Optimal Environmental Road pricing

Olof Johansson-Stenman ()

No 168, Working Papers in Economics from University of Gothenburg, Department of Economics

Abstract: An optimal first-best road charge should not only be differentiated with respect to factors that affect the direct external environmental and time costs from the road-user himself. Indirect effects, such as the fact that other cars will be more polluting when congestion increases, should also be taken into account.
