摘要本文探讨了消费税和燃油税调整对中国汽车工业的影响。运用Berry，Levinson，Pakes（1995）的模型和模拟方法，对调整税率前后的均衡价格和销售额、燃料消耗量、社会福利等进行了比较静态分析。第一次，我们比较了两种税收的累进性。我们的实证结果表明，燃油税是有效的，以减少燃料消耗的社会福利为代价，而消费税并没有显着影响燃料消耗或社会福利。
Abstract This paper explores the effects of consumption-tax and fuel-tax adjustments in the Chinese automobile industry. Applying the model and simulation method of Berry, Levinson, and Pakes (1995), we conduct a comparative static analysis of equilibrium prices and sales, fuel consumption, and social welfare before and after tax adjustments. For the first time, we compare the progressivity of both taxes. Our empirical findings suggest that the fuel tax is effective in decreasing fuel consumption at the expense of social welfare, while the consumption tax does not significantly affect either fuel consumption or social welfare.
