摘要

Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among teens age 15 to 19 in the U.S.Three stage programs that grant teens increasing driving privileges over time, GDL systems attemptto strike a compromise between allowing teens to gain the experience needed to attain good drivingskills, while limiting teen driving in high risk contexts, such as carrying young passengers and drivingat night. Using a panel data set of teen driver involved fatal vehicle crashes among 16 to 17 year olddrivers in commuting zones straddling state borders, I estimate the effect of GDL programs andtheir components on teen driver and teen driver error related fatal crash rates using a state borderpolicy discontinuity design. Additionally, I analyze the impacts on crash characteristics most likelyassociated with teen driving mistakes, such as the presence of young occupants, occurring at night,or involving alcohol. The method used takes into account local heterogeneities in factors affectingaccident rates, providing more credible identification than previous studies. My findings indicatemuch larger GDL effects than in the extant literature. I find that the strongest GDL programs, asrated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, reduce teen driving related fatal crash rates by25 to 34 percent and teen driving error related fatal crash rates by 34 to 45 percent. The mosteffective components of GDL programs were early nighttime driving curfews beginning between6pm to 10pm. Passenger restrictions had statistically significant effects only when controlling for thenumber of licensed teens on the road. For example, the zero to one passenger limit reducedquarterly county-level teen driver involved fatal crash rates per 100,000 by -6.4 points per quarter,relative to a mean rate of 9.5 in state-periods without restrictions. These passenger limits were alsohighly effective at reducing nighttime crashes among teens, with a reduction in these crash rates of -5.9 per 100,000. Finally, the extended practice period during which newly licensed teens are onlyallowed to drive under adult supervision were effective in reducing fatal crashes per unit population.However, when controlling for the share of licensed teen drivers, practice periods were onlyimportant for nighttime crashes occurring after 9pm.
