Carbon Taxes and the Composition of New Passenger Car Sales in Europe

Abstract: This paper examines the effectiveness of implementing carbon taxes to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from transport. Using the system Generalized Method of Moments estimator, we utilize cross-country analysis for the first time to study the impact of carbon taxes on the composition of petrol versus diesel passenger cars sold in 17 countries over the period 2013–2017. The results suggest that increasing carbon taxes affects consumer behavior, causing a significant shift from petrol to diesel fuel vehicles, con… Show more

“…Furthermore, He et al, (2019) [6] indicated that these taxes have reduced CO 2 emissions and fossil fuel use in Nordic countries and the G7 countries in the long run. Nadirov et al, (2020) [7] clarified that increasing carbon taxes affects consumer behavior, resulting in a significant shift from petrol to diesel fuel vehicles in 17 countries. Product price changes associated with the introduction of carbon taxes and the associated impacts on households have been studied in various countries, including the United States [8], Japan [9][10][11], France [12], and Thailand [13].…”
