- Are utilities a public good, by definition?arrow_forwardRead the following excerpt: 'In the UK, fuel duty is levied per unit of fuel purchased and is included in the price paid for petrol, diesel and other fuels used in vehicles or for heating. The rate depends on the type of fuel: the headline rate on standard petrol and diesel has been reduced from 57.95 pence to 52.95 pence per litre.' Suppose that, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the UK government is considering raising fuel duty on standard petrol and diesel. Suppose that the government intends to earmark the additional fuel tax revenue, not for subsidising less carbon-intensive energy production (e.g., wind energy) but for supporting higher education (e.g., reduction in university fees). Are there additional theoretical implications in terms of efficiency in resource allocation, due to the intended use of the revenue?
