Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) are very popular in many countries around the world, including Brazil. The Brazilian State of Rio de Janeiro has the largest NGV fleet of the country. Using a panel database extending for 15 years, we evaluate the impact of the NGV fleet penetration growth in Rio de Janeiro on the retailers’s prices and margins of gasoline and sugarcane ethanol. By correcting for endogeneity, we are able to identify a negative impact of the former variables on the last ones. The result is generally robust to different specifications of our model and instrument, as well as to data adjustment. We also calculate that the NGV fleet growth has benefited the environment through lower pollutant emissions. Hence, the increase in the NGV fleet is benefitial to society not only through less polution, but also by lowering the prices of gasoline and ethanol, therefore benefiting its consumers. / Esta dissertação de mestrado consiste em um artigo empírico no campo da Microeconomia. Veículos movido a gás natural são populares em diversos países do mundo, incluindo o Brasil. O estado brasileiro do Rio de Janeiro tem a maior frota desse tipo de veículos no Brasil. Usando 15 anos de dados em painel, nós avaliamos o impacto do crescimento da penetração dos veículos movidos a gás natural no Rio de Janeiro sobre os preços e margens da gasolina e do etanol de cana-de-açúcar nos postos de gasolina fluminenses. Ao corrigir pela endogeneidade, identificamos um impacto negativo da primeira variável nas posteriores. Tal resultado é geralmente robusto a diferentes especificações do nosso modelo e instrumento, além de a ajustes nos dados. Além disso, calculamos que o crescimento da frota de veículos movidos a gás natural foi benéfico para o meio-ambiente por meio de menores emissões de poluentes. Assim, um aumento da frota de veículos movidos a gás natural beneficiou a sociedade não apenas através de uma menor poluição, mas também por diminuir o preço da gasolina e etanol, beneficiando, consequentemente, seus consumidores.
