subsidies for electric vehicles. This paper finds that heat pumps are an important exception. Using newly available U ….S. nationally representative data, the paper finds that there is remarkably little correlation between heat pump adoption and … household income. Nationwide, 15% of U.S. households have a heat pump as their primary heating equipment, and adoption levels …

. Air conditioning (AC) can greatly reduce this heat exposure. We develop a simple model of air conditioning adoption by … industry-level output, we present aggregation results highlighting how the industry's output is insulated from the heat. Our … empirical analysis of the impacts of heat on total factor productivity in U.S manufacturing yields findings broadly consistent …

We examine the impact of electricity sector restructuring on the operating efficiency of coal-fired power plants in India. Between 1995 and 2009, 85 percent of coal-based generation capacity owned by state governments was unbundled from vertically integrated State Electricity Boards into state...

The most cost-effective policies for achieving CO2 abatement (e.g., carbon taxes) fail to get off the ground politically because of unacceptable distributional consequences. This paper explores CO2 abatement policies designed to address distributional concerns. Using an intertemporal numerical...

We assess the CO<sub>2</sub> fertilization effect on US agriculture using spatially-varying CO<sub>2</sub> data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite covering the majority of US cropland under actual growing conditions. This study complements the many CO<sub>2</sub> enrichment experiments that have found...

We examine the real effects of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) on electric power plants in the United States. Starting in 2010, the GHGRP requires both the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions by facilities emitting more than 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year to the...
