Claims

C1strongest claim

We find clear evidence of price pass-through in Austria. Pooled Austrian SUP products are 13.01 index points more expensive than non-SUP controls within twelve months (DiD(12m); p<0.001) and 19.42 points over the full post-policy period (p<0.001).

C2weakest assumption

The parallel trends assumption required for causal identification in the fixed-effects event-study design: absent the policy, price trends for SUP and non-SUP products would have remained similar. This enters via the choice of control group and two-way fixed effects specification.

C3one line summary

Event study finds 13-19 index point price pass-through for Austrian SUP products versus controls, with insignificant effects in Germany.
