Project Description

Summary: These files contain the programs and data necessary to replicate the analyses in the paper “Pass-through of Electric Vehicle Subsidies: A Global Analysis”. Some of the data is proprietary for which we provide instructions on how the data can be obtained. The paper investigates the pass-through of electric vehicle (EV) subsidies in thirteen countries that account for 95% of global EV sales from 2013 to 2020. Our results indicate high pass-through rates of 70-80% on average. Pass-through is highest for global firms that sell the same EV models across multiple countries, consistent with uniform pricing by these firms, as well as avoidance of third-party arbitrage. We find suggestive evidence that pass-through is higher for tax incentives than for direct consumer subsidies.
