Electric vehicles are declining in cost so rapidly that they may claim a large share of the vehicle market by 2030 … standards in the context of highly uncertain electric vehicle costs in the next decade. The analysis takes a cost …-effectiveness approach and uses analytical modeling and simulation to develop insight. I show that counting electric vehicles under a …

hedonic model that takes gasoline costs into account is developed and some of its theoretical implications are outlined …Did the 1973 and 1979 gasoline price rises change consumer views about the relative quality of different cars? This … to analyze the prices of U.S. passenger cars in the used market during 1970-1981. If one does not take gasoline costs …

We leverage a natural experiment, where a large national automotive racing organization switched from leaded to unleaded fuel, to study how ambient lead exposure and nutrition impact learning in elementary school. The average race emitted more than 10 kilograms of lead -- a quantity similar to...

Notches --- where small changes in behavior lead to large changes in a tax or subsidy --- figure prominently in many policies, but have been rarely examined by economists. In this paper, we analyze a class of notches associated with policies aimed at improving vehicle fuel economy. We provide...
