This looks a must read for those interested in triple differences (DDD) designs. It shows that the standard way many estimate DDD is wrong. It shows why and gives you tools that work with covariates and staggered adoption. Bonus: free R package. arxiv.org/abs/2505.09942

Otro beneficio (más) de la competencia: incentiva la adopción de nuevas tecnologías. La entrada de VTC (Uber/Cabify) en las ciudades españolas supuso un aumento causal del 30% en la compra de vehículos con tecnologías limpias (híbridos y/o eléctricos) por parte de los taxistas.

Conclusion: 🚖➡️♻️ Market competition causally drives green vehicle adoption! We show this conclusion is robust to a *gazillions* of robustness checks (see Appendix C) Estimates on the implications in terms of CO2 are provided in Section 4.4 (see also pic below)

We rule out alternative explanations for the "market competition" effect: ❌ Not due to shifts in vehicle purchase timing ❌ Not due to used vehicle purchases ❌ Not driven by behavioral biases ❌Not driven by marketing strategies appealing to eco-conscious consumers

Supporting evidence 🔍 (a) Stronger effect in cities with higher competition (b) No effect in sectors not affected by ride-hailing (e.g. driving schools, rental cars) (c) No effect on households (d) Taxi drivers facing less competition were less likely to adopt EVs

Data 📊 We use data on all vehicle purchases by taxi drivers in Spain from Dec 2014 to Feb 2020 Main finding🚗 In metro areas where ride-hailing platforms entered, the average monthly purchase of green vehicles increased by ~30%! (Madrid and BCN were EXCLUDED due to LEZ)

We study the impact of ride-hailing platform entry (UBER and Cabify) in Spain... ...on taxi drivers' adoption of electric vehicles Ideal context because ✅ Taxis hold local monopolies ✅ Transport is a major emissions source ✅ Gas tax promotes EV adoption

Main Research Question ⁉️ Can market competition accelerate the adoption of cleaner technologies among suppliers? .... lack of incentives to adopt green tech may reduce the effectiveness of environmental policies
