We study the incidence of pollution taxes and their impact on unemployment in an analytical general equilibrium efficiency wage model. We find closed-form solutions for the effect of a pollution tax on unemployment, factor prices, and output prices, and we identify and isolate different channels through which these general equilibrium effects arise. An effect arising from the efficiency wage specification depends on the form of the workers' effort function. Numerical simulations further illustrate our results and show that this efficiency wage effect can fully offset the sources-side incidence results found in models that omit it.

效率工资、失业和环境政策

我们在分析一般均衡效率工资模型中研究污染税的发生率及其对失业的影响。我们为污染税对失业、要素价格和产出价格的影响找到了封闭形式的解决方案，我们确定并隔离了这些一般均衡效应产生的不同渠道。效率工资规范所产生的影响取决于工人努力函数的形式。数值模拟进一步说明了我们的结果，并表明这种效率工资效应可以完全抵消在忽略它的模型中发现的源端发生率结果。
