Excited to have just finished this pre-analysis plan with @larahankeln.bsky.social, @johannesbrehm.bsky.social, and Henri. It will be interesting to see which, if any, of our predictions will be borne out by the data. More on that in the new year. In the meanwhile, let me tell you about our theory.

The authors investigate Sweden’s carbon tax and VAT reform, finding it significantly increased low-carbon patents in the transport sector. The results indicate that carbon pricing – not general fuel price changes – primarily drives the innovation response.
