the impact of a Carbon Tax on economic growth and Carbon dioxide emissions in ireland
Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 2013Co-Authors: Thomas Conefrey, John Fitz Gerald, Laura Malaguzzi Valeri, Richard S J TolAbstract:This paper analyses the medium-term effects of a Carbon Tax on growth and CO2 emissions in Ireland, a small open economy. We find that a double dividend exists if the Carbon Tax revenue is recycled through reduced income Taxes. If the revenue is recycled by giving a lump-sum transfer to households, a double dividend is unlikely. We also determine that a greater incidence of the Carbon Tax falls on capital than on labour. When combined with a decrease in income Tax, there is a clear shift of the Tax burden from labour to capital. Finally, most of the effect on the economy is due to changes in the competitiveness of the manufacturing and market services sectors.

the distributional implications of a Carbon Tax in ireland
Research Papers in Economics, 2008Co-Authors: Tim Callan, Sean Lyons, Susan V Scott, Richard S J Tol, Stefano F VerdeAbstract:We study the effects of Carbon Tax and revenue recycling across the income distribution in the Republic of Ireland. In absolute terms, a Carbon Tax of ?20/tCO2 would cost the poorest households less than ?3/week and the richest households more than ?4/week. A Carbon Tax is regressive, therefore. However, if the Tax revenue is used to increase social benefits and Tax credits, households across the income distribution can be made better off without exhausting the total Carbon Tax revenue.

the impact of a Carbon Tax on international tourism
Transportation Research Part D-transport and Environment, 2007Co-Authors: Richard S J TolAbstract:A simulation model of international tourist flows is used to estimate the impact of a Carbon Tax on aviation fuel. The effect of the Tax on travel behaviour is small: A global Tax of $1000/t C would change travel behaviour and reduce Carbon dioxide emissions from international aviation by 0.8%. A Carbon Tax on aviation fuel would particularly affect long-haul flights, because of high emissions, and short-haul flights, because of the emission during take-off and landing. Medium distance flights would be affected least. This implies that tourist destinations that rely heavily on short-haul flights or on intercontinental flights will see a decline in international tourism numbers, while other destinations may see international arrivals rise. If the Tax is only applied to the European Union, tourists would stay closer to home and European tourism would grow at the expense of other destinations. Sensitivity analyses reveal that the qualitative insights are robust.

the impact of a Carbon Tax on international tourism
2006Co-Authors: Richard S J TolAbstract:A simulation model of international tourist flows is used to estimate the impact of a Carbon Tax on aviation fuel. The effect of the Tax on travel behaviour is small: A global $1000/tC would change travel behaviour to reduce Carbon dioxide emissions from international aviation by 0.8%. This is because the imposed Tax is probably small relative to the air fare. A $1000/tC Tax would less than double air fares, and have a smaller impact on the total cost of the holiday. In addition, the price elasticity is low. A Carbon Tax on aviation fuel would particularly affect long-haul flights, because of high emissions, and short-haul flights, because of the emission during take-off and landing. Medium distance flights would be affected least. This implies that tourist destinations that rely heavily on short-haul flights (that is, islands near continents, such as Ireland) or on intercontinental flights (e.g., Africa) will see a decline in international tourism numbers, while other destinations may see international arrivals rise. If the Tax is only applied to the European Union, EU tourists would stay closer to home so that EU tourism would grow at the expense of other destinations. Sensitivity analyses reveal that the qualitative insights are robust. A Carbon Tax on aviation fuel would have little effect on international tourism, and little effect on emissions.

