文摘

We examine the effect of aviation fuel tax on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The data is an unbalanced panel data of US carriers from 1995 to 2013. We use a simultaneous quantile regression method. The long-run fuel price elasticity varies depending on consumption quantiles. A tax increase has a larger impact on smaller carriers than on larger carriers.
