The Unintended Consequences Of Regulation In The Presence Of Multiple Unpriced Externalities: Evidence From The Transportation Sector, Antonio M. Bento, Daniel Kaffine, Kevin Roth, Matthew Zaragoza
Antonio M. Bento
In transportation systems with unpriced congestion, allowing single-occupant low-emission vehicles in high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes to encourage their adoption exacerbates congestion costs for carpoolers. The resulting welfare effects of the policy are negative, with environmental benefits overwhelmingly dominated by the increased congestion costs. Exploiting the introduction of the Clean Air Vehicle Stickers policy in California with a regression discontinuity design, our results imply a best-case cost of $124 per ton of reductions in greenhouse gases, $606,000 dollars per ton of nitrogen oxides reduction, and $505,000 dollars per ton of hydrocarbon reduction, exceeding those of other options readily available to …

Environmental Policy In The Presence Of An Informal Sector, Antonio Bento, Mark Jacobsen, Antung Liu
Environmental Policy In The Presence Of An Informal Sector, Antonio Bento, Mark Jacobsen, Antung Liu
Antonio M. Bento
We demonstrate how the presence of an untaxed informal sector can sharply lower the cost of environmental and energy tax policy. The mechanism involves substitution between formal and informal labor supply: energy or environmental taxes can improve the efficiency of the tax system by drawing activity into the formal sector. Our result applies to broad classes of corrective taxes and we first present it in a simple analytical framework. We then investigate its magnitude in a simulation model using the case of an energy tax in the U.S., where the informal sector is relatively small. Even so, we find the …
