Effect of Congestion Charge and Fuel Arbitrage on Air Quality in Stockholm
In August 2007,the congestion chargeis launched in Stockholm after a seven-month trial period in 2006.This paper applies empirical methods to estimate the effects of the implementation of congestion charge on the air quality in Stockholm.I find that the trial and permanent congestion tax have reduced the emissions of major air pollutants.I also find evidences that the time-varying congestion pricing decreased the air pollutions in peak hours,and suggestive signs of peak spreading onto non-peak hours.In addition,I show that thefuel switching behavior by FFV (Flexible Fuel Vehicle) motorists might have mixed effects on different air pollutant emissions.
