| Title: | | Green tax reform and employment: the interaction of profit and factor taxes  |
| Authors: | | Boeters, Stefan |
| Issue Date: | | 2001 |
| Series/Report no.: | | ZEW Discussion Papers 01-45 |
| Abstract: | | The employment effects of an ecological tax reform depend decisively on the presence of a profit tax and on the extent to which profits are taxed. This is shown in a model where firms have monopoly power on product markets and bargain over wages with unions on the labour market. In the setting, the value of the employment-maximising energy tax rate depends on the level of the profit tax. The question of wheather there is unemployment or not turns out to be less important. |
