Working Papers from California Irvine - School of Social Sciences

Abstract: Government often appears to have the objective of inducing firms to make investments that will help achieve regulatory goals: Regulations of automotive fuel efficiency and emissions are two examples. We find rhat a tax on the activity causing the externality may be unable in induce the desired investment and that when a tax could induce the investment it may be time inconsistent.
