Why? Federal mandates solved a coordination problem 🤝 — small towns lacked the leverage to control upstream pollution on their own. The CWA did it for them.
Two event-study plots of estimated CWA effects on water quality (in Panel A) and population (in Panel B) by year. Panel A plots changes in dissolved oxygen levels (mg/L) over time from 1963 through 1992, showing little change prior to 1972 and steady, positive increases afterward, with most post-1972 estimates statistically above zero. Panel B plots changes in log population by decade from 1930 through 2000, showing flat or negative coefficients before 1970 and modest positive, statistically significant increases after 1970. Both panels include 95% confidence intervals around point estimates and a vertical dashed red line marking the CWA’s passage in 1972.
💧 Clean water mandates are costly, but they can drive local growth! 🏘️
A new #JAERE study finds that the 1972 Clean Water Act tripled resident user fees 💸 — yet surface water quality improved 19% and populations grew 13–30% faster in municipalities under 10,000 people.

Business drivers🚕 (taxis, etc.) responded nearly 5× more strongly than private drivers, reflecting their greater price sensitivity💰 and flexible schedules🕐.
The effect was strongest during valley hours🌙 (11pm–7am), when electricity is cheapest.
Regression coefficients and confidence intervals for price subsidy impacts on different driver categories (all, business, private) across peak, flat, and valley periods.
⚡️ Charging price subsidies work — but not equally for everyone! 🚗💨
A new #JAERE study finds EV charging subsidies in Beijing boosted daily charging volumes by 25% — smarter targeting by driver type or time-of-day ⏰ could do even more.
