| Summary: | This article analyses the effects of a carbon emissions tax on consumers and firms and its impact on the effectiveness of a Keynesian stimulus plan. Previous research and empirical data have suggested that such a tax would have a depressive effect. Moreover, these studies argue that the effectiveness of a reflation policy would hampered by a climate policy or environmental constraints. In contrast, the present study demonstrates that an emissions tax can, in certain conditions, have a favorable impact on economic activity. Furthermore, stimulus policy is found to be even more effective when combined with an emissions tax. |
