Pigovian Transport Pricing in Practice

Hintermann, Beat; Schoemann, Beaumont; Molloy, Joseph; … - 2025

We implement Pigovian transport pricing in a field experiment in urban agglomerations of Switzerland over the course of 8 weeks. Our pricing considers the external costs from climate damages, health outcomes from pollution, accidents and physical activity, and congestion. It varies across time,...

Pigovian transport pricing in practice

Hintermann, Beat; Schoeman, Beaumont Maarten; Molloy, Joseph - 2024

We implement Pigovian transport pricing in a field experiment in urban agglomerations of Switzerland over the course of 8 weeks. The pricing considers external costs from climate damages, health outcomes and congestion and varies across time, space and mode of transport. The treatment reduces...

Pigovian transport pricing in practice

Hintermann, Beat; Schoeman, Beaumont Maarten; Molloy, Joseph - 2021

Pigovian transport pricing was implemented in a large-scale field experiment in urban areas of Switzerland. The pricing varied across time, space and mode of transport. One third of the participants were given a financial incentive to reduce their external costs of transport, whereas others were...

Long-term transport energy demand and climate policy: Alternative visions on transport decarbonization in energy economy models

Pietzcker, Robert; Longden, Thomas; Chen, Wenying; Fu, Sha - 2013

Transportation accounts for a substantial share of CO2 emissions, and decarbonizing transport will be necessary to … systematically analyze mitigation levers along the chain of causality from mobility to emissions, and discuss structural differences … are relatively inflexible in their reaction to climate policies. Across all models, transportation mitigation lags behind …

Power system impacts of electric vehicles in Germany: Charging with coal or renewables?

Schill, Wolf-Peter; Gerbaulet, Clemens - 2015

We analyze future scenarios of integrating electric vehicles (EV) into the German power system, drawing on different assumptions on the charging mode. We use a numerical dispatch model with a unit-commitment formulation which minimizes dispatch costs over a full year. While the overall energy...

Freight Futures: The Potential Impact of Road Freight on Climate Policy

Carrara, Samuel; Longden, Thomas - 2017

This paper describes changes to the modelling of the transport sector in the WITCH (World Induced Technical Change Hybrid) model to incorporate road freight and account for the intensity of freight with respect to GDP. Modelling freight demand based on the intensity of freight with respect to...
