Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the environmental externality into the Diamond (1965) model. The environmental externality affects on the production negatively. We define a socially optimal allocation and a competitive equilibrium, and obtain the first-order necessary conditions. In competitive equilibrium, both consumers and firms have no incentives to maintain the environment, hence competitive equilibrium allocation can not be socially optimal. Therefore we propose a tax scheme. Our model requires two types of taxes in order to achieve a social optimum.
