Abstract

AbstractThis paper investigates the impact of a stricter tax compliance policy on firms’ pollution emissions in the presence of labor market frictions. In contrast to a situation with perfect labor markets, we find that under the right‐to‐manage wage formation, a stricter compliance policy increases emissions when the shadow cost of the emission limit is excluded, whereas it has no impact when the shadow cost is included. With efficient bargaining, a stricter compliance policy decreases (or increases) pollution emissions under employment (wage) orientation but has no impact on pollution emissions under wage neutrality.
