To this end, we augment the ECB’s New Area-Wide Model (NAWM) with a framework of disaggregated energy production and use, which distinguishes between “dirty” and “clean” energy. Our central transition policy is that of a permanent increase in carbon taxes, which are levied as a surcharge on the price of dirty energy, combined with a price-preserving fall in fossil resource supply. Our findings suggest that increasing carbon taxes to an interim target level consistent with the transition to a net-zero economy entails a transitory rise in inflation and a lasting, albeit moderate decline in GDP. We show that the short and medium-term effects depend on the monetary policy reaction, the path of the carbon tax increase and its credibility, while expanding clean energy supply is key for containing the decline in GDP. Undesirable distributional effects can be addressed by appropriately redistributing the fiscal revenues from the carbon tax increase across households.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48389,"journal":{"name":"European Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141592663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using firm-level data from Chinese manufacturing industries spanning from 1998 to 2007, we find that reducing fiscal policy volatility leads to a decrease in the dispersion of the marginal revenue product of capital, accounting for 8.3 percent of the observed improvement in capital allocation during the sample period.

We show that countries with higher sovereign risk have a more procyclical fiscal expenditure policy, which is driven mostly by transfers.

Without default risk transfers are countercyclical, inequality is procyclical, and external debt is used to smooth distortionary taxation. With default risk, transfers account for most of fiscal adjustment because taxation becomes costly for the government. Transfers become procyclical and inequality worsens during times when risk premia are high. We confirm the predictions of the model in the data: in recessions in economies with default risk, transfers take the bigger burden relative to government consumption, whereas the opposite is true in economies with low default risk.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48389,"journal":{"name":"European Economic Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014292124001156/pdfft?md5=f2012989ce2d56bd6103321a5d6b1bda&pid=1-s2.0-S0014292124001156-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141539900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model is quantified using the observed size and productivity distributions of both informal and formal firms. We use the model to assess the role of changes in labor market regulations, entry costs and enforcement in contributing to the rise in informality and decline in TFP in Mexico from 1998 to 2013. We find that the factors most important for the decline in aggregate productivity were not important drivers of the increase in informality, and conversely, the factors most important for the increase in informality had little impact on aggregate productivity. Regulatory changes during the 2000s contributed to over a third of the observed rise in the informal employment share, but with small aggregate productivity consequences.
