MEASUREMENTOF CO2 EMISSIONS REDUCTION EFFECT AND ECONOMIC IMPACT BY INTRODUCING THE TAX FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION - FORCUSING IMPACT TO AUTOMOBILE TRANSPORT -

Abstract

 Tax for climate change mitigation was introduced in October, 2012. CO₂ reduction effects are expected by introduced this tax, however influences for economic activities are afraid. Because introduction of a tax brings about the excess burden (Deadweight loss) of a tax. So we are necessary to argue adoptability of environmental tax by discerned the effects of CO₂ reduction and economic impacts by generating deadweight loss. In this paper, we measure the CO₂ reduction effects and economic impacts by intoroduced the tax for climate change mitigation with CGE approach, which is forcusing the transport firm, and private transport section.
