A Note on Potential Perverse Effects of Vehicle Carbon Taxation
Employing a unique approach to household utility maximization, this paper explores the implications of vehicle carbon taxation and subsidies in the context of household choice for urban transportation mode where there exist two private characteristics of travel: comfort and time efficiency, and a third public negative characteristic, carbon emissions. Two policies to reduce carbon emissions are examined in this framework; (1) subsidizing public transportation and imposing a tax on vehicle emissions, (2) increasing the cost of private vehicle travel, and providing a rebate of the tax collected to the consumer. The results suggest that the latter policy may have little impact on carbon emissions and could possibly lead to an increase in emissions.
期刊介绍:
The Atlantic Economic Journal (AEJ) has an international reputation for excellent articles in all interest areas, without regard to fields or methodological preferences. Founded in 1973 by the International Atlantic Economic Society, a need was identified for increased communication among scholars from different countries. For over 30 years, the AEJ has continuously sought articles that traced some of the most critical economic changes and developments to occur on the global level. The journal''s goal is to facilitate and synthesize economic research across nations to encourage cross-fertilization of ideas and scholarly research. Contributors include some of the world''s most respected economists and financial specialists, including Nobel laureates and leading government officials. AEJ welcomes both theoretical and empirical articles, as well as public policy papers. All manuscripts are submitted to a double-blind peer review process. In addition to formal publication of full-length articles, the AEJ provides an opportunity for less formal communication through its Anthology section. A small point may not be worthy of a full-length, formal paper but is important enough to warrant dissemination to other researchers. Research in progress may be of interest to other scholars in the field. A research approach ending in negative results needs to be shared to save others similar pitfalls. The Anthology section has been established to facilitate these forms of communication. Anthologies provide a means by which short manuscripts of less than 500 words can quickly appear in the AEJ. All submissions are formally reviewed by the Board of Editors. Officially cited as: Atl Econ J
