In this paper, we explore automobile fuel efficiency policies in the presence of two externalities i) a global environmental problem; and ii) international innovation spillovers. Using a simple model with two regions, we show that both a fuel tax and a tax on vehicles based on their fuel economy...

I analyze energy-efficiency policy as a prescription of a minimum-efficiency standard for energy-using household goods … like cars, building insulation, and home appliances. Such a policy has two effects. At the intensive margin, a household … consequences. I analyze the equilibrium effects of a minimum-efficiency standard, taking price adjustments and household …
