Abstract
Air pollution has increased significantly in urban and industrial areas throughout Mexico. In this proposal, a change in the relative prices of energy is suggested as a means to modify the behavior of consumers. The welfare effects of three tax policy return system are analyzed. First, the government keeps the revenues; second, lumps sum return of taxes; and third, a revenue-neutral tax return. In the last case other taxes may be reduced, such as those on capital and labor. A computable general equilibrium model is used to simulate the effect of these different tax reforms on the Mexican economy. (orig.)
