GREEN TAXATION IN EAST ASIA CULLEN R. VANDERWOLK J. Y.XU Księgarnia

‘The broad sweep of “green taxation” – pollution, carbon, resource and land taxes, and tax incentives for environmental goals – makes it complex to analyse. Green Taxation in East Asia is a timely and valuable comparative contribution to an expanding literature. Its scholarly country studies show how green taxes aim to modify behaviour, correct externalities, regulate, or raise revenue. As environmental policy and tax policy move closer together, green taxes become feasible, but are always, as the editors say, “shaped by local political, economic and social circumstances”.’

– Miranda Stewart, University of Melbourne, Australia
