本文提出了第一次调查的最优能源税的影响，在城市空间环境中，产生的排放量的住宅和通勤。当对能源或碳使用征收最优直接税不可行时，分析表明，通过土地税、住房税和通勤税的组合，可以产生完全相同的资源配置调整。然后，我们分析了这些税收对城市空间结构的影响，表明它们减少了通勤的程度和住房消费水平，同时增加了建筑高度，产生了一个更紧凑的城市，人均排放水平较低。
This paper presents the first investigation of the effects of optimal energy taxation in an urban spatial setting, where emissions are produced both by residences and commuting. When levying an optimal direct tax on energy or carbon use is not feasible, the analysis shows that exactly the same adjustments in resource allocation can be generated by the combination of a land tax, a housing tax, and a commuting tax. We then analyze the effects of these taxes on urban spatial structure, showing that they reduce the extent of commuting and the level of housing consumption while increasing building heights, generating a more-compact city with a lower level of emissions per capita.
