Fringe benefit taxation<br />
More information is needed in the travel survey about the motorists benefitting from<br />
fringe benefit cars; e.g., data on the type of benefit, vehicle model (to determine the vehicle<br />
tax), etc.<br />
Matching of the incomplete information on car models in the national car registry with<br />
detailed records on car models, to estimate such fuel consumption relevant to the<br />
choice of model.<br />
The effects of benefit tax on e.g. mileage, and of the impact of income and benefit tax on<br />
the choice of car, its fuel, residual values, etc. Determinants of business car driving.<br />
How can the benefit tax be optimized? What compensation measures are politically feasible<br />
and cost effective? The bulk of the research is about calculations on effects, and optimal<br />
design also needs to be studied.<br />
Parking fees<br />
Inventory of data availability for the analysis of parking policy issues.<br />
How is parking policy used to control the traffic? How much and in what ways is travel<br />
affected by various parking policies?<br />
Analyse the effects of different parking standards in Hammarby Sjöstad and Stockholm<br />
Royal Seaport (Norra Djurgårdssta<strong>den</strong>). What roles did public transportation, carpool,<br />
bike, etc. play in the former, and what roles will they play in the latter? What about electric<br />
cars and electric bicycles?<br />
An international comparison of parking standards. Are parking standards necessary?<br />
Are there alternative, more market-oriented, forms of governance – e.g. tradable “parking<br />
permits”? Which problems and obstacles are there?<br />
The Inland Revenue (Skatteverket) began with benefit taxation of workplace parking in<br />
2004. Prior to that, workplace parking was a free, untaxed benefit. How has compliance<br />
been, and how much tax has been collected, e.g. compared to the congestion charges?<br />
How effective has the monitoring and enforcement been? Has it affected the traffic in<br />
e.g. Stockholm?<br />
Emission trading<br />
How far off the social marginal cost, including the national shadow price of CO2, is the<br />
internalization today – in cities and rural areas, respectively?<br />
What economic and political advantages and disadvantages are there to include road<br />
transport in EU ETS (opt-in)?<br />
What consequences would there be for the individual consumer if the fuel tax was replaced<br />
by personal allowances ("personal carbon trading", PCT)?<br />
What would an effective transaction system for PCT look like?<br />
What are the conditions for including different emissions and/or consumer products<br />
in a system for PCT?<br />
