We leverage the timing of coalmine accidents to examine the effect of coal mining on air pollution. Safety regulations mandate that coal mining be suspended if a mine experiences an accident with 10 or more fatalities. We use a stacked difference-in-differences approach to compare counties with...

Integrating wind power incurs more incidences of transmission congestion and demands more generation fleet flexibility, which may impose a negative effect on how regional production is allocated among fossil fuel electricity generators (i.e., regional allocative efficiency). Exploring exogenous...

Previous literature has argued that the introduction of wind power significantly in creases grid congestion. This would potentially impose a negative effect on how regional production is allocated among generators (i.e., regional allocative efficiency). By com paring a U.S. regional electricity...
