An Economic Analysis of a Change in an Excise Tax
Barron, John M.; Blanchard, Kelly Hunt; Umbeck, John R.
Journal of Economic Education, v35 n2 p184 Spr 2004
The authors present an example of the effect a change in the excise tax can have on retail gasoline prices. The findings provide support for standard economic theory, as well as provide a vehicle for illustrating some of the subtleties of the analysis, including the implicit assumptions regarding the implications for the buying and selling prices of middlemen. (Contains 11 endnotes.)
