Taxation and Sustainability

Mick S. Common

Review of Marketing and Agricultural Economics, 1992, vol. 60, issue 02, 13

Abstract: Clearly, the question which is the workshop title permits of no single simple answer. This paper addresses it in the particular context of taxation. The argument is that in this context the sustainability debate seems to have had rather little effect on economists' thinking and policy advice. While it is true that taxation is looked upon more favourably than some alternative instruments for environmental policy implementation, there does not appear to have been much in the way of thinking about. or policy advice on, taxation per se in the context of concern for sustainability promotion.
