| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One of the main purposes of this research project is to examine into the optimal environmental tax to reduce the worsening of the environmental quality vis-a-vis the globalized economies. Two tax schemes are compared: production based levy and consumption based levy. The former sets the environmental tax rate by imputing the marginal social cost of pollution caused by the domestic production activities while the latter sets the tax rate by assesing the consumption activities including exports and imports. The optimal tax rate theoretically obtaind is, in most cases, the one based on consumption activities. This is a striking result in these days of globalization.
In order to assesse the real economic tax levey, I visited and examined several places that confront with the trade-off between economic development and environment protection, only to reach the conclusion that stresses the protection on the environment and pursue the sustainable economic development.
