Combining CGE and microsimulation models: Effects on equality of VAT reforms
(Discussion Papers;No. 392, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: The effects on the degree of equality of reforms in indirect taxation are analysed by using a microsimulation model of the Norwegian economy subsequent to a CGE model. The two main reforms studied are substitution ... -
Designing an electricity tax system in presence of international regulations and multiple public goals : an empirical assessment
(Discussion Papers;No. 555, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: The European competition rules restrict governments’ opportunity to differentiate terms of energy accessibility among firms and industries. This easily runs counter with regional and industrial goals of national ... -
Environmental tax reform and producer foresight : an intertemporal computable general equilibrium analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 185, Working paper, 1996)This paper analyses the non-environmental welfare costs of an environmental tax reform using a numerical intertemporal general equilibrium model for the Norwegian economy. The tax reform is revenue neutral such that an ... -
How well do tree plantations comply with the twin targets of the clean development mechanism? : the case of tree plantations in Tanzania
(Discussion Papers;No. 534, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: This paper studies the effect of a CDM tree-planting project on carbon sequestration and urban and rural income distribution, taking economy-wide impacts into account. Carbon sequestration in agricultural soil ... -
Labour market rigidities and environmental tax reforms : welfare effects of different regimes
(Discussion Papers;No. 242, Working paper, 1998)The working of the labour market is important for the total welfare effects of tax reforms. This paper analyses, by using a computable general equilibrium model for the Norwegian economy, how different assumptions about ... -
Population ageing and fiscal sustainability : an integrated micro-macro analysis of required tax changes
(Discussion Papers;No. 367, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: Most studies on the economic consequences of ageing rely on Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models that account for feedback mechanisms through changes in relative prices, tax bases etc. However, since ... -
Quantifying central hypotheses on Environmental Kuznets Curves for a rich economy : a computable general equilibrium study
(Discussion Papers;No. 341, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: We investigate whether the future relationships between several pollutants and per capita income in rich countries may assume the inverted U-forms of Environmental Kuznets Curves (EKC). The emission-augmenting ... -
Real appreciation as an automatic channel for redistribution of increased government non-tax revenue
(Discussion Papers;No. 471, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: The paper analyses how equilibrium adjustments of the wage rate affect the scope for tax rate reductions when the government experiences an exogenous increase in non-tax revenues. It shows within a stylized ... -
Richer and cleaner - at others' expense?
(Discussion Papers;No. 477, Working paper, 2006)Abstract: Pollution intensive production can be avoided domestically by increased imports and less exports of dirty products. Such trade effects may imply more emissions abroad, or pollution leakages. We study whether ... -
The Future European natural gas market - are lower gas prices attainable?
(Discussion Papers;No. 379, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: The present paper investigates effects of regulatory inspections on compliance and emissions of energy intensive manufacturing plants in Norway. The regression analysis shows that increased probability of ... -
The welfare effects of carbon policies: grandfathered quotas versus differentiated taxes
(Discussion Papers;No. 261, Working paper, 1999)Recently, it has been demonstrated that pre-existing distortionary taxes can substantially increase the costs of market-based instruments which do not raise revenue, such as non-auctioned emissions quotas. Revenue-raising ... -
The welfare effects of housing taxation in a distorted economy: A general equilibrium analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 306, Working paper, 2001)Abstract: Efficient capital taxation has been one of the most important objectives for large tax reforms implemented in several countries during the last decades. The Norwegian Tax reform of 1992 took a large step towards ... -
Transboundary environmental policy effects: Markets and emission leakages
(Discussion Papers;No. 384, Working paper, 2004)Abstract: According to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) literature, several mechanisms within rich economies, including increased willingness to conduct abatement policies, contribute to reduce environmental problems. ... -
Welfare effects of trade liberalisation in distorted economies : a dynamic general equilibrium assessment for Norway
(Discussion Papers;No. 251, Working paper, 1999)A disaggregated intertemporal CGE model is used to simulate the welfare effects in Norway of the recently implemented trade reforms including the WTO agreement, the EEA treaty, the EFTA fishery agreement and an anticipated ... -
Welfare effects of VAT reforms: A general equilibrium analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 343, Working paper, 2003)Abstract: Indirect taxes such as value added taxes (VAT) generate a substantial part of tax revenue in many countries. This paper analyses welfare effects of different reforms in the Norwegian system of indirect taxation. ...
