Externalities of SUVs

Abstract: A 7 page paper answering several questions regarding the supposed negative externalities of SUVs. All light trucks protect their passengers better than do light cars, but drivers of cars die at much higher rates than do drivers of SUVs. Several authors blame light trucks for being more dangerous, but their analyses appear to be inaccurate. Rather than penalizing SUV makers and drivers, the paper suggests that policy improvements focus on improving the safety factors of cars. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
