Tax and environment

The Tax and Environment program investigates the role of taxation in addressing climate change and the erosion of biodiversity, exploring how tax instruments can effectively price environmental externalities and incentivize green transitions. Our research focuses on international environmental tax policies such as border adjustment mechanisms addressing pollution leakage.

We also investigate firm responses in terms of compliance and optimization strategies in response to these new forms of taxation. A key component of our work is the construction of new methodologies and datasets for tracking firm-level environmental footprint, for both carbon and non-carbon environmental externalities.
