Resumo

El principal objetivo de este artículo es analizar el impacto distributivo de la fiscalidadsobre el carbono en los hogares mexicanos. En primer lugar, estimamos un sistema dedemanda de bienes no duraderos de los hogares, prestando una atención especial a losbienes relacionados con la energía. A continuación, utilizamos los resultados para simularla introducción de un impuesto al carbono, analizando su potencial para generar ingresoscon la finalidad de llevar a cabo distintas políticas redistributivas, con el objetivo final dereducir la desigualdad y la pobreza. Además, utilizamos los resultados para evaluar losefectos del impuesto sobre la demanda y la reducción de emisiones.
