Abstract

attempts to test whether governments use environmental taxes in a Pigouvian or Leviathan way, i.e., whether they use environmental taxes to correct negative environmental externalities or whether they simply exploit them to maximize revenues. The authors adopt a dynamic panel model, estimated via the Arellano-Bond GMM estimator, and a sample of 26 EU countries observed over the period 2002-2016. The results obtained show evidence in favour of the Pigouvian hypothesis.
