Distributional effects of taxing transport fuel (2012, background): “4 Source Sterner (2007).”
A system dynamics model of CO2 mitigation in China's inter-city passenger transport (2008, background): “Furthermore, fuel tax has proved useful in influencing fuel demand and associated CO2 emissions in many countries (Sterner, 2007).”
Carbon pricing and deep decarbonisation (2018, background): “Sterner (2007) has noted that global emissions from transport would have been much higher if Europe and Japan had not had high fuel tax levels, which are functionally similar to a carbon tax.”
Part I: Externalities and economic policies in road transport (2010, background): “CO2 emissions from road transport in these countries are probably lower than they would have been had no such high taxes been in place (Sterner, 2007), but”
Understanding Transport Demands and Elasticities: How Prices and Other Factors Affect Travel Behavior (2012, background): “…vehicles in multi-vehicle households, and in the long-term by increasing vehicle fuel economy (distance traveled per unit of fuel consumed), and more accessible land use patterns (Institute for Transport Studies 2004; Sterner 2006; Lipow 2008; CBO 2008; Sivak and Schoettle 2009; UKERC 2009).”
National and Sub-national Policies and Institutions (2014, background): “The accumulated difference in emissions over the years leads to a difference in several ppm 32 in CO2 concentration, presumably making fuel taxes the policy that has had the largest actual impact 33 on the climate up till now (Sterner, 2007).”
Can tourism deliver its “aspirational” greenhouse gas emission reduction targets? (2010, background): “This is economically feasible, as the cost of flying will increase by just about ∈3 per 1000 passenger kilometres (pkm) at current permit prices of ∈25 per ton of CO 2 12 (see also Sterner, 2007 ).”
The distributional effects of a carbon tax and its impact on fuel poverty: A microsimulation study in the French context (2019, result): “…results are in line with existing studies, which find the carbon tax to be regressive in developed countries (Parry et al., 2005; Fullerton, 2008; Sterner, 2007) and more particularly in France (Nichèle and Robin, 1995; Ruiz and Trannoy, 2008; Berri et al., 2014; Clerc and Marcus, 2009; Bureau,…”
An Even Sterner Review: Introducing Relative Prices into the Discounting Debate (2008, background): “In a recent paper, Hoel and Sterner (2007) analyze a conceptual model of the economy consisting of two sectors with different growth rates.3 This model can be used to analyze an economy where one (conventional) sector grows “forever” and the other (let us call it environmental services) sector is…”

A new approach to measuring the rebound effect associated to energy efficiency improvements: An application to the US residential energy demand (2015, background): “As enhancements on efficiency in this sector seem to fail for reducing energy consumption, energy taxes could have a prominent role within the energy and climate policies raised to control this issue as happens in the transport sector (Sterner, 2007; Frondel et al., 2012).”
