We simultaneously optimize multiple tax instruments (fuel tax, car-ownership tax, and tolls) when these instruments are used as public funds with distortionary labor tax, accounting for pollution, congestion, accident externalities, and fiscal constraints of the tax-related agency and the toll-collecting agency. We quantitatively optimize taxes and tolls using parameters for Japan under three scenarios: (1) imposition of peak and off-peak tolls at different rates and simultaneous optimization of all tax instruments; (2) optimization of only car-related taxes without consolidation of the toll-collecting agency’s fiscal constraints; (3) optimization of only fuel tax. We find that peak toll and fuel tax should be higher, and off-peak toll and car-ownership tax should be lower than the current rate under Scenario 1. Scenarios 1 can improve welfare by 1000 to 2400 dollars/car, and Scenarios 2 and 3 can achieve more than 90% and 20–60% of the welfare gain in Scenario 1, respectively.

考虑日本公共资金的边际成本,同时优化汽车使用和通行费的多种税费

当这些工具被用作具有扭曲劳动税的公共资金时,我们会同时优化多种税收工具(燃油税,汽车所有权税和通行费),并考虑与税收有关的机构的污染,拥堵,事故外部性和财政约束,以及收费机构。在以下三种情况下,我们使用日本的参数对税收和通行费进行了定量优化:(1)以不同的费率征收高峰和非高峰通行费,同时优化所有税收工具;(2)仅优化与汽车有关的税收,而没有合并收费机构的财政约束;(3)优化仅燃油税。我们发现,方案1下的高峰期通行费和燃油税应更高,非高峰期通行费和汽车所有权税应低于当前税率。
