Abstract:

This HDR thesis presents four papers that construct econometric models to study the welfare impact of environmental policy. The methods focus on the interaction of regulatory design and strategic market responses. Successful implementation of regulation depends on understanding the strategic responses of market participants. To understand the effect of environmental regulation, we need to consider how consumers and firms respond to the regulation. The thesis develops structural econometric methods to understand the impact of recent policy interventions in the European automobile market, a setting where strategic non-compliance plays an important role.
