from h 1 h those obtained in optimal taxation ie T (τ tE ) ne T (τ tE

) The issue here is that we cannot achieve the optimal taxation menu implementing a tax reform that imposes a constant transfers pattern set at its initial level

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga

SIacuteNTESIS

PRINCIPALES IMPLICACIONES DE POLIacuteTICA ECONOacuteMICA

Este trabajo analiza las denominadas reformas fiscales verdes una propuesta fiscal que combina dos poliacuteticas consistentes en introducir nuevos impuestos ambientales para reducir la externalidad negativa obtenieacutendose un beneficio denominado primer dividendo o dividendo medioambiental y conseguir un beneficio adicional denominashydo segundo dividendo al dedicar los ingresos fiscales obtenidos a reducir otros imshypuestos distorsionantes (por ejemplo impuestos sobre la renta o el trabajo)

Los objetivos de este trabajo son destacar las interpretaciones erroacuteneas existentes en la literatura del doble del dividendo especificar queacute costes y beneficios deben ser atribuidos a cada dividendo y proponer una nueva definicioacuten del primer y segundo dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes

Recogiendo el espiacuteritu de los primeros planteamientos de la hipoacutetesis del doble del dividendo de las reformas fiscales verdes en la literatura defendemos que el primer dividendo debe medir los costes y beneficios de la introduccioacuten de impuestos ambienshytales cuando sus ingresos son devueltos a los ciudadanos mediante transferencias de suma fija Este primer dividendo comprende los beneficios netos de reducir los costes externos (contaminacioacuten) la motivacioacuten primaria de la poliacutetica ambiental y que podriacutea denominarse como el dividendo de Pigou en contraste con el dividendo de Ramsey utilishyzado en la literatura Por otra parte el segundo dividendo mediraacute los cambios en el bienestar de reciclar la recaudacioacuten verde mediante reducciones en otros impuestos este segundo dividendo incluiriacutea los beneficios netos obtenidos mediante la reduccioacuten de impuestos distorsionantes la motivacioacuten secundaria de las reformas fiscales verdes es decir el valor de la eficiencia de los ingresos fiscales verdes siguiendo la terminoshylogiacutea en Terkla (1984)

Nuestras definiciones presentan dos ventajas importantes Primero evitan habituashyles malentendidos tales como la identificacioacuten entre el segundo dividendo y los costes de eficiencia de las reformas fiscales verdes En segundo lugar proporcionan informashycioacuten por siacute mismas y no como una aproximacioacuten parcial del cuadro de una poliacutetica fisshycal maacutes general Por lo tanto el regulador dispone de mayor informacioacuten para determinar si debe introducir un nuevo impuesto verde sin que ello implique la puesta en praacutectica de una reforma fiscal verde o si ademaacutes los ingresos fiscales obtenidos deben reciclarse para reducir un determinado impuesto distorsionante De hecho las definiciones propuestas podriacutean considerarse como una reformulacioacuten del doble divishydendo deacutebil en Goulder (1995) siendo ademaacutes la suma de ambas equivalente al doble dividendo fuerte en Goulder (1995)

Como conclusioacuten una consecuencia relevante con implicaciones de poliacutetica signifishycativas es que el enfoque de anaacutelisis habitual en la literatura del doble dividendo soshybreestima los costes de eficiencia de los impuestos ambientales evaluaciones negativas

mdash 39 mdash

pueden haber dificultado la puesta en praacutectica de reformas fiscales verdes en algunos paiacuteses de la OCDE desde los antildeos 90 Asiacute los resultados obtenidos por la literatura empiacuterica y teoacuterica pueden haber condicionado que economistas y poliacuteticos hayan promocionado el uso de instrumentos como permisos de contaminacioacuten negociables distribuidos gratuitamente en lugar de impuestos lo cual representa una desviacioacuten del principio de quien contamina paga
