Citation:

Automobile Industry Retail Price Equivalent and Indirect Cost Multipliers.

Impact/Purpose:

To develop an improved methodology for estimating indirect costs of new environmental regulations on automobile manufacturers.

Description:

This report develops a modified multiplier, referred to as an indirect cost (IC) multiplier, which specifically evaluates the components of indirect costs that are likely to be affected by vehicle modifications associated with environmental regulation. A range of IC multipliers are developed that 1) account for differences in the technical complexity of required vehicle modifications and 2) adjust over time as new technologies become assimilated into the automotive production process.
