    Electric Vehicle Transition and Road Transport Levies: Forecasts and Strategies

     

    Battery electric vehicles (BEV) are increasingly replacing combustion engine vehicles (ICEV) – but what does this mean for public revenues? In their new article "Antriebswende und Straßenverkehrsabgaben: Prognosen und Strategien" (Electric Vehicle Transition and Road Transport Levies: Forecasts and Strategies), Maria Kennel, Gernot Sieg, and Berthold Wigger examine the impact of the electric vehicle transition on public revenues from motorized individual transport in Germany (currently around 51.2 billion euros per year). Since the energy tax does not apply to BEV, revenues could halve by 2050 without policy intervention. Using a dynamic simulation model, the authors compare five policy instruments to offset the revenue gap. Published in the ORDO Yearbook. Link to Article.

    Study Economics — specialize in Transport Economics

     

    The Institute of Transport Economics Münster offers the specialization in Transport Economics within the Economics degree programme. Students interested in mobility, transport policy, infrastructure, regulation and the economic analysis of transport markets will find the right foundation in the study of Economics. A new video gives prospective students an insight into the Bachelor’s programme in Economics at the University of Münster. From the IVM’s perspective, it is especially worth watching: those who wish to specialize in Transportation Science in Münster begin by choosing Economics as their field of study.
