Abstract

Abstract This research aims to find the best carbon tax regime for the achievement of net-zero carbon emissions and promotion of social welfare level. We discuss two regimes in this study, including carbon tax on total social welfare level (CTTW) and carbon tax on single social welfare level (CTSW). Findings show that the best regime depends on product substitution and product price elasticity of demand. Industrial transformation not only causes changes in product substitution and product price elasticity of demand, but also makes these two regimes have different effects on the achievement of net-zero carbon emissions and promotion of social welfare level.

碳税对净零碳排放目标和社会福利水平提升的影响差异

本研究旨在寻找实现净零碳排放和提高社会福利水平的最佳碳税制度。在本研究中，我们讨论了两种制度，包括总社会福利水平碳税(CTTW)和单一社会福利水平碳税(CTSW)。研究结果表明，最佳制度取决于产品替代和产品需求的价格弹性。产业转型不仅引起需求的产品替代和产品价格弹性的变化，而且使这两种制度对实现净零碳排放和提升社会福利水平有不同的影响。

期刊介绍： Carbon Management is a scholarly peer-reviewed forum for insights from the diverse array of disciplines that enhance our understanding of carbon dioxide and other GHG interactions – from biology, ecology, chemistry and engineering to law, policy, economics and sociology. The core aim of Carbon Management is it to examine the options and mechanisms for mitigating the causes and impacts of climate change, which includes mechanisms for reducing emissions and enhancing the removal of GHGs from the atmosphere, as well as metrics used to measure performance of options and mechanisms resulting from international treaties, domestic policies, local regulations, environmental markets, technologies, industrial efforts and consumer choices. One key aim of the journal is to catalyse intellectual debate in an inclusive and scientific manner on the practical work of policy implementation related to the long-term effort of managing our global GHG emissions and impacts. Decisions made in the near future will have profound impacts on the global climate and biosphere. Carbon Management delivers research findings in an accessible format to inform decisions in the fields of research, education, management and environmental policy.
