Should Electric Vehicle Drivers Pay a Mileage Tax?

Davis, Lucas W. - 2019

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...

Trade and the Greenhouse Gas Emissions from International Freight Transport

Cristea, Anca D. - 2011

responsible for 33 percent of world-wide trade-related emissions, and over 75 percent of emissions for major manufacturing … production emissions per dollar of exports are 16 percent below the world average, but once we include transport US emissions per … dollar exported are 59 percent above the world average. We use our data to systematically investigate whether trade inclusive …

Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity of Marginal Emissions : Implications for Electric Cars and Other Electricity-Shifting Policies

Zivin, Joshua S. Graff - 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...

Household Carbon Dioxide Emissions Engel Curve Dynamics

Huang, Robert; Kahn, Matthew E. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Household carbon dioxide emissions have been an increasing function of income and distance from the city. Richer suburbanites drive more and consume more electricity and natural gas at home. In recent years, richer people in California have been more likely to buy electric vehicles and to...

Carbon Taxes, Path Dependency and Directed Technical Change : Evidence from the Auto Industry

Aghion, Philippe - 2012

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...

The Environmental Bias of Trade Policy

Shapiro, Joseph S. - 2020

This paper documents a new fact, then analyzes its causes and consequences: in most countries, import tariffs and non-tariff barriers are substantially lower on dirty than on clean industries, where an industry's "dirtiness" is defined as its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per dollar of output....

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 - 1989

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...

Cost-Effective Policies to Reduce Vehicle Emissions

Fullerton, Don - 2005

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...
