Environmental levies and distortionary taxation: comment

Article Abstract:

A. Lans Bovenberg and Ruud A. de Mooij (1994) oppose the view which suggests that the government's revenue requirements should be solved by raising taxes on dirty goods by more than the taxes on clean goods. They derived their results from a normalization where the tax on clean goods is zero where the tax on dirty goods can be interpreted as always being below the Pigovian rate. The said results are reinterpreted using their model with equal tax rates on both goods and labor.
