In the benchmark specification, we find that six countries (accounting, in turn, for more than 40 percent of motor …-fuel GHG world emissions) would be undertaxing motor fuel. We evaluate the sensitivity of the results to the values of the …

Employing the by-production approach to modelling emission-generating technologies proposed in Murty, Russell, Levkoff [2012] and Murty [2015] and adapting the policy reform approach to taxation policy in public economics due to Feldstein [1975] and Guesnerie [1977], we propose a methodology to...
