Abstract
In a very stylized endogenous growth economy with pollution and private abatement activities and without any production externality, we show that the government may exploit dynamic Laffer effects to achieve a double dividend through an environmental tax reform, while fulfilling its commitment to provide an exogenously specified sequence of expenditures in the form of lump-sum transfers to consumers.
En un modelo muy estilizado de crecimiento endógeno -con contaminación y actividades privadas de reducción de contaminación (abatement) y sin externalidades en producción-, mostramos que el gobierno tiene la posibilidad de explotar la existencia de Efectos Laffer Dinámicos para obtener un Doble Dividendo como resultado de una reforma impositiva medioambiental. Dicha reforma garantiza, además, el cumplimiento de un compromiso previo del gobierno consistente en proporcionar una senda predeterminada de transferencias de suma fija a los consumidores.r un dividendo doble si la reforma sustituye impuestos sobre la renta por impuestos medioambientales, de forma tal que la restricción presupuestaria del gobierno se mantenga en valor presente.
