The modelling implemented GEM-E3 allows three channels through which can occur: decrease medical expenditure, increase consumers’ available time and labour productivity...
This paper examines the rationale for different tax treatment of gasoline and diesel cars currently observed in Europe. First, we analyse possible justifications a treatment: pure revenue considerations, externality considerations constraints on instruments used trucks. Next, an applied general equilibrium model is to assess welfare effects neutral changes vehicle fuel taxes cars. The integrates revenue, environmental externalities, road congestion, accidents income distribution.
