Abstract

This paper examines the effects on consumer prices arising from imposing a carbon tax in New Zealand, using information about inter-industry transactions and the use of fossil fuels by industries. The welfare effects of the carbon tax are examined for a range of different household types. Finally, overall measures of inequality are reported. Note: This paper has now been published in: Creedy, J. and Sleeman, C. (2006) Carbon Taxation, Prices and Welfare in New Zealand, Ecological Economics, 57, pp. 333-345.
