Should Electric Vehicle Drivers Pay a Mileage Tax?
Davis, Lucas - 2020
In many countries the revenue from gasoline taxes is used to fund highways and other transportation infrastructure. As the number of electric vehicles on the road increases, this raises questions about the effectiveness and equity of this financing mechanism. In this paper, we ask whether...

Distributional Effects of Air Pollution from Electric Vehicle Adoption
Holland, Stephen P. - 2016
We examine the distributional effects of changes in local air pollution from driving electric vehicles in the United States. We employ an econometric model to estimate power plant emissions and an integrated assessment model to value damages in air pollution from both electric and gasoline...

Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity of Marginal Emissions : Implications for Electric Cars and Other Electricity-Shifting Policies
Graff Zivin, Joshua - 2012
In this paper, we develop a methodology for estimating marginal emissions of electricity demand that vary by location and time of day across the United States. The approach takes account of the generation mix within interconnected electricity markets and shifting load profiles throughout the...

Carbon Taxes, Path Dependency and Directed Technical Change : Evidence from the Auto Industry
Aghion, Philippe - 2014
Can directed technical change be used to combat climate change? We construct new firm-level panel data on auto industry innovation distinguishing between "dirty" (internal combustion engine) and "clean" (e.g. electric and hybrid) patents across 80 countries over several decades. We show that...

Fiscal Limits in Advanced Economies
Leeper, Eric M. - 2011
Aging populations in advanced economies are placing ever-increasing demands on government spending in the form of old-age benefits. Economies that have promised substantially more benefits than they have made provision to finance are heading into a prolonged era of fiscal stress. Unresolved...

Pro-Competitive Effects of Trade Reform : Results from a CGE Model of Cameroon
Devarajan, Shantayanan; Rodrik, Dani - 2021
How likely is trade liberalization to produce efficiency gains in the presence of imperfect competition, scale economies, and higher-than-average wages in the modern sectors -- all common features of developing economies? These features create a potential conflict to the extent that traditional...

Unintended Consequences of Transportation Carbon Policies : Land-Use, Emissions, and Innovation
Holland, Stephen P. - 2014
Renewable fuel standards, low carbon fuel standards, and ethanol subsidies are popular policies to incentivize ethanol production and reduce emissions from transportation. Compared to carbon trading, these policies lead to large shifts in agricultural activity and unexpected social costs. We...

Cost-Effective Policies to Reduce Vehicle Emissions
Fullerton, Don; Gan, Li - 2022
This paper uses an estimated demand system that accounts for heterogeneity to calculate and compare the lost consumer surplus from a higher tax on gasoline, a tax on distance, or a subsidy for buying a newer car. We introduce a view of cost-effectiveness that compares policies instead of...
