Chapter 5 – Is There an Energy Efficiency Gap? (2012, unknown): “Jacobsen (2010), for example, simulates automobile supply and demand and shows that Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards have a welfare cost of $222 per metric ton of carbon dioxide abated, compared to $92 per ton for a gas tax that generates the same amount of abatement.”
The Economics of Attribute-Based Regulation: Theory and Evidence from Fuel Economy Standards (2017, unknown): “Finally, Jacobsen (2013) addresses the safety impacts of footprint-based standards in the United States, which we discuss.”
Internal and external barriers to energy efficiency: which role for policy interventions? (2019, background): “They produce negative distributional effects and their impact is limited if the price elasticity of energy demand is small (Jacobsen 2013).”
French attitudes on climate change, carbon taxation and other climate policies (2020, background): “For instance, fuel economy standards in the US have been estimated to be three to six times more costly than a tax on gasoline for similar abatement levels (Jacobsen, 2013), and as possibly more regressive (Jacobsen, 2013; Davis & Knittel, 2019; Levinson, 2019).”
