Abstract:
This paper examines the economic implications of sectoral exemptions from energy taxation in Greece. This issue is being analysed in the context of an input-output model of the Greek economy calibrated to 1994 data. The insights that emerge from this study suggest that the level of prices and other macroeconomic variables rises, while competitiveness seems to improve. Furthermore, the exemption of high energy intensive industries from energy taxation causes a smaller shock in the Greek economy, relatively to the case of the low energy intensive branches exemption.
