摘要

客运具有显著的外部性，包括碳排放和空气污染。公共卫生研究发现，由于体育锻炼对健康有益，积极旅行可以带来额外的社会收益。每英里，这些收益大大超过了汽车使用的外部成本。将主动出行引入最优燃油税模型，并对次优燃油税进行了分析表征。我们发现，考虑到主动出行福利，美国和英国的最优燃油税分别增加了44%和38%。燃油税应与其他旨在增加积极旅行的政策一起执行。

Healthy climate, healthy bodies: Optimal fuel taxation and physical activity

Passenger transport has significant externalities, including carbon emissions and air pollution. Public health research has identified additional social gains from active travel, due to the health benefits of physical exercise. Per mile, these benefits greatly exceed the external costs from car use. We introduce active travel into an optimal fuel taxation model and characterize analytically the second-best optimal fuel tax. We find that accounting for active travel benefits increases the optimal fuel tax by 44% in the USA and 38% in the UK. Fuel taxes should be implemented jointly with other policies aimed at increasing the uptake of active travel.
