녹색성장전략과 경제성장-탄소연료 사용제한 및 신재생에너지 개발 정책을 중심으로-

초록

We address the effects of the green growth strategy on the economic growth and the social welfare, using a general equilibrium model. We found that the environmental taxes and the subsidy to R&D for the fossil fuel efficiency improvement and the renewable energy development will contribute to the social welfare improvement, by improving the economic growth in the distant future and the welfare of the future generations. Even though the environmental taxes lower the economic growth rate of the near future, by reducing the fossil fuel usage, they will raise the economic growth rate of the distant future and improve the welfare of the future generations by more than the welfare cost of the current generations. We also found that the optimal environmental tax rate and the optimal R&D subsidy rate are 30～40% and 40～50% respectively.
