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...

Pigovian transport pricing in practice

Hintermann, Beat; Schoeman, Beaumont Maarten; Molloy, Joseph - 2024 - Replaces version of October 2021 and May 2022

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...

Marginal Social Cost Pricing on a Transportation Network : A Comparison of Second-Best Policies

Safirova, Elena - 2008

social costs of transportation. In order to conduct this analysis, we employ a spatially disaggregated general equilibrium …-disaggregated strategic transportation planning model that features mode, time period, and route choice. The model is calibrated to the … that accounts for other external effects of transportation. We find that when the ultimate policy goal is a reduction in …

Optimal Fuel Taxation With Suboptimal Health Choices

Sulikova, Simona; Bijgaart, Inge van den; Klenert, David; … - 2020

Transport has a large number of significant externalities including carbon emissions, air pollution, accidents, and congestion. Active travel such as cycling and walking can reduce these externalities. Moreover, public health research has identified additional social gains from active travel due...

Climate effects of carbon taxes, taking into account possible other future climate measures

Habermacher, Florian; Kirchgässner, Gebhard - 2011

The increase of fuel extraction costs as well as of temperature will make it likely that in the medium-term future technological or political measures against global warming may be implemented. In assessments of a current climate policy the possibility of medium-term future developments like...

Integrated assessment of climate catastrophes with endogenous uncertainty : does the risk of ice sheet collapse justify precautionary mitigation?

Diaz, Delavane B. - 2015

Greenhouse gas policies confront the trade-off between the costs of reducing emissions and the benefits of avoided climate change. The risk of uncertain and potentially irreversible catastrophes is an important issue related to the latter, and one that has not yet been well incorporated into...

What Should We Expect from Innovation? A Model-Based Assessment of the Environmental and Mitigation Cost Implications of Climate-Related R&D

Bosetti, Valentina - 2012

This paper addresses two basic issues related to technological innovation and climate stabilisation objectives: i) Can innovation policies be effective in stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations? ii) To what extent can innovation policies complement carbon pricing (taxes or permit trading) and...
