Efficiency of Decentralized Road Investment and Pricing in a Multi-Jurisdictional City with Spillovers
Brueckner, Jan K. - 2013
This paper shows that the inefficiency of fiscal decentralization in the presence of spillovers, a main tenet of the decentralization literature, is overturned in a particular transportation context. In a monocentric city where road (bridge) capacity is financed by budget-balancing user fees,...

Cordon Tolling in a City with Congested Bridges
Brueckner, Jan K. - 2014
This paper analyzes cordon tolling using a simple model where space is discrete rather than continuous, with commuting costs incurred only on two congested bridges. The first-best regime requires tolls on both bridges, whereas only the inner bridge is tolled under the cordon-toll regime. While...

Manipulable Congestion Tolls
Brueckner, Jan K.; Verhoef, Erik T. - 2009
The recent literature on congestion pricing with large agents contains a remarkable inconsistency: though agents are … large enough to recognize self-imposed congestion and exert market power over prices, they do not take into account the … impact of their own actions on the magnitude of congestion tolls. When large agents are confronted with tolls derived under …

The efficient combination of taxes on fuel and vehicles
Bjertnæs, Geir H. M. - 2017
A tax on fuel combined with tax-exemptions or subsidies for purchase of fuel-efficient vehicles is implemented in many countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other negative externalities from road traffic. This study, however, shows that a tax on fuel should be combined with heavier...

Taxation of fuel and vehicles when emissions are constrained
Bjertnæs, Geir H. M. - 2021
A tax on fuel combined with tax exemptions or subsidies for fuel-efficient vehicles is implemented in many countries to fulfill the Paris agreement and to curb mileage-related externalities from road traffic. The present study shows that a tax on fuel should be combined with heavier taxation of...
