Examination of the Mechanism of Environmental Tax Affecting the Public Green Consumption Levels
The environmental tax policy is an important means for China to achieve"double carbon"goals,and green consumption and green production are pathways toward those objectives.From the dual perspectives of supply and demand,this paper examines the impact of the environmental tax on the level of the public green consumption.The research comes to the results:the environmental tax significantly promotes the public green consumption,and therefore the public's willingness for green consumption and the level of green technological innovation play inter-mediary roles.The public environmental concern positively moderates the impact of the environmental tax on public willingness for green consumption.The results of heterogeneity analysis indicate that in regions with higher levels of economic development and education,the environmental tax has a more significant positive effect on the public green consumption levels.In light of these findings,the government should strengthen enforcement to ensure strict implementation of the environmental tax,increase investment in research and development of green technological innovation,and enhance promotion and education on green and low-carbon practices.These measures will help boost the public green consumption and facilitate transformation towards green lifestyle.
