No 582, Working Papers from Economic Research Forum

Abstract: Although the existence of an environmental dividend to green taxes is beyond dispute, the same is not true for the efficiency or double dividend. Given the wide spread excess fertilizer use by farmers in Egypt with serious repercussions for water pollution and contamination of agriculture goods, using a static CGE model, this research attempts at assessing the magnitude of the double dividend from the imposition of a tax on fertilizer use. The paper further assesses whether there is a triple dividend affect from improved market access to agricultural goods following the reduction in fertilizer use.
