| Tiivistelmä: | The paper presents a model to analyze the interactions between actors involved in car and fuel taxation: consumers, car producers, fuel producers and the government. Heterogenous consumers choose between two versions of a car that differ in engine type (diesel or gasoline). Car manufacturers and fuel producers maximize profits taking into account the effects of their behaviour on each other and on consumers. In both the car and the fuel market the monopoly and the full competitiveness cases are considered. For each of the four possible combinations, the Nash equilibria conditional on tax rates is is calculated. These tools are used to address issues of optimal fuel taxation for a government that has environmental as well as budgetary targets. |
