The Market and Climate Implications of U.S. LNG Exports
Stock, James H.; Zaragoza-Watkins, Matthew - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
From 2015 to 2023, the United States transformed from a net importer of natural gas to the world's largest liquified natural gas (LNG) exporter. We find that this surge in LNG exports has reconnected U.S. gas prices to world market prices, after a hiatus of "shut-in" fracked gas. We estimate...

The Economic Determinants of Heat Pump Adoption
Davis, Lucas W. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
One concern with subsidies for low-carbon technologies is that they tend to go predominantly to high-income households. Previous research has shown, for example, that the top income quintile receives 60% of subsidies for rooftop solar and 90% of subsidies for electric vehicles. This paper finds...

The Role of External Economies in U.S. Manufacturing
Caballero, Ricardo J. - 1989
This paper develops a method for joint estimation of both the degree of internal returns to scale and the extent of external economies. We apply the method in estimating returns to scale indexes for U.S. manufacturing industries at the two-digit level. Overall, we find that only three of the...
