With the increasing environmental degradation caused by the greenhouse effect,China,as the world's largest carbon dioxide emitter,has no mandatory energy conservation and emission reduction obligations,but with the responsibility of major powers,it will work with other countries to solve this cosmopolitan The problem is not to be delayed.How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and coordinate economic growth,energy conservation and emission reduction and pollution prevention are the focus of each country.Tax collection of carbon emissions from greenhouse gases emitted is the most direct and effective method.Therefore,the government can implement the “visible hand” of energy taxation policies,and appropriately intervene in the macroeconomic field to play a role in tax regulation.Further improve China's taxation system and promote the sustainable development of energy.Based on the theory of carbon tax policy and summarizing the research status of carbon tax policy at home and abroad,this paper studies the carbon tax on the emissions of fossil energy after use,and subsidizes the tax to clean energy,family welfare and education industries.What are the economic and environmental impacts of China,which is facing industrial transformation and upgrading? Based on the social accounting matrix of 2015,the article builds a dynamic generality of six departments including production module,consumption module,international trade module,economic closure module,energy environment module and dynamic method module based on the development characteristics of China.The equilibrium model compares the baseline situation and simulates the effects of economic and environmental impacts over the next 25 years in three different carbon tax shift scenarios.The simulation results show that compared with the baseline situation,the three cases of carbon tax transfer have an important impact on the economy and the environment:(1)the carbon tax is transferred and transferred,which has a greater negative impact on the macro economy in the short term,and The energy-intensive sector has a greater impact and will be mitigated in the long run;(2)the three scenarios have a positive effect on reducing greenhouse gas emissions,with the most significant environmental effects arising from the shift to the clean energy sector;Because of the obvious environmental effects in all three cases,and no obvious economic effects,the effect of “environment-economic double dividend” cannot be achieved in the short term.Finally,based on the above conclusions and the status quoof China,some policy recommendations are proposed for the implementation of the future carbon tax policy.
