The analysis is based on the input-output model, which provides an appropriate and unique approach for measuring the total CO2 content of the various commodities taking the entire production chain into account. The calculation by products can be the basis for the estimation of product specific CO2 taxes. The model calculations based on the input-output table for the EU 27 for the year 2011 leads to the tax rate of 40.69 \u20ac per ton of CO2 emissions, which could have generated fiscal revenue in the amount of 1 percent of EU GDP. In line with the principle of fiscal neutrality, a reduction of the labour costs by 2.03 percent could compensate the introduction of a CO2 tax by the amount of 40.69 \u20ac per ton of CO2. The cost push effects lead to change of relative prices in favour of environmentally produced goods and services.","onlinedate":"2017-11-01 01:00:00","lang":"English","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20171101","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":false,"publication_num_pages":"","keywords":"[]","jelcodes":"[]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":null,"zip":null,"link":"http:\/\/www.springer.com\/10663","monthly_report":false,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"44","monthly_report_pages":"635-663","monthly_report_pages_sort":"635","issue":"4","journal":"Empirica","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":true,"embargo_date":null,"types":[83083],"research_groups":[3500],"collaboration":"","persons":[14965,12701],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":14965,\"personName\":\"Mikul\u00e1\u0161 Lupt\u00e1\u010dik\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":12701,\"personName\":\"Peter Lupt\u00e1\u010dik\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","scientific_assistance":"[]","scientific_review":"[]","version":"","release_date":null,"expiration_date":null,"surveyor":"","research_assistance":"","edv":"","additional_info_de":"","additional_info_en":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
