Evidence from Germany's stimulus	2020-08-19		.txt	text/plain	5431	297	64	Using a unique dataset containing the universe of price changes at fuel stations in Germany and France in June and July 2020, we employ a difference-in-differences strategy and find that pass-through is fast and substantial but remains incomplete for all fuel types. We estimate the pass-through rate for diesel and gasoline using a unique dataset containing the universe of price changes at fuel stations in Germany and France in June and July 2020 and employing a differencein-differences strategy. Our unique dataset allows us to observe all price changes for around 23, 000 fuel stations across Germany and France before and after the temporary VAT rate reduction. To estimate the average pass-through rate of the VAT reduction, we use a differencein-differences strategy, where we compare daily prices of the three main fuel types sold at fuel stations in Germany and France before and after the policy change.	./cache/cord-239527-69bxbhjh.txt	./txt/cord-239527-69bxbhjh.txt
