Taxes Versus Regulation: The Welfare Impacts of Policies for Containing Sprawl
Our central concern in this paper is to examine some alternative policies for physically containing the growth of urban areas. We undertake a microsimulation to provide a comparison between land use planning policies that enforce an urban growth boundary and policies that limit development at the periphery using taxes. We parameterise our microsimulation using the structure of demand and policy...
متن کاملDynamic Climate Policy with Both Strategic and Non-Strategic Agents Taxes Versus Quantities
This paper studies a dynamic game where each of two large blocs, of fossil fuel importers and exporters respectively, sets either taxes or quotas to exercise power in fossil-fuel markets. The main novel feature is the inclusion of a “fringe” of nonstrategic (emerging and developing) countries which both consume and produce fossil fuels. Cumulated emissions over time from global fossil fuel cons...
متن کاملDynamic environmental policy with strategic firms: prices versus quantities
Environmental regulators often have imperfect information about regulated firms’ abatement costs. In this paper we compare taxes and emissions permits in a dynamic setting in which firms behave strategically. The regulator updates policy over time based upon previous aggregate industry performance, assuming that firms are not strategic. We find that strategic firms facing an emissions tax have ...

متن کاملFuel Taxes versus Effi ciency Standards – An Instrumental Variable Approach
Using household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2012, we employ an instrumental variable (IV) approach to estimate fuel price and effi ciency elasticities. The aim is to gauge the relative impacts of fuel economy standards and fuel taxes on distance traveled. We fi nd that the magnitudes of the elasticity estimates are statistically indistinguishable: higher fuel prices ...
