本文研究2015年福斯柴油廢氣造假醜聞對臺灣汽車市場之影響。利用差異中差異實證策略與新車登記資料，我們發現在自用小客車市場，福斯汽車之季銷售下降超過20%，但一年後銷量很快就回復。在營業用小客車市場，並未對該醜聞產生反應。在群體聲譽方面，我們並未發現對其他德國汽車品牌之外溢效果，顯示在臺灣對污染之擔憂並未延伸至其他同國家之品牌。

We investigate the effects of 2015 Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal in the Taiwanese new car market. Using a difference-in-differences empirical strategy and administrative data on new car registrations, we find that quarterly sales of Volkswagen fell by more than 20% in self-use market. But sales of Volkswagen quickly recovered after one year. In B2B market, business buyers did not respond to the emissions scandal. For collective reputation, we do not find evidence of spillovers to other German brands, indicating that environmental concerns in Taiwan did not extend to other brands within the same country.
