ECONOMICAL AND FISCAL INSTRUMENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY: A THEORIC EXAMINATION ON ENVRINMENTAL TAXES
Abstract
From the second half of the twentieth century, the states seem to have created environmental
policies in order to cope with the environmental issues that are affecting them. Environmental policy
can be defined briefly as a policy set that includes the environmental principles and objectives of
states. The ability to achieve the objectives set out in environmental policy in an intangible way
depends on the development of policy instruments that are in terms of these objectives. Environmental
policy instruments can be divided into two main groups; administrative instruments based on the
state's command authority and economic and financial instruments. Economical and fiscal instruments
providing economic incentives on economic units that aim to change the behavior of both producers
and consumers. It can be said that the most favored application instrument among the economic and
fiscal instruments are the environmental taxes. The aim of this study is to examine theoretically the
environmental taxes which find wide application in environmental policies. The characteristics, types,
sources, advantages and disadvantages of environmental taxes and their application problems are
studied from a theoretical point of view.
