报告摘要：

To mitigate climate change, China has launched trading in the national carbon emissions trading market, but its coverage and implementation effectiveness are limited. Since the regulation scope of a carbon tax could be larger and a carbon tax is more transparent and simpler to use, it needs to be implemented in the next step. However, previous studies analyzing the impact of carbon taxes rarely examine its transmission mechanism considering input-output linkages, leading to the insufficient theoretical basis of these researches. To address this need, this study considers a carbon tax in a production network model with sectors employing constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production technologies. Then we provide closed-form expressions for the effects of the carbon tax to analyze the influence mechanism of it on sectoral production and carbon emissions with the existence of intersectoral correlations. This study uncovers a new effect called redistribution effect in the transmission mechanism. Theoretically, we further clarify the transmission mechanism of carbon tax policy through intersectoral connections in the production network. After calibration and simulation, we discover some sectors with little contribution to carbon emissions reduction and seriously negatively affected output if a carbon tax is implemented in China, such as the construction sector. Based on simulation results above, we suggest that all the effects in the impact mechanism of carbon tax policy should be considered comprehensively. Sectors such as construction sector in China should be given enough attention during carbon tax implementation, offered with subsidies or guided to applying a cleaner input structure.
