Environmental taxes have proven effective in deterring activities and products harmful to the environment. But they also typically have been limited in some countries because policymakers
believed they could negatively affect income distribution or international competitiveness. Also, environmental taxes are rarely used alone but in conjunction with other regulatory measures,
and there is little known about how the numerous combinations of integrated policies function together. The contributors address these issues as well as the economic and environmental impacts
of environmental taxes. General topics include case studies in policy integration, the challenges of subsidies, competitiveness considerations, and strategic considerations. Annotation ©2016
