Abstract
One of the most essential environment problem human beings need to face is the global temperature rise caused by the emissions of greenhouse gases including CO2, CH4 and N2O from human activities, among which CO2 is the major one (IPCC 2007). Carbon tax policy has been generally considered as one of the most market effective measures for carbon emission abatement (Baranzini et al. 2000). Compared with other reduction measures, carbon tax brings the double welfares of both government revenue and environment.
