Tax on the carbon dioxide emissions: an analysis of the european case
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article performs data analysis with panel-vector autoregressive (PVAR) data for determining the effectiveness of the environmental taxes upon the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the mining and transport sector in thirty-five European countries. An econometric analysis is performed with simultaneous variables as are the taxes and the CO2 generation, which are affecting one another. The most relevant result of this study displays how the CO2 emissions of the transport and mining sectors are not affected by the taxes. This is a very important discussion for Colombia given that only recently it taxes carbon emissions and it has a great use potential in the fossil energy industries, which also generates contaminating emissions.
