Abstract

Cet article analyse les effets redistributifs intergénérationnels du recyclage d'une taxe carbone et leur influence sur le choix public quant aux modalités de recyclage de cette taxe. Nous utilisons un modèle à générations imbriquées paramétré sur données réelles. Nous considérons deux scénarios de réforme, selon que la taxe carbone est recyclée par des dépenses publiques plus élevées ou des impôts directs moins élevés – impliquant alors un « deuxième dividende » pour la croissance. Une taxe carbone recyclée par des impôts plus faibles pèse sur le bien-être intertemporel des baby-boomers mais est plus favorable aux jeunes et aux cohortes futures. Surtout, un planificateur social peut recycler une taxe sur le carbone en augmentant les dépenses plutôt qu'en réduisant les impôts si son aversion pour l'inégalité intergénérationnelle est suffisamment élevée.
