The Causal Effects of Climate Investment Subsidies: Regression Discontinuity Evidence from Swedish Firms

Discussant: Maximilian Amberg (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK))

This paper provides new empirical evidence on the firm-level economic impacts of a Swedish grant program that subsidizes firms’ investments in greenhouse gas emissions-reducing projects. We exploit a discontinuity in the assignment mechanism in the program to estimate the causal effects of climate investment subsidies on investment additionality and firm growth. The analysis combines highly-detailed data on the details of each application with detailed firm-level balance sheet data. Our estimates suggest that the grant scheme led to increases in investment, turnover and the number of employees. The results indicate a substantial crowding-in effect on investment.
