Environmental Impact of a Green Tax on New Vehicle Sales in the Presence of Tax Exemptions

IFRO seminar

Open hybrid seminar with Juan Jose Price, Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, Chile, co-authored by Andrés Gómez-Lobo, Universidad de Chile.

About the seminar:

We estimate the environmental impact (in terms of nitrogen oxides emissions) of the green tax on new vehicle sales implemented in Chile at the end of 2014.

A Difference-in-Differences DID) approach is employed and our identification strategy benefits from the fact that this policy affected a subgroup of new vehicle sales.

Since the tax was increased on two occasions after its implementation we can also estimate its impact as a function of treatment intensity.

Our findings suggest that this policy has had a small effect on average emissions. Besides, its aggregate environmental impact is almost negligible since a large fraction of the most polluting vehicles are tax exempt."

How to participate

The seminar is open to all.

The seminar will take place in meeting room Kongelunden at the Department of Food and Resource Economics in Frederiksberg and online via Zoom.
