Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We examine the impacts of increased US gasoline taxes in a model that links
the markets for new, used, and scrapped vehicles and recognizes the considerable
heterogeneity among households and cars. Household choice parameters
derive from an estimation procedure that integrates individual choices for car
ownership and miles traveled. We find that each cent-per-gallon increase in the
price of gasoline reduces the equilibrium gasoline consumption by about 0.2
percent. Taking account of revenue recycling, the impact of a 25-cent gasoline
tax increase on the average household is about $30 per year (2001 dollars).
Distributional impacts depend importantly on how additional revenues from
the tax increase are recycled. (JEL D12, H22, H25, L62, L71)
