“…More work along these lines is called for. 9 It is our contention that spatial economics has reached a sufficiently mature level to trigger cross-fertilization. The work of Moretti (2011) and Zenou (2009), which lies at the interfaces of labor and spatial economics, provides an illuminating example of what could be accomplished by combining fields.…”

“…Transportation economists should pay more attention to the wider benefits associated with the construction of new transport infrastructure, while regional and urban economists should pay more attention to 9 Researchers appear to have missed the fact that many spatial models have the particular structure of a population game, i.e., games with a large number of small and anonymous players (firms or workers), a finite number of pure strategies (the locations), and continuous payoffs. Such games always have a Nash equilibrium in pure strategies and display convenient properties (Sandholm 2010).…”

Spatial economics aims to explain why there are peaks and troughs in the spatial distribution of wealth and people, from the international and regional to the urban and local. The main task is to identify the microeconomic underpinnings of centripetal forces, which lead to the concentration of economic activities, and centrifugal forces, which bring about the dispersion of economic activities at the regional and urban levels. Transportation matters at both scales, but in a different way. The emphasis is on the interregional flows of goods and passenger trips at the regional level and on individual commuting at the urban level. ( JEL F12, L13, R12, R23, R30, R40)

“…Reducing greenhouse gases in transport policies is a topic which is researched from many perspectives, spanning from transport efficiency [39,40], transport costs and emissions factors [41,42], transport modes in the EU [43,44] and more recently the use of big data [45,46] for designing mobility policies as well as technology transfer and innovation [47]. A clear gap in literature is the analysis of alternative policy instruments that focus on demand-side policies.…”

Reducing Road Transport Emissions in Europe: Investigating A Demand Side Driven Approach †

The European Union aims at net-zero emissions by 2050. A key sector to achieve this goal is road transport, where emissions show no signs of reducing but continue to grow. A review of policies undertaken by EU member states and the G20 to reduce transport emissions reveals that both present and planned policies focus on binding supply-side measures, but offer only weak demand-side incentives. To address this imbalance, we developed a downstream, demand-side policy prototype through an expert interview design process. We call the prototype “cap-and-surrender” because it caps road emissions, and then allocates tradable emission allowances to individual vehicles that drivers surrender at each fill-up. Allowance pricing, both by the state and in the secondary market, is designed to incentivize decarbonization of the sector. Though the system would require significant investment, its revenue potential to the state should exceed this investment by several multiples. We discuss the potential economic, environmental and social impacts of the policy, as assessed by European transport experts. We find that the approach can deliver significant transport emission reductions in an effective and economically efficient manner. Through the appropriate design of national allocation rules and a gradual phasing in of cap and surrender, potential negative social consequences can be mitigated, and public acceptance of the policy promoted.

“…Since vehicle purchasing choice is affected by many different combinations of vehicle characteristics (e.g., brand, refueling and recharging, price, etc. ), the need to study consumer preferences in vehicle purchase decisions is vital (Wangsness et al, 2020). In addition, Broadbent et al, (2021) associated purchasing behavior with individuals' capabilities like; knowledge & skills, consumer attitude, social status, and financial resources.…”

The shift of consumer buying preferences toward green vehicle can alleviate environmental degradation to a certain extent. Nevertheless, the uptake of green vehicles is still low. To understand this phenomenon, this systematic review focuses on the factors that influence vehicle-purchasing behavior. This study adopted the PRISMA method for the review and utilized Scopus and Web of Science as the main journal databases. The findings from this systematic review contribute to the body of knowledge by providing the basis for future research to evaluate the purchase intention of green vehicles by non-green vehicle drivers and the reasoning behind their vehicle preferences.
