Calculation of optimal tax rate of water resources and analysis of social welfare based on CGE model: a case study in Hebei Province, China

The determination of the optimal tax rate of water resources is one of the core as well as the key economic and technological issue in the ‘fee to tax’ work of water resources in China. Therefore, based on the introduction of the computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of water resources tax, usi...
