Global warming has become the major political and economic problems today, the continuous emission of greenhouse gases such as CO2is the main cause of global warming, so on the extensive discussion and cooperation, the international community to take a positive way and measures, to seek the optimal solution in order to control and reduce CO2emissions effectively. In a number of measures for energy conservation and emissions reduction and climate protection policy, tax policy is regarded as a rich policy of economic efficiency, which is attentioned by more and more countries. Under the environmental theme of the international community to address climate change, the Chinese government attaches great importance to the issue of climate change, and began to study the measures of energy saving and emission reduction in carbon tax policyAt present domestic about carbon tax policy research mostly focused on the national level, ignoring the provincial regional differences between natural endowments and industrial structure. To resource-based area as the research object, this paper in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, for example, on the basis of comprehensive accounting area of carbon emissions, and extending the standard CGE model to build the regional energy environment dynamic CGE model (3ED-CGE model), the model not only accommodate the fossil energy consumption carbon emissions, also covers the productive process of carbon emissions, and by setting the fixed rate and progressive tax rates, and independent carbon tax and balance carbon tax two forms to the comparative analysis of carbon tax policy impact on the quality of Inner Mongolia economy and the environment. Simulation results show that:(1) in terms of environmental quality, a carbon tax levy can have the effect of reducing CO2emissions intensity, the strongest balance the effects of carbon taxes;(2) in terms of macroeconomic, independent carbon tax will be a certain negative impact on the macroeconomic, but the balance carbon tax has brought positive effect for economic growth;(3) effects in the department, a carbon tax reduce output of energy-intensive heavy industry department, natural gas and electricity sector output increases, the adjustment of industrial structure to promote resource-based regional have positive role;(4) in the setting of tax rate, progressive tax rate can avoid excessive impact on regional economic short-term, long-term play a carbon tax policy and the effect of energy conservation and emissions reduction;(5) in the aspect of tax effect, although independent carbon tax can reduce CO2emissions, have the effect of reducing CO2emissions intensity, but can cause certain negative influence to the social economy, unable to achieve the "double dividend" carbon tax. If levy a tax on carbon balance, can reduce CO2emissions intensity at the same time improve the macro economy, improve the welfare of the residents income and employment, to achieve the "double dividend" of carbon tax.The main content of this thesis is chapter6:First chapter for the introduction, first put forward the research background of this paper, and expounded the research theory significance and practical significance, and then on this basis put forward the research ideas and research content of this paper, has been clear about the research method and technical route, and briefly summarizes the main innovation points; Chapter2reviews for a carbon tax system theory, firstly the paper describes the theoretical basis for a carbon tax, and then discusses domestic and foreign research status about carbon tax policy; The third chapter is the regional energy environment dynamic CGE (3ED-CGE) model of the building, and detailed introduces each module of the equations describing; The fourth chapter is the construction of social accounting matrix in Inner Mongolia with3ED-CGE model parameters calibration; The fifth chapter analysis the simulation results of carbon tax policy; The sixth chapter is conclusion and prospect.
