Abstract:
The Danish Ministry of Transport has carried out a project with
the purpose of investigating the potential for and the social
costs of implementing various policy measures in order to reduce
the total emissions of CO2 from the transport sector in Denmark.
The overall objective has been to improve the basis for policy
decisions in the efforts to fulfil the national target for
reduction of the CO2-emissions from the transport sector by
calculating estimates of the social costs for a long list of
potential policy measures. This paper focuses on the developed
method for calculation of the social costs related to the
implementation various policy measureuch as taxes and other
economic instruments, investments and technology improvements and
regulations. The approach is based on (partial) welfare
econo-mics and takes into account a wide range of cost elements,
not just investment and operating costs but also consumer surplus
losses and gains as well as a first attempt to estimate the
external costs per vehicle kilometre from infrastructure use,
congestion, , accidents, air pollution and noise.
