| ''Three tax reforms with and without public pollution abatement'' |
| ( 2023, Vol. 43 No.1 ) |

| |
| The literature has explored three strategies for reforming tariffs and consumption taxes: price-neutral tax reforms, revenue-neutral tax reforms, and consumption-neutral tax reforms. In the presence of private pollution abatement only, consumption-neutral tax reforms rank first in terms of welfare improvements. With the presence of both private and public pollution abatement, welfare-improving tariff protection reform packages occur. Unless income effects are zero, price-neutral tax reforms do not rank first regardless of the type of pollution abatement. |
