A problem in economics research: Null results are considered less relevant and less publishable than statistically significant results, especially when they go against expectations. 📉📈

Last, we calculate the LATE of policy awareness using the email treatment as instrument.

People who become aware of the incentives through our email purchase more efficient vehicles (-31% fuel cons.)

We then run a RCT, sending to half sample an email with info on the presence of a vehicle tax discount in their canton.

Recepients of the email:
*Are more aware about incentives (+14 prc pts)
*Buy cars with lower fuel cons. (-10%) 4/8

How does this impact fuel consumption (l/100 km) of purchased vehicles?

We first run a DiD, comparing aware vs unaware, cantons w/ and w/out Bonus/Malus.

Overall policy effect is almost zero, but aware individuals buy cars w/ -14% fuel consumption.

In Switzerland many cantons have vehicle circulation tax discounts ("Bonus/Malus") for energy efficient cars.

We run a survey to see how many people are aware of these incentives. The answer is surprisingly low: only 42% of our sample!
