摘要

本文建立了一个具有褐色和绿色产业的小型开放经济模型。棕色企业产生的环境外部性降低了国内家庭的效用。这两个行业的企业都依靠国内外资本为其生产提供资金。外汇市场被假定为浅层市场,相对于外生外国利率,企业借入资本需要支付更高的回报。这种低效率会导致福利进一步下降。在这一框架下,通过对污染部门的产出征税并结合有区别的资本管制,对棕色部门的外资流入征收较高的税率,对绿色企业的外资流入征收较低的税率,从而实现最优分配。从单一的政策工具来看,在环境外部性值适中的情况下,这种有区别的资本管制优于对棕色生产征税。

Optimal policies in a small open economy with an environmental externality and shallow foreign exchange markets

Optimal policies in a small open economy with an environmental externality and shallow foreign exchange markets

This paper develops a small open economy model with a brown and green industry. Brown firms generate an environmental externality that reduces the utility of domestic households. Firms in both sectors rely on domestic and foreign capital to finance their production. Foreign exchange markets are assumed to be shallow and firms pay a higher return to borrow capital with respect to the exogenous foreign interest rate. This inefficiency contributes to a further decline in welfare. In this framework, the first-best allocation is attained through a tax on the output produced by the polluting sector combined with differentiated capital controls, with a higher tax rate applied to foreign capital inflows in the brown sector and a lower tax rate applied to foreign inflows in green firms. Looking at single policy tools, such differentiated capital controls are preferable to a tax on brown production for moderate values of the environmental externality.
