Although the literature on emission inequality is abundant, this study will differentiate itself by focusing on emission inequalities at the household level due to the disparity in household expenditure profiles. We further separate measures on emission inequality based on household...

In this paper, we investigate whether French consumers have modified their preferences towards environmentally-friendly vehicles between 2003 and 2008. We estimate a model of demand for automobiles incorporating both consumers' heterogeneity and CO2 emissions of the vehicles. Our results show...

This article aims to describe the design of these prices on carbon consumption … considering whether to price carbon consumption. We find a clear trend of policymakers layering prices on carbon consumption on …

By using estimates from an Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS), we investigate how the German energy tax on car fuels changes the private households-CO2 emissions, living standards, and post-tax income distribution. Our results show that the tax implies a trade-off between the aim to reduce...

Consumption surveys often record zero purchases of a good because of a short observation window. Only mean consumption … rates can then be inferred. We show that propensity scores can be used to estimate each unit's consumption rate, revealing … purchase no fuel. Estimated consumption rates are plausible judging by households' annual mileages, and highly skewed. We apply …

We analyze welfare implications of policies promoting environmentally friendly vehicles employing rich Swiss micro-data on 23,000 newly purchased cars and their buyers. Our estimates reveal substantial income heterogeneity in price elasticity and electric vehicle (EV) adoption. While CO2 levies...

Nudges and behavioral interventions have become a popular tool to stimulate prosocial behavior. Little is known, however, on how to design effective social interventions in contexts in which the descriptive norm is low, i.e. when a desirable behavior is only practiced by a minority within the...

Carbon taxes are a prominent policy instrument for decreasing the consumption of CO2-intensive goods in order to reduce … the negative external effects involved in the production or consumption of such goods. A tax leads to higher consumer … prices, which typically lowers consumption. However, in this paper we provide evidence from laboratory experiments that …
