The Influence of Carbon Tax Policy on Enterprise Production Decision Based on the Research of Existing Emission Reduction Policy

Abstract:

From the emission reduction policy scheme released by Shenzhen which is one of china's first emission reduction pilot cities, enterprises are divided into two different groups according to the scale, at the same time, carbon intensity is regarded as emission reduction target. In order to explore the reason of grouping and setting the carbon intensity emission reduction target. We establish a competitive enterprise relational model - duopoly model, two companies can be seen as large enterprises and SMEs (small and medium-size enterprise) representatives. The process is a two-stage game between the government and enterprises under carbon tax policy, which come to the conclusion: implementation of carbon tax policies enlarge the competitive advantage of large enterprises in the industry and compress living space of SMEs. At the same time, compared to carbon emission amount target, carbon intensity target is more easy to implement.
