Is it all about CO2 emissions? : the environmental effects of a tax reform for new vehicles in Norway
Ciccone, Alice - 2014 - This version August 2014

Fiscal policy and CO2 emissions of new passenger cars in the EU
Gerlagh, Reyer; Bijgaart, Inge van den; Nijland, Hans; … - 2015 - This version: 16 January 2015
To what extent have national fiscal policies contributed to the decarbonisation of newly sold passenger cars? We construct a simple model that generates predictions regarding the effect of fiscal policies on average CO2 emissions of new cars, and then test the model empirically. Our empirical...

Fuel Consumption Dynamics in Europe - Implications of Fuel Tax Reforms for Air Pollution and Carbon Emissions from Road Transport
Zimmer, Anne - 2016
This paper estimates the potential of fuel tax reforms to curb harmful air pollutants and carbon emissions from road transport in Europe. We provide robust estimates for the responsiveness of fuel consumption to changes in prices, which constitute a key determinant for emissions pathways in...

Are the Costs of Reducing Greenhouse Gases from Passenger Vehicles Negative?
Parry, Ian W. H. - 2013
Energy models suggest that the cost of reducing carbon emissions from the transportation sector is high relative to other sectors, such as electricity generation. However, this paper shows that taxes to reduce passenger vehicle emissions produce large net benefits, rather than costs, when...

Carbon Policy and the Emissions Implications of Electric Vehicles
Gillingham, Kenneth; Ovaere, Marten; Weber, Stephanie - 2021
Will a carbon tax improve the welfare consequences of policies to promote electric vehicles? This paper examines when a complementarity could exist between carbon pricing and high electric vehicle adoption. We analyze electricity generation in recent years to show that in several regions, carbon...

Gillingham, Kenneth; Ovaere, Marten; Weber, Stephanie - 2021
Creativity is often highly concentrated in time and space, and across different domains. What explains the formation and decay of clusters of creativity? We match data on notable individuals born in Europe between the XIth and the XIXth century with historical city data. The production and...
