A General Equilibrium Analysis of the Impacts of Carbon Tax on Korean Agriculture

The purpose of this study is analyzing the general equilibrium impacts of imposing carbon tax on the Korean economy. A CGE model that emphasizes agricultural sector has been constructed. The production and welfare effects of imposing carbon tax are derived. The effects of imposing three different tax rates, 20,000 won, 50,000 won and 100,000 won per ton of carbon have been analyzed. The model shows that outputs of vegetables, fruits, processed foods, and agricultural chemicals will decrease substantially while those of rice and animal products will increase responding to the tax. Even though the tax revenue is refunded to consumers, 3,896~14,983 billion won of welfare loss arises due to the tax.
