Abstract：In the face of the conflict between climate change,energy consumption,carbon emission and economic development,it is necessary to study the comprehensive impact of carbon tax policy on China's dual carbon target policy with the development and balance of Chinese regions and energy consumption.The study is based on the carbon tax model of multiregional input-output model,and simulates and analyzes the carbon tax policy from the perspectives of carbon tax rate,industry-region taxing difference,and industry-region carbon tax subsidy difference,and evaluates the simulation results by using the data envelopment model(DEA)to evaluate the comprehensive benefits,aiming to explore the inter-regional impacts of the carbon tax policy through the adjustments of the carbon tax policy.The purpose of the simulation is to explore the interdependence between regions through the adjustment of carbon tax policies,quantify the interaction between climate,energy,economic and regional balanced development and carbon tax,and propose the carbon tax policy that is suitable for the development of the region with the best comprehensive benefits.The study shows that at a lower carbon tax level(20 yuan/ton),carbon tax subsidies for business,agriculture,forestry,animal husbandry and fishery products and service industries in backward regions such as Shanxi Province and Guizhou Province have a good comprehensive benefit and a triple dividend in carbon emission reduction,economic and regional balanced development.
