Using three years of data from the 47 prefectures of Japan, we estimate behavior of households who simultaneously make … calculate elasticities and to simulate the effects of alternative pollution control policies such as taxes on gasoline, on … taxes on cars or to taxes on gas or distance. Thus emissions are more affected by taxes on gasoline than by taxes on …

Least-squares estimates of the response of gasoline consumption to a change in the gasoline price are biased toward … zero, given the endogeneity of gasoline prices. A seemingly natural solution to this problem is to instrument for gasoline … prices using gasoline taxes, but this approach tends to yield implausibly large price elasticities. We demonstrate that …

We propose a new instrument for estimating the price elasticity of gasoline demand that exploits systematic differences … across U.S. states in the pass-through of oil price shocks to retail gasoline prices. We show that these differences are … primarily driven by the cost of producing and distributing gasoline, which varies with states' access to oil and gasoline …
