Pass-Through of Alternative Fuel Policy Incentives: Evidence from Diesel and Biodiesel Markets, the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard, and Low Carbon Fuel Standards in California and Oregon (with Aaron Smith and Julie Wotcover)

We examine whether upstream sellers pass through alternative fuel policy compliance costs and incentives to downstream buyers.

We review a decade of public compliance data from LCFS programs in California, Oregon, and British Columbia (under review).

We interact a distribution of demand for LCFS credits under business-as-usual uncertainty with projected LCFS credit supply curves.

We overview federally supported community hubs as a policy option to support local development efforts in regions in transition.
