Pigovian transport pricing in practice
Hintermann, Beat; Schoeman, Beaumont Maarten; Molloy, Joseph - 2021
Pigovian transport pricing was implemented in a large-scale field experiment in urban areas of Switzerland. The pricing varied across time, space and mode of transport. One third of the participants were given a financial incentive to reduce their external costs of transport, whereas others were...

Pigovian transport pricing in practice
Hintermann, Beat; Schoeman, Beaumont Maarten; Molloy, Joseph - 2024 - Replaces version of October 2021 and May 2022
We implement Pigovian transport pricing in a field experiment in urban agglomerations of Switzerland over the course of 8 weeks. The pricing considers external costs from climate damages, health outcomes and congestion and varies across time, space and mode of transport. The treatment reduces...

Individual characteristics and stated preferences for alternative energy sources and propulsion technologies in vehicles : a discrete choice analysis
Ziegler, Andreas - 2010
This paper empirically examines the determinants of the demand for alternative energy sources and propulsion technologies in vehicles. The data stem from a stated preference discrete choice experiment with 598 potential car buyers. In order to simulate a realistic automobile purchase situation,...

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in a cost effective way in Switzerland
Wölfl, Anita; Sicari, Patrizio - 2012
Switzerland has low greenhouse gas emissions per capita as compared to other countries, which reflects the strong reliance on energy sources emitting few greenhouse gas emissions, especially in electricity generation, and little heavy industry. Greenhouse gas emissions have remained almost the...

Long-term transport energy demand and climate policy : alternative visions on transport decarbonization in energy economy models
Pietzcker, Robert C.; Longden, Thomas; Chen, Wenying; … - 2013
Transportation accounts for a substantial share of CO2 emissions, and decarbonizing transport will be necessary to … systematically analyze mitigation levers along the chain of causality from mobility to emissions, and discuss structural differences … are relatively inflexible in their reaction to climate policies. Across all models, transportation mitigation lags behind …

Power system impacts of electric vehicles in Germany : charging with coal or renewables?
Schill, Wolf-Peter; Gerbaulet, Clemens - 2015
We analyze future scenarios of integrating electric vehicles (EV) into the German power system, drawing on different assumptions on the charging mode. We use a numerical dispatch model with a unit-commitment formulation which minimizes dispatch costs over a full year. While the overall energy...

What sustainable road transport future? : trends and policy options
Proost, Stef; Van Dender, Kurt - 2010
A brief review of long run projections of demand for road transport suggests that problems related to road network congestion and greenhouse gas emissions are likely to become more pressing than they are now. Hence we review, from a macroscopic perspective, popular policy measures to address...

Green infrastructure and air pollution: evidence from highways connecting two megacities in China
Yu, Bo; Tran, Trang My; Lee, Wang-Sheng - 2021
Following market liberalisation, the vehicle population in China has increased dramatically over the past few decades. This paper examines the causal impact of the opening of a heavily used high speed rail line connecting two megacities in China in 2015, Chengdu and Chongqing, on air pollution....
