Abstract
In the face of rapid expansion of China's automobile ownership, serious air pollution, increasing energy consumption, method and policy that promote energy conservation and emission reduction of automobiles have become widespread concerns at present. In this context, this study introduces the reform of vehicle purchase tax, vehicle and vessel tax, and fuel tax in China, and empirically compares the energy saving and emission reduction effects of the three taxes. The results show that the emission reduction effect of the purchase tax reduction is more significant. Moreover, the effect of the purchase tax reduction on reducing air pollutant emissions shows a "U" shaped dynamic change as the pollution level in cities increases and then decreases.
