Abstract
As carbon dioxide emissions continue to grow in recent years, carbon taxes have been widely levied by countries all over the world. And considering the particularity of the Internet industry, we have constructed a theoretical model of the impact of carbon tax levied on two enterprises on social welfare. It divides the impact of carbon tax on social welfare into three parts: consumer surplus, producer surplus and external impact, and solves each part in turn to draw a conclusion. Compared with previous studies, this study makes a more general discussion on the impact of carbon tax on social welfare based on the relatively emerging Internet industry. However, due to a certain gap between some assumptions of the model and the real market situation, as well as the lack of data, the model still has some limitations, which need to be further improved.
