IS ENVIRONMENTAL TAX EFFECTIVE FOR TOTAL EMISSION CONTROL OF CARBON DIOXIDE?: Systems Analysis of an Environmental-Economic Model

摘要

This paper deals with how to analyze the effectiveness of environmental tax (carbon tax) for controlling the total emission of carbon dioxide. The problem is formulated by using Leontief-type input-output model which represents a national environmental-economic model, where the environ-mental tax paid for emission of untreated carbon dioxide is included in the model. A numerical ex-ample based on the inter-industry table obtained in 1985, is included.
