Produkt am Markt erfolgreich zu sein. Gleichzeitig werden Anforderungen, die an ein Produkt gestellt werden, vielfältiger. Ein verbreitetes Vorgehen zum Umgang mit der großen Anforderungsmenge ist die unstrukturierte Wiederverwendung durch das Kopieren einzelner Anforderungen bis hin ganzer...

We quantify the effects of the Swedish GCR, a program to reduce oil dependence and greenhouse gas emissions in the automobile industry. We ?nd the GCR to increase the market shares of `green cars' and its cost to be $109/tonCO2 saved, thus 5 times the price of an emission permit. Since the main...

Personal automobile emissions are a major source of urban air pollution. Many U.S. states control emissions through mandated vehicle inspections and repairs. But there is little empirical evidence directly linking mandated inspections, maintenance, and local air pollution levels. To test for a...

Die deutsche Bundesregierung hat das Ziel ausgegeben, bis zum Jahr 2020 einen Bestand von einer Million Elektrofahrzeugen in der deutschen Fahrzeugflotte zu erreichen. Bis zum Jahr 2030 soll der Bestand bis auf sechs Millionen Elektrofahrzeuge ansteigen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird im Rahmen...

This paper empirically examines the determinants of the demand for alternative energy sources and propulsion technologies in vehicles. The data stem from a stated preference discrete choice experiment with 598 potential car buyers. In order to simulate a realistic automobile purchase situation,...

Inspiriert vor allem von diskurstheoretischen Überlegungen und den Ergebnissen einer explorativen in-depth Fallstudie, welche neben einer grundlegenden Darstellung der fast gänzlich vom Verbrennungsmotor bestimmten Geschichte des US-Automobilfeldes insbesondere dessen völlig unerwartete...

How should we evaluate the welfare implications of improvements to safety technologies in the presence of offsetting behavior? We model this problem as a symmetric game in which each player's payoff depends on his own action and the average action of the other players, and analyze under which...

We study the impact of fuel taxes and kilometer taxes on households' choices of vehicle quality, on their demand for kilometers driven, and on fuel consumption. Moreover, embedding this information in a model of the car market, we analyze the implications of these taxes for the opportunity costs...

The book examines innovation in environment-friendly technologies in the automobile industry. The focus of the book are Germany (a technology leader in the global automobile industry), on the one hand, and India, China and Brazil (technologically proficient emerging technology leaders) on the...

Der Tagungsband zum 9. Wissenschaftsforum Mobilität an der Universität Duisburg-Essen im Juni 2017 untersucht den Einfluss der fortschreitenden Digitalisierung auf traditionelle Automobilunternehmen und neue Mobilitätsanbieter. Die Beiträge des Forums an den Schnittstellen der...

A brief review of long run projections of demand for road transport suggests that problems related to road network congestion and greenhouse gas emissions are likely to become more pressing than they are now. Hence we review, from a macroscopic perspective, popular policy measures to address...

The paper reports the research done in the Stanford University Graduate School of Business 2008 Bass Seminar "Strategic Thinking in Action - In Business and Beyond: The United States' Quest for Energy Resilience," taught by Professors Robert A. Burgelman and Andrew S. Grove. The goal of the...

There is an intense debate over whether fuel economy standards or fuel taxation is the more efficient policy instrument to raise fuel economy and reduce CO2 emissions of cars. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of standards and fuel prices on new car fuel economy with the aid of...

Differentiated vehicle taxes are considered by many a useful tool for promoting environmentally friendly vehicles. Various structures have been implemented in several countries, e.g. Ireland, France, The Czech Republic, and Denmark. In many countries the tax reforms have been followed by a steep...

Pollution emissions from mobile sources have increased considerably over the past years in many Brazilian cities generating substantial health problems. As a response, automobile pollution environmental standards were implemented in 1988 and considerable emission reductions were attained....

Innovation processes are out of necessity and by definition always open-ended and embedded in social interests and beliefs. This paper reports a study of how a power-split technology for hybrid vehicles needed and found support and interest from a variety of social actors to reach the market....