a fuzzy goal programme with Carbon Tax policy for brownfield tyre remanufacturing strategic supply chain planning
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2018Co-Authors: Lokesh Kumar Saxena, Pramod Kumar Jain, Apurbba Kumar SharmaAbstract:Abstract A comprehensive tyre remanufacturing supply chain strategic planning model is proposed under uncertainty and group decision making environment for reconfigurable supply chain to integrate business economics with Carbon Tax policy. To solve the proposed fuzzy multi-objective mixed integer programme model, a methodology is designed by combining various techniques. Numerical experiments were conducted to provide important policy insights for industry practitioners and the government such as (1) developed Carbon Tax-reward policy and Carbon-Tax- reward-forex policy other than Carbon Tax policy for future tyre remanufacturing supply chain Carbon emission policies, (2) evaluated the possible influence of distance of used product suppliers from initial deposit facility on reconfigurable tyre remanufacturing strategic supply chain planning, (3) designed the measure of the greenness i.e. the greenness index of various tyre remanufacturing supply chains to compare various supply chains in the tyre remanufacturing industry, (4) suggested the foreign exchange (forex) reward rate for a tyre remanufacturing supply chain on basis of its greenness index in the tyre remanufacturing industry.

Tactical supply chain planning for tyre remanufacturing considering Carbon Tax policy
The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 2018Co-Authors: Lokesh Kumar Saxena, Pramod Kumar Jain, Apurbba Kumar SharmaAbstract:Greenhouse gas emissions are receiving greater concern in the world due to the recent Paris climate agreement with announcement of Carbon emission targets by various countries to reduce anthropogenic global climate change. Industry and their supply chains are a major source of Carbon emissions. Consequently, manufacturing firms have realized the importance of adopting environmental friendly supply chain management (SCM) practices and are implementing such plans in their business operations. The study presents a tyre remanufacturing supply chain tactical planning model that integrates economic and Carbon emission objectives with a Carbon Tax policy consideration. A modified cross-entropy solution method was employed to solve the tyre remanufacturing tactical supply chain planning model with commercial solver. Numerical experiments are completed utilizing data from Indian tyre remanufacturing industry. The analysis of the numerical results give important organizational insights for industry practitioners and policy insights for the government on (1) possible financial and emissions reduction impacts of a Carbon Tax rate at the tyre remanufacturing supply chain tactical planning level, (2) the use of profit/emission objective trade off analysis for making informed decisions on investments in Carbon emission reduction technology, and (3) possible way to decide Carbon price for maximum environmental returns achieved without substantial impacts on the economy and competitive positioning of firms. Two Carbon saving indices have been proposed for evaluation of Carbon scenarios. The results have been analyzed with the help of these indices. A Carbon Tax and reward policy (CER) has also been proposed.

the impact of a Carbon Tax on manufacturing evidence from microdata
Journal of Public Economics, 2014Co-Authors: Ralf Martin, Laure B De Preux, Ulrich J WagnerAbstract:We estimate the impact of a Carbon Tax on manufacturing plants using panel data from the UK production census. Our identification strategy builds on the comparison of outcomes between plants subject to the full Tax and plants that paid only 20% of the Tax. Exploiting exogenous variation in eligibility for the Tax discount, we find that the Carbon Tax had a strong negative impact on energy intensity and electricity use. No statistically significant impacts are found for employment, revenue or plant exit.

Tactical supply chain planning under a Carbon Tax policy scheme: A case study
International Journal of Production Economics, 2015Co-Authors: Behnam Fahimnia, Alok Choudhary, Joseph Sarkis, Ali EshraghAbstract:Greenhouse gas emissions are receiving greater scrutiny in many countries due to international forces to reduce anthropogenic global climate change. Industry and their supply chains represent a major source of these emissions. This paper presents a tactical supply chain planning model that integrates economic and Carbon emission objectives under a Carbon Tax policy scheme. A modified Cross-Entropy solution method is adopted to solve the proposed nonlinear supply chain planning model. Numerical experiments are completed utilizing data from an actual organization in Australia where a Carbon Tax is in operation. The analyses of the numerical results provide important organizational and policy insights on (1) the financial and emissions reduction impacts of a Carbon Tax at the tactical planning level, (2) the use of cost/emission tradeoff analysis for making informed decisions on investments, (3) the way to price Carbon for maximum environmental returns per dollar increase in supply chain cost.
