Extended Data Table 2 Mean per household welfare impacts of policies in EUR

From: Environmental impacts from European food consumption can be reduced with carbon pricing or a value-added tax reform

  1. The table presents welfare effects resulting from the removal of value-added tax reductions for meat products (VAT reform) and the implementation of a GHG emission price of 51.63 EUR/tCO2eq on all food products. It compares the mean change in the absolute cost-of-living (Change in cost) with the mean change in tax income (Change in tax revenue, comprising the change in VAT income and the additional income from GHG emission pricing) by country. Net cost represents the difference between mean change in the absolute cost-of-living and the mean additional tax income. All values are rounded annual means per household in EUR, weighted using sampling weights to ensure representativeness.
