Abstract:

Research of the effects of carbon taxation  on regional energy consumption,economic growth and income distribution is still a blank.This article analyzed these effects by panel data model and quantile regression model.The study showed that quantile model was better in revealing the regional differences. Carbon taxation showed negative effects on the energy consumption and economic growth except in the Northwest Region,and the negative effects became strong gradually from west of east.Carbon taxation in each area increased the proportion of capital in the total income,decreased the proportion of the labor elements,but this effect was weak in the Great Northwest.Therefore,in the process of making carbon taxation,we should not only refer to “Europe Experiences”,but also consider the regional differences.Different carbon taxation in different region which tilts to Middle and West area can both control carbon emission and promot coordinated development of regional economy
