The Effects of Post-Katrina Gasoline Price Regulations: The Contrast between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia

Canadian Public Policy, 2017, vol. 43, issue 1, 77-84

Abstract: I test for the effects on retail gasoline prices of a price regulation introduced in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in July 2006. Using a difference-in-differences empirical model, I find that prices decreased (relative to the control group) only in New Brunswick after the regulation's introduction. Further analysis suggests that prices could also have decreased in Nova Scotia if the regulation in that province had been better designed.
