本文延伸龐雅文、蕭代基(2007)的模型,修正原有健康生產函數的設定,將「預防治療活動」進一步區分為治療支出與預防支出,以區別二者對家計單位在健康效果的異質性、及其於個人所得稅之可扣除性的差別待遇,同時考慮不同性質時間(包括勞動、休閒與生病)的價值差異,以及政府多元化處置稅收的方式(包括基礎建設、環境保護和移轉支付),分別建立家計單位的私人最適決策與政府單位的社會最適決策模型,除導出家計單位在政府開徵環境稅的Slutsky equation,藉以證明環境稅對財貨消費與休閒時間的效果並不確定之外,也比較兩種均衡的差異。另一方面,藉由檢討歷有文獻對邊際社會損害(MSD)的衡量缺失,提出正確的衡量方式,結果發現,除了過去文獻所提出的皮古效果、收入循環效果、租稅交互效果、效益面租稅交互效果、以及醫療的效益面租稅交互效果外,尚可衍生「預防支出的效益面租稅交互效果」,理論上該效果不確定,使得第二重紅利的存在性更增添不確定性因素。
其次,利用數值模擬分析,評估開徵環境稅與不同稅收處置方式對家計部門消費決策的影響,以及探討不同參數改變對財貨消費、時間配置、環境品質、與社會福利等影響。模擬結果發現:沿用歷有文獻所設定之logistic形態健康生產函數,會出現角解之不合理現象,故修正健康生產函數形態,重新進行模擬分析,結果發現醫療支出不再為零,矯正原有函數形態之缺失,而且在多數情境下,醫療支出消費均呈現成長態勢,主要歸因於政策上提供租稅優惠,預防支出則不明確,唯有在調整生病的邊際負效用時,二者有可能同時提高;此外,大部分情境的福利變化不明確,此與財貨的消費減少有關。
最後,根據模擬結果得出以下幾點結論:1.推動綠色租稅改革不一定保證第一重紅利存在。2.就業紅利在多數情況下不存在。3.第一重紅利與福利紅利目標難以並存。4.政府稅收多元用途優於單一用途。5.福利紅利的大小會受到政府稅收的處置方式、稅率水準、生病函數設定方式、參數值大小以及租稅中立原則等因素的影響而改變。6.在多數情況下,預防勝於治療假說難以成立。
This thesis extends Pang and Shaw’s (2007) model by dividing the medical expenditure into medical treatment expenditure and illness prevention expenditure to capture their difference in health effects and income tax deductibility. Differentiating the value of time of properties include labor employment, leisure and sick-time. In addition, we consider the government’s disposal of tax revenues on public goods, environmental protection and direct transfer payment to households, and set up an individual optimization model and social optimal decision respectively, which is compared with the difference of solutions from both optimal problems. Moreover, we obtain the Slutsky equation of environmental tax on dirty goods from households, it causes the impact of goods and leisure from environmental tax is indeterminate in sign. Besides, this paper also examines the marginal social damage (MSD) of dirty goods consumption defined improperly in some literature, and offers the proper measurement. The result shows that the prevention-based benefit-side tax- interaction effect emerges besides the Pigouvian effect, the revenue-recycling effect, the tax-interaction effect, the benefit-side tax-interaction effect and mitigation-based benefit-side tax-interaction effect in the previous literature. This new effect is ambiguous theoretically. It implies that the second dividend will enhance the uncertainly.
Secondly, we use simulation approach to estimate the effect of environmental tax and the government’s disposal of tax revenues on household’s decision, and the impacts of different parameters on varying goods, time allocation, environmental quality and welfare. Simulation results indicate that logistic function is typically used to model the health production function will cause corner solution inevitably. Therefore, we consider alternative functional form to perform a numerical simulation, the results show that medical expenditure isn’t be zero, it correct defections of logistic functions. In many cases, medical expenditure increases with environmental tax mainly due to tax deductibility in policy, as to illness prevention expenditure is indeterminate. Both expenditures maybe increase at the same time after taking the marginal disutility of illness into consideration. Moreover, the changes of welfare are ambiguous in most scenarios, mainly due to goods consumption decreases in the market.
Finally, simulation results are summarized as follows: 1.The first dividend may not exist with the green tax reform, 2.Employment dividend doesn’t exist in most situation, 3.The first dividend and welfare dividend fail to coexist certainly, 4.Tax revenues with various disposal are better than single use, 5.The level of welfare are affected by disposal of tax revenues, tax rate, illness function’s specification, parameters and the revenue neutral condition, 6.In most situation, prevention is better than cure hypothesis holds difficultly certainly.
