Fuel prices vs. automobile fuel economy standards in a CO2-constrained transport sector
(2006)
One way to raise the fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions of new cars is through fuel economy (FE) standards
An empirical evaluation of the effectiveness of CO2-related vehicle taxation in Europe
(2010)
Vehicle taxation based on a car's CO2 emission levels is increasingly adopted in European countries. This paper describes a model of oligopolistic competition in markets with differentiated products, simulating demand and ...
Welfare implications of car feebates: A simulation analysis
(2014)
Vehicle taxation based on CO2 emissions is increasingly being adopted worldwide to shift consumer purchases to low-carbon cars, yet evidence on its effectiveness and economic impact is limited. We focus on feebate schemes, ...
Trade-offs in CO2-oriented vehicle tax reforms: A case study of Greece
(2012)
We estimate demand for automobiles in Greece using a model of product differentiation and use the model to evaluate carbon-based tax schemes that could shift consumer purchases towards low CO2 emission cars. We find that ...
Designing carbon taxation schemes for automobiles: a simulation exercise for Germany
(2011)
Vehicle taxation based on CO2 emissions is increasingly being adopted worldwide in order to shift consumer purchases to low-carbon cars, yet little is known about the effectiveness and overall economic impact of these ...
Are standards effective in improving automobile fuel economy? an international panel analysis
(2007)
There is an intense debate over whether fuel economy standards or fuel taxation is the more appropriate policy instrument to raise fuel economy and reduce CO2 emissions of cars. The aim of this paper is to analyze the ...
