ENVIRONMENTAL PRICING IN TRANSPORT. IN: HANDBOOK OF TRANSPORT AND THE ENVIRONMENT

This chapter examines environmental pricing, defined broadly to include emission/product taxes and subsidies, and compares it to alternative approaches. A simple formal model is first presented to demonstrate the relative efficiency properties of pricing solutions, before highlighting some associated implementation problems. The scope and realism of the analysis is then extended by examining the choice between regulatory instruments in the presence of several market distortions. The basic case for environmental taxes, set at a correct level, is shown to remain.
