Vehicle taxation based on CO2 emissions is increasingly being adopted worldwide in order to shift consumer purchases to low-carbon cars, yet little is known about the effectiveness and overall economic impact of these schemes. We focus on feebate schemes, which impose a fee on high-carbon...

Vehicle taxation based on a car’s CO2 emission levels is increasingly adopted in countries around the world. This paper describes a model of oligopolistic competition in markets with differentiated products, simulating automobile demand and supply under alternative tax regimes. The objective...

Several policy tools are being employed or debated as possible ways of curbing carbon emissions in the transportation sector. One such instrument is the taxation of vehicle purchases, often in the form of feebates. We estimate a model of demand for automobiles in Cyprus and simulate scenarios...
