Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to consider the effects of Green Taxes on health costs in Iran. Accordingly, to achieve this goal, a Computable General Equilibrium Model was used taking into account the interactions between energy, economy, environment and health sectors simultaneously. The model was calibrated with data from the Social Accounting Matrix of 2011 and the endogenous variables of the model were calculated using the GAMS software using MCP technique. The results showed that by increasing the Green Tax rates, the health costs caused by the reduction of air pollution would be significantly reduced. Also, the financial impact on health indicators included mortality, morbidity and non-health effects of air pollution were estimated 62, 26. 4 and 11. 6 percent, respectively. Based on the results, implementation of Green Taxes can be reduced the health costs of air pollution.
