new research shows that combined home energy & transportation fuel costs make up a substantial share of household income
china and india, the world's two most populous developing economies, are also among the world's largest automotive markets and carbon emitters. to reduce carbon emissions from the passenger car sector, both countries have considered various policy levers affecting fuel prices, car prices and fuel economy. this study estimates the responsiveness of new car buyers in china and india to such policy levers and drivers including income. furthermore, we estimate the potential for rebound effect and the effectiveness of a feebate policy. to accomplish this, we developed a joint discrete-continuous model of car choice and usage based on revealed preference survey data from approximately 8000 new car buyers from india and china who purchased cars in 2016-17. conditional on buying a new car, the fuel consumption in both markets is found to be relatively unresponsive to fuel price and income, with magnitudes of elasticity estimates ranging from 0.12 to 0.15. for both markets, the mean segment-level direct elasticities of fuel consumption relative to car price and fuel economy range from 0.57 to 0.65. the rebound effect on fuel savings due to cost-free fuel economy improvement is found to be 17.1% for india and 18.8% for china. a revenue-neutral feebate policy, with average rebates and fees of up to around 15% of the retail price, resulted in fuel savings of around 0.7% for both markets. while the feebate policy's rebound effect is low - 7.3% for india and 1.6% for china - it does not appear to be an effective fuel conservation policy.
this paper develops a dual stackelberg game model to investigate the production and consumption of two-sided carbon reduction issues in a fuel car supply chain. it involves a government, a manufacturer, and multiple retailers. the government is the first to issue dual credit and fuel tax policies to regulate carbon-related decisions in the automotive supply chain. followed by the manufacturer, who makes in-production carbon reduction and fuel reduction investments under established government policies and its carbon social responsibility, and the final actor, the retailer, conducts product marketing and sales. using this model, we analyze the decentralized decision-making, cost-sharing, and revenue-sharing between supply chain members. the results show: (1) for both types of coordination, cost-sharing leads to higher profits for all supply chain members and social welfare, while fuel consumption reduction and carbon emissions in production are higher under revenue-sharing. (2) ecological performance improvement with double credit price linearly, but the level of social welfare tends to increase first and then decrease. therefore, the government should carefully choose the severity of the double credit policy by considering ecological and economic performance goals.
