This study examines the effect of a revenue neutral tax on Carbon Emissions, using the Energy 2020 and REMI models. The revenue raised by the carbontax is off-set by corresponding reductions in other taxes (property and payroll taxes). The results indicate that the carbon emissions tax may or may not be as negative to economic growth as the taxes that they replace were. Therefore, it is possible to tax pollution, and only minorly slow or even stimulate the economy. - Reproduced Taxation - Minnessota Taxation Backus, George International Journal of Public Administration 41163 41163 41163 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 22, Issue no: 6 AR41539 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
