Un nuevo impuesto a la gasolina: estimando su efecto en el consumo
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|November 17, 1978
Resumen
Un impuesto propuesto de 5 centavos anuales a la gasolina de 1979 a 1988 podría reducir significativamente el consumo de combustible. Este hallazgo desafía las suposiciones comunes sobre el impacto de tales políticas en los hábitos de conducción.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Economía La economía es la economía.
- Política energética Política energética Política de energía
- Ciencias del medio ambiente Ciencias del medio ambiente.
Sus antecedentes:
- La elasticidad de la demanda de gasolina es un factor clave para predecir los efectos de los impuestos a los combustibles.
- Los dictámenes anteriores sugirieron un impacto limitado de pequeños impuestos incrementales sobre el consumo de combustible.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para estimar la reducción potencial en el consumo de gasolina.
- Para evaluar la efectividad de una política gradual de impuestos a la gasolina.
Principales métodos:
- Extrapolación de los datos existentes de la elasticidad de la demanda de gasolina.
- Modelado del impacto de un aumento anual de impuestos de 5 centavos por galón.
Principales resultados:
- Se proyectan reducciones significativas en el consumo de gasolina.
- Se espera que la política fiscal propuesta sea más efectiva de lo que se cree ampliamente.
Conclusiones:
- Los impuestos incrementales a la gasolina pueden conducir a disminuciones sustanciales en el uso de combustible.
- Las intervenciones políticas, incluso aparentemente pequeñas, pueden influir en el comportamiento del consumidor en el mercado de la energía.

02:37Standard Enthalpy of Formation
Enthalpy changes are typically tabulated for reactions in which both the reactants and products are at the same conditions. A standard state is a commonly accepted set of conditions used as a reference point for the determination of properties under other different conditions. For chemists, the IUPAC standard state refers to materials under a pressure of 1 bar and solutions at 1 M and does not specify a temperature. Many thermochemical tables list values with a standard state of 1 atm. Because...
01:25The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the $2,000...
02:14Combustion Energy: A Measure of Stability in Alkanes and Cycloalkanes
The low reactivity in alkanes can be attributed to the non-polar nature of C–C and C–H σ bonds. Alkanes, therefore, were initially termed as “paraffins,” derived from the Latin words: parum, meaning “too little,” and affinis, meaning “affinity.”
Alkanes undergo combustion in the presence of excess oxygen and high-temperature conditions to give carbon dioxide and water. A combustion reaction is the energy source in natural gas, liquified petroleum gas (LPG), fuel oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, and...

03:19Gas Laws: Boyle's, Gay-Lussac, Charles', Avogadro's, and Ideal Gas Law
Through experiments, scientists established the mathematical relationships between pairs of variables, such as pressure and temperature, pressure and volume, volume and temperature, and volume and moles, that hold for an ideal gas.
04:01Real Gases: Effects of Intermolecular Forces and Molecular Volume Deriving Van der Waals Equation
Thus far, the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, has been applied to a variety of different types of problems, ranging from reaction stoichiometry and empirical and molecular formula problems to determining the density and molar mass of a gas. However, the behavior of a gas is often non-ideal, meaning that the observed relationships between its pressure, volume, and temperature are not accurately described by the gas laws.
03:40Hess's Law
There are two ways to determine the amount of heat involved in a chemical change: measure it experimentally, or calculate it from other experimentally determined enthalpy changes. Some reactions are difficult, if not impossible, to investigate and make accurate measurements for experimentally. And even when a reaction is not hard to perform or measure, it is convenient to be able to determine the heat involved in a reaction without having to perform an experiment.
