Framing and Recycling for the Acceptability of Carbon Taxes: Evidence from Meat Consumption in Japan 1: Kyoto University, Japan; 2: Kwansei Gakuin University, Japan This paper investigates how tax designs can influence consumer preferences toward taxation by examining the case of minced meat consumption in Japan. We compare value-added taxes and carbon taxes, varying the accompanying compensatory measures to explore the factors that enhance public acceptance of taxation while maintaining policy effectiveness. We find that public preferences for VAT and carbon taxes are generally similar, although carbon taxes are more sensitive to revenue allocation, particularly favoring green spending. Furthermore, we find that support for different revenue recycling options is shaped by whether benefits are private or social, and considerable variation exists across socio-demographic and attitudinal groups. These findings underscore the importance of considering, within the design of taxation, both framing and revenue recycling to ensure its social and political feasibility. | |
