2016
Endo, Takahiro | Tsuboyama, Yuki | Hara, Yoritoshi
Energy policy literature tends to emphasise the impact of taxation on energy preference. However, the present case concerning extremely low acceptance of diesel cars in Japan could not be explained by taxation.

The paper contributes to extending the existing understanding of the role of public policy by embracing the linguistic interactions complemented by visualisation.
