Abstract
Çevre vergileri ve gelir dağılımı ilişkisi son yıllarda önemli bir tartışma konusu haline gelmiştir. Bu tartışmalar, 1990'lı yıllarda birçok ülkede hem çevre kirliliğinin azaltılması hem de istihdamın arttırılabilmesi adına bir dizi vergi reformunun gerçekleştirilmesiyle başlamıştır. Bu vergi reformlarıyla birlikte emek ve sermaye üzerindeki vergi yükü çevre kirliliğine sebep olan ürünler üzerine kaydırılmıştır. Ülkelerin vergi sisteminde yaşanan bu radikal değişiklikler birçok ürünün fiyatında artış yaşanmasına sebep olmuştur. Fiyatlarda yaşanan artıştan toplumun her kesiminin eşit derecede etkilendiğini söylemek oldukça güçtür. Bu doğrultuda makalenin amacı, 25 OECD üyesi ülkede uygulanan enerji, ulaşım ve diğer çevre vergilerinin gelir dağılımı üzerine etkilerini ampirik olarak tespit etmek ve negatif etkilerin azaltılabilmesi için öneriler ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada Gini katsayısı ve yüzde yirmilik gelir dilimleri bağımlı değişkenler, enerji, ulaşım ve diğer çevre vergileri ise bağımsız değişkenler olarak ele alınmış ve bu değişkenler arasındaki kısa ve uzun dönem ilişki "Panel Veri Analizi" yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen analiz neticesinde enerji ve diğer çevre vergilerin gelir dağılımını bozduğu ve ulaşım vergilerinin ise gelir dağılımını iyileştirdiği tespit edilmiştir.
