Résumé

This paper deals with the so-called double dividend hypothesis of green tax reforms. First, it graphically illustrates the basic idea in a partial equilibrium context. It develops a simple environmental model for a full employment closed as well as a small open economy with taxes. Using a small scale numerical simulation model it examinesin detail a number of optimal green tax reforms and compute its first and second dividends. The final section offers some tentative policy conclusions
