Yueykabuey Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 My article for my economics IA is on a rise in petrol tax in NZ. I was wondering if you guys can think of any other evaluation points for that?So far, I've got- demand price inelastic- impact on low income earners- substitutes with public transport- possible increase in demand for fuel-efficient carsAre there any more I can include? Please do help! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanishas Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 talk about the share holders when taxes increases, not just the low income owners but also the increase in government spending due to increase in government revenues , which basically means increase in merit goods Talk about the long run effects as well. Due to the decrease in petrol you can talk about the decrease in pollution which is basically negative externalities and market failure ANd im not sure about this point ! But wouldnt the increase in technology due to increase in fuel efficient cars imply a shift in ppc curves Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
