Gasoline Prices , Fuel Economy , and the Energy
It is often asserted that consumers undervalue future gasoline costs relative to purchase prices when they choose between automobiles, or equivalently that they have high "implied discount rates" for these future energy costs. We show how this can be tested by measuring whether relative prices of vehicles with different fuel economy ratings fully adjust to time series variation in gasoline pric...
متن کاملAutomobile Prices, Gasoline Prices, and Consumer Demand for Fuel Economy
The relationship between gasoline prices and the demand for vehicle fuel efficiency is important for environmental policy but poorly understood in the academic literature. We provide empirical evidence that automobile manufacturers price as if consumers respond to gasoline prices. We derive a reduced-form regression equation from theoretical micro-foundations and estimate the equation with near...
متن کاملVehicle Miles Traveled, Fuel Economy Efficiency And Costs of Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standard
This paper investigates how fuel economy efficiency affects household vehicle mileage traveled and its distribution. Using a detailed micro-level data of National Household Travel Survey 2001 and 2008, we estimated a recursive structural model for joint determination of vehicle fuel efficiency choice and vehicle mileage traveled each year. We further studied the distributional effects on vehicl...
متن کاملFuel Economy Sensitivity to Vehicle Mass for Advanced Vehicle Powertrains
In 2002, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) launched FreedomCAR, which is a partnership with automakers to advance high-technology research needed to produce practical, affordable advanced vehicles that have the potential to significantly improve fuel economy in the near-term. Advanced materials (including metals, polymers, composites, and intermetallic compounds) can play an important role in...
متن کاملMatchmaking between vehicle miles traveled and fuel economy: the role of gasoline prices
This paper studies a potential e ect of gasoline prices that has been overlooked in the literature. Due to heterogeneity in demand for vehicle miles traveled (VMT), when gasoline prices increase, the increased cost of operating an ine cient vehicle are greater for households that drive more. Thus, in equilibrium, after an increase in the gasoline prices there should be a stronger matching from ...
