How to tax environmentally detrimental status goods University of Kiel, Germany In this paper, we study a theoretical model of a car market with status goods and environmental externalities, and endogenous technology choice. We study first-best taxation with individual status tax rates, we derive a second-best tax rule for a uniform status tax combined with an emission tax, and a third-best tax rule with an emission tax only. Using numerical simulations, we find that the welfare difference between first- and second-best taxation is small, while the difference between second- and third-best taxation is substantial. Using results from a related paper, we propose a "status" tax at the level of 16 Euro per horse power (PS). | |
