To what extent have national fiscal policies contributed to the decarbonisation of newly sold passenger cars? We construct a simple model that generates predictions regarding effect on average $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ emissions new cars, and then test empirically. Our empirical strategy combines diverse series data. First, we use large database vehicle-specific taxes in 15 EU countries over 2001–2010 measure for vehicle registration annual road tax levels, separately, sensitivity these taxes. find...

This study investigates the impact of entry into parenthood on changes in car ownership. If affects ownership, then delay or offset might also be an important explanation recent travel trends young adults. analysed number cars per household. Also, attention is given to role other related life course such as a change urbanisation level, employment household income. Using unique data set, which register from 2011 and 2013 Dutch population, income vehicle registration were combined, revealed...

S-30A1-1 Background/Aims: Although from a societal point of view modal shift car to bicycle may have beneficial health effects due decreased air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions increased levels physical activity, an individual adverse such as higher exposure risk traffic accident prevail. This paper describes whether the benefits activity for urban commutes outweigh risks. Methods: We summarized literature pollution, accidents, using systematic reviews supplemented with recent key...

Abstract As the international dimension of environmental laws and legislation is gaining in importance, it has become increasingly essential to compare assess data. Can data on noise, often produced by using different national calculation methods, be compared? And what does mean for (inter)national noise policy? This paper focuses created road railroad traffic. Research shows possible differences outcome calculations methodologies up 15 dB(A). Furthermore, indices standards differ...

People move to another house for different reasons. It is sometimes presumed that a process of self-selection might take place on the basis noise sensitivity, i.e., sensitive people would either leave high areas or not into these in first place. Thus, “survivor population” remain areas. This research aims investigate whether such can be observed Netherlands. The study does show evidence based sensitivity. Nevertheless, results suggest noise-sensitive are less satisfied with their living...

In many European countries, the impact of new road and railroad infrastructure is assessed by performing a cost-benefit analysis, monetising as relevant effects possible. Considering that noise major external effect traffic, this paper will systematically review guidelines for in different countries. The study shows, firstly, there are most western northern countries secondly, not all dealt with. Usually only annoyance residential context included. Thirdly, prices being attached to various...
