Abstract

Carbon tax is an important economic means to reduce carbon emission. This paper establishes a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model to reflect China’s resource environment where economic growth and employment play a role by analyzing impacts of carbon tax on employment. The CGE model measures short and long-term impacts of carbon tax on employment, and examines whether the employment “double dividend†would be possible. The analysis shows that the demand for employment tends to decrease as a whole, but different groups of employees would be affected in various ways. “Double dividend†will be possible if appropriate carbon tax cycle is in place.
