Weathering the Storm : Supply Chains and Climate Risk
Castro-Vincenzi, Juanma; Khanna, Gaurav; Morales, Nicolas; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
We characterize how firms structure supply chains under climate risk. Using new data on the universe of firm-to-firm transactions from an Indian state, we show that firms diversify sourcing locations, and suppliers exposed to climate risk charge lower prices. Our event-study analysis finds that...

What Determines Effectiveness of Renewable Energy Standards? General Equilibrium Analytical Model and Empirical Analysis
Fullerton, Don; Ta, Chi L. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
Our new analytical general equilibrium model is used to study effects of tightening state Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) on electricity price, CO2 emissions, fossil fuel electricity generation, and two kinds of renewable generation. We show how those outcomes depend on key state...

Regulating Conglomerates in China : Evidence from an Energy Conservation Program
Chen, Qiaoyi; Chen, Zhao; Liu, Zhikuo; Suárez Serrato, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
We study a prominent energy regulation affecting large Chinese manufacturers that are part of broader conglomerates. Using detailed firm-level data and difference-in-differences research designs, we show that regulated firms cut output and shifted production to unregulated firms in the same...

Economic Aspects of the Energy Transition
Heal, Geoffrey - 2020
I make three points relating to the transition from fossil fuels to non-carbon energy. One is that the economic cost of moving from fossil fuels to renewable energy in electricity generation is very low, and probably lower than many estimates of the economic benefits from this change. The second...

Selection on Welfare Gains : Experimental Evidence from Electricity Plan Choice
Ito, Koichiro; Ida, Takanori; Tanaka, Makoto - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
We study a problem in which policymakers need to screen self-selected individuals by unobserved heterogeneity in social welfare gains from a policy intervention. In our framework, the marginal treatment effects and marginal treatment responses arise as key statistics to characterize social...

Analytical General Equilibrium Effects of Energy Policy on Output and Factor Prices
Fullerton, Don - 2010
Using an analytical general equilibrium model, we find closed form solutions for the effect of energy policy on factor prices and output prices. We calibrate the model to the US economy, and we consider a tax on carbon. By looking at expenditure and income patterns across household groups, we...
