Limitations and reproducibility

Fully reproducible from public EIA and FRED downloads with Node.js 20 and no packages.: source-manifest.json lists every retrieved file with URL and SHA-256. The four scripts regenerate every table and this payload.

  • Difference-in-differences estimates capture all Washington-specific factors, not only the Climate Commitment Act; the Clean Fuel Standard (under 1 cent per gallon by Ecology's estimate), refinery outages, and other state-specific shocks are included.
  • Placebo tests show single-year pre-policy deviations of up to about 20 cents per gallon, so any one year's estimate is approximate; HAC standard errors understate that uncertainty.
  • EIA publishes no weekly Oregon or Idaho series; Oregon, the closest supply-chain comparison, is absent. Idaho is represented only within PADD 4.
  • Prices are statewide averages and do not show regional variation within Washington.
  • Six of fifteen auction prices come from secondary reports citing Ecology results.
  • Cost estimates use taxed on-road gallons only and assume E10 gasoline; diesel estimates are upper bounds.
  • Descriptive comparisons do not by themselves establish causation; the quarterly link to auction prices is supporting, not conclusive, evidence.
