Energy Tax Pass-Through in German Industry University of Mannheim, Germany This paper estimates the impact of electricity taxes on product prices in the German manufacturing sector using product-level data on revenues and quantities from the manufacturing census. To identify causal effects, I leverage a 2012 reform of tax exemption rules, which reduced average energy prices by 15-20% for newly exempted firms relative to matched controls. Difference-in-differences estimates show that output prices among newly exempted firms dropped by approximately 3%, conditional on six-digit product-year fixed effects. Moreover, I find no effect of tax exemptions on material factor shares, which, under plausible assumptions, reflect changes in firms’ markups. Thus, my findings are consistent with complete cost pass-through. | |
