This report assesses the economic costs and benefits of decarbonising passenger cars and vans in the UK. A scenario approach has been developed to assess a range of possible futures for vehicle technology in the UK, and then economic modelling has been applied to assess impacts. The study is based …
To what extent have national fiscal policies contributed to the decarbonisation of newly sold passenger cars? Construct a simple model that generates predictions regarding the effect of fiscal policies on average CO2 emissions of new cars, and then test the model empirically. Empirical strategy combines a diverse series of data. …
