Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to show the importance of life insurance from an environmental policy perspective. Within the framework of an overlapping generations model, we derive the emissions tax rate required to achieve zero net pollution. Our model implies that the emissions tax rate is always lower in the case with life insurance than it is without life insurance. The results suggest that life insurance helps as an instrumen tfor increasing gross domestic product performance when the government implements a zero net emissions policy.
