报告简介
China is by far the largest new vehicle market in the world and plays an increasingly important role in the world oil market. Major urban areas in China are experiencing the world's worst traffic congestion and air pollution. In order to push automakers to improve fuel economy technology and reduce fuel consumption and associated externalities, China adopted the Corporate Average Fuel Consumption (CAFC) standards in 2012, requiring the sales weighted average corporate fuel consumption (liters/100km) to be below a firm-specific target. This study offers the first welfare analysis on China's fuel economy regulation by developing and estimating an equilibrium model of automobile market consisting of demand and supply sides. The demand side features consumers with heterogeneous preferences and the supply side consists of multi-product firms that make pricing and vehicle attribute decisions along the technological frontier.
