These pundits and economists often advocate lowering other taxes to keep the total amount of taxes collected the same, though many have also proposed dedicating the revenue to other worthwhile projects. A Pigovian tax (also spelled Pigouvian tax, named after economist [[Arthur Cecil Pigou]]) is a [[tax]] levied to correct the [[negative externalities]] (negative side-effects) of a [[Market (economics)|market]] activity. These ideas are also known as an [[ecotax]]es or green [[tax shift]]s.

The Pigou Club is described by its creator, economist Gregory Mankiw, as a “group of economists and pundits with the good sense to have publicly advocated higher Pigouvian taxes, such as gasoline taxes or carbon taxes."[1] A Pigouvian tax is a tax levied to correct the negative externalities (negative side-effects) of a market activity. These ideas are also known as an ecotaxes or green tax shifts.[citation needed]
