EETGTR 2019 : Special Issue: Economics of Environmental Taxes and Green Tax Reforms

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental taxes and green tax reforms are increasingly seen as powerful tools to promote a transition to sustainable societies. It is common knowledge that environmental taxes constitute a cost-effective corrective approach and contribute to the development and use of clean technologies. Environmental taxes can actually be applied on a myriad of environmental problems, with climate change mitigation as a clear candidate, and be part of a wider (green) tax reform scheme with distributional and/or revenue objectives.

This Special Issue welcomes, through this call for papers, contributions in the field of economics on the design, implementation and assessment of environmental taxes and green tax reforms. The issue will also incorporate invited papers from leading academic figures in the field.
