Our identification strategy relies on both inter-state differences and time variations in gasoline taxes. Using the American Time Use Surveys for the years 2003–2015, we find that higher gasoline tax rates are related to less time spent in commuting. Furthermore, higher gasoline taxes are related to less commuting by private car, and more commuting by public transport and/or a physical mode of transport (walking or cycling). Our results highlight the importance of gasoline taxes in the consumption of energy for personal transport, as higher gasoline taxes are related to a greater use of “green” modes of transport, showing that fuel taxes are important for good environmental management. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S32-17R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 5.042 2019 ENERGY & FUELS 28 / 112 = 0.25 2019 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 14 / 123 = 0.114 2019 Q1 T1 ECONOMICS 13 / 371 = 0.035 2019 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 40 / 265 = 0.151 2019 Q1 T1 2.168 2019 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2019 Q1 Energy (miscellaneous) 2019 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-9437-4606 Molina, José Alberto Universidad de Zaragoza 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
