This study evaluates the effects of taxation policies on promoting fuel-efficient vehicle ownership and use. Ownership is described as choice of vehicle type based on a paired combination logit (PCL) model and use is represented by a copula-based multivariate survival (CMS) model that includes both holding duration and annual distance traveled. To estimate the integrated model, the PCL model is first estimated and then incorporated into the CMS model. Policy effects are evaluated by calculating changes in CO2 emissions under different taxation policies. An empirical analysis was conducted of data from a questionnaire survey in the Chugoku region of Japan in 2006. Through the simulation analysis of vehicle-related taxes, it is found that increasing the fuel tax is the most effective means of reducing CO2 emissions, followed by the auto tax and weight tax collected at vehicle inspections. Moreover, it is further observed that, contrary to our expectation, increasing the acquisition tax actually leads to an increase in CO2 emissions.
