The Market Impact and the Cost of Environmental Policy: Evidence from the Swedish Green Car Rebate
Huse, Cristian; Lucinda, Claudio - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
We quantify the effects of the Swedish GCR, a program to reduce oil dependence and greenhouse gas emissions in the automobile industry. We find the GCR to increase the market shares of `green cars' and its cost to be $109/tonCO2 saved, thus 5 times the price of an emission permit. Since the main...
