  32. In that case, we face a version of the well known age-cohort-time identification problem (see, e.g., Card and Lemieux 2001). Emissions of local air pollution are known to degrade substantially with vehicle age, but fuel economy is typically assumed to be E-7 stable. Even so, there could be a form of selection through which older vehicles are driven in different patterns or styles on average, which will manifest as an age effect in our on-road performance data. Regardless, we would like to be able to control for age effects, but age fixed effects are perfectly collinear with release year and time fixed effects. We cannot separately identify all effects without some additional restriction.

  46. One approach is to assume that release year effects are completely flat prior to 2006, so that a single release year dummy for that period is included. A full set of age effects can be estimated based on that period, and age and time effects can both be included while still identifying the remaining release year effects. Column (4) reports results from a specification that does that. Results are qualitatively similar, though the magnitude of our estimated performance gap does change somewhat, falling from 41% to 34% as compared to column (3), which has the same time period controls. As discussed below, we provide alternative approaches of addressing age effects in the appendix, which yield qualitatively similar results to the results reported here.

Thank you for pointing out the relationship between that paper and our current manuscript.

  52. R3.8 First, the simulation model considers a different mechanism leading to gaming that the one that has been considered in the theory section and demonstrated in the empirical section. To be 47 A recent literature (see Busse, Knittel, and Zettelmeyer 2013, Allcott and Wozny 2014, Sallee, West, and Fan 2016, Grigolon, Reynaert, and Verboven Forthcoming) has shown that buyers do take fuel consumption ratings into account when purchasing a vehicle. In a field experiment Allcott and Knittel (2017) show that treating buyers with detailed information about fuel consumption has no impact on their choice.

  64. The policy was announced in 2007 but did not start to bind until 2012. The policy schedule has not changed since 2007. There was a phase in between 2012 and 2015, but all automakers complied with the full standard by 2014. We do not think the increase in gaming between 2007 and 2015 is necessarily a response to a ratcheting of the benchmark (though they are certainly correlated in the time series). Instead, we think the gradual increase is due to automakers pushing their products forward with the goal of achieving compliance by the end of the period. In addition to the standard, there are several changes in national taxes after the announcement of the standard in 2007 but these are much more difficult to plot. We have added a more detailed discussion of the policy in Appendix A.2 to make all this clearer.

This rose to 75% in 2013 and 80% in 2014, and the standard was fully binding from 2015 onward. Every firm succeeded in reaching the full target by 2014.

  71. When producers exceed the standard they have to pay premiums for excess emissions. The premium is e5 per unit sold for the first excess g/km and increases to e95 per unit above 134 g/km. A manufacturer obtaining a sales weighted emission of 146 g/km, the average in 2007, would face a significant penalty of e1,280 per vehicle (against an average sales price of e22,250).
