Problem 2
Difference-in-Difference
In the beginning of 2005, Minnesota increased the sales tax on alcohol. Suppose you are
interested in studying the effect of the increase in sale taxes on alcohol on the number of car
accidents due to drinking in Minnesota. Unlike Minnesota, Wisconsin did not change the
sales tax on alcohol. You decide to use a Difference-in-difference (DID) Model. The numbers
of car accidents in each state at the end of 2004 and 2005 are as follows:
Year
Number of car
accidents in Minnesota
Number of car
accidents in Wisconsin
2004
2000
2500
2005
2500
3500
