Overview

Analysis reveals the influence of carbon taxation on pollution effects in asymmetrically sized countries, suggesting spatial non-neutrality.

Key Points

  • Carbon taxation reduces production and lowers emissions in the short run, aligning with established literature.
  • The mobility of firms causes shifts in market dynamics, encouraging relocations to minimize tax burdens.
  • High trade costs can eliminate environmentally favorable locations, impacting overall welfare and emissions.
  • Eco-conscious consumers can mitigate the tension between consumer surplus and emissions through supportive policies.
