چکیده مقاله :
زمینه و هدف: انتشار گازهای گلخانه ای و آلودگی محیط زیست یکی از مهم ترین مشکلات کشورهاست که هم زمان با رشد جمعیت و برنامه رشد و توسعه اقتصادی کشورها در حال افزایش است. آلودگی محیط زیست، سلامتی افراد را تهدید و هزینه هایی را بر مردم و دولت تحمیل می کند. یکی از ابزارهای کنترل آلودگی و حفاظت محیط زیست، مالیات است که می تواند انگیزه مردم در مصرف کالاهای آلوده کننده محیط زیست را تحت تأثیر قرار دهد و آلودگی را کنترل کند. روش بررسی: با تخمین سیستم مخارج خطی، اثر مالیات بر آلودگی ناشی از مصرف سه کالای آلوده کننده محیط زیست در سبد مصرفی خانوارهای شهری شامل سوخت وسایل نقلیه، برق و آب مورد مطالعه و تحلیل تجربی قرار می گیرد. در این راستا، ابتدا پارامترهای میل نهایی به مخارج فرامعیشتی و مقدار حداقل معاش خانوار و سپس سیستم مخارج خطی برآورد می شوند. یافته ها: نتایج حاصل از تخمین سیستم مخارج خطی نشان می دهد. اولاً: کنش مالیاتی تقاضا برای کالاهای آلوده کننده محیط زیست شامل سوخت وسایل نقلیه، برق و آب به ترتیب (364/0-)، (326/0-) و (233/0-) است که بر این اساس وضع مالیات، مصرف این کالاها را کاهش می دهد و از طریق آن انتشار آلودگی کاهش می یابد. ثانیاً: اثر مالیات بر سوخت وسایل نقلیه بر کاهش مصرف آن در مقایسه با اثر مالیات بر مصرف دیگر کالاها قوی تر است. نتیجه گیری: اثر معنی دار مالیات بر کاهش مصرف کالاهای آلوده کننده محیط زیست، استفاده از ابزارهای مالیاتی را به عنوان یک راه حل مؤثر در کاهش آلودگی دارای اهمیت می کند که این یافته می تواند توسط نظام سیاست گذاری در برنامه ریزی های آتی کشور مورد توجه قرار گیرد.
Background and Objective: One of the most important problems of human societies is greenhouse gas emissions which are increasing along with population and economic growths and development of countries. Environmental pollution damages people’s health and imposes costs on societies. Taxes are considered as pollution control and environmental protection tools which can influence people's incentives for the consumption of environment polluting goods and can control the pollution. Method: The effect of tax pollution on households' demand for three environment polluting goods, including vehicles fuel, electricity and water commodity, was studied by estimating the Linear Expenditure System (LES). For this purpose, first the parameters of marginal propensity of expenses and households’ minimum income for living were obtained. Then, the linear expenditure system was estimated. Findings: The results from estimating the model show that i) the tax elasticity of demand for vehicles fuel, electricity and water are -0.364, -0.326 and -0.233, respectively, and pollution tax on fuel, electricity and water reduces the demand for these commodities and thereby reduces the environmental pollution; and ii) the effect of tax pollution on reducing vehicles fuel consumption is stronger than that of tax on reducing consumption of other goods. Discussion and Conclusion: The significant effect of tax on reducing pollution highlights the importance of using tax instruments for reducing pollution. This finding can be considered in the policy making system for future planning in the country.
