During the Olympic Games in 2008, a driving restriction based on vehicle license plate numbers was implemented in Beijing to mitigate air pollution and traffic congestion. Following the Games, the restriction was modified several times. This paper investigates the effects of two policy changes: a weakening policy change due to a shorter restricted time period, and a strengthening policy change due to a higher penalty for violators and the complementary car purchasing restriction. By employing a regression discontinuity design, I find that the weakening policy change led to more pollution in restricted areas only, while the strengthening policy change improved air quality in both restricted and non-restricted areas. One possible explanation for the second result is that driving in restricted areas and non-restricted areas are complements. Several robustness checks also confirm the results. I also provide suggestive evidence that driving restrictions increased the use of public transportation and alleviated traffic congestion.
