Poor environment harms economic growth and well-being by reducing available resources and compromising health. Thus, countries introduce environmental taxes to mitigate environmental degradation caused by economic progress. This study examines the impact of environmental tax, governance, and energy prices on environmental quality in OECD countries from 1996 to 2019, using second-generation econometric methods. The findings demonstrate that environmental tax and governance positively influence environmental quality, while considering the potential income and energy prices effect to prevent omitted variable bias.
A poor environment, in turn, hurts the growth and well-being of the economy. This is because it reduces the quantity and quality of available resources or compromises health. Undoubtedly, economic growth and environmental degradation are closely linked. Hence, environmental taxes are introduced by countries to decrease environmental degradation caused by economic progress. This study checks the impact of environmental tax, governance, and energy prices on environmental quality in the context of organization for economic co-operation and development countries using data from 1996 to 2019. By utilizing a host of second-generation econometric methods, the study has empirically analyzed the impact of environmental tax and governance on environmental quality while considering the possible income and energy prices effect to avoid omitted variable bias. The long-run results indicate that environmental tax and governance increase environmental quality. The empirical results of this study are also used to suggest policy implications for these countries.
