Valuing Excess Deaths Caused by Climate Change

Bressler, R. Daniel; Heal, Geoffrey - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

Valuing deaths caused by climate change in Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) is complex and controversial, having caused disagreement and acrimony in past high-profile settings. Furthermore, it is of first order consequence to the value of the social cost of carbon (SCC). Despite this, the underlying...

The Economics of Carbon Accounting and Carbon Offsets

Heal, Geoffrey - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

I provide a rigorous framework for accounting for corporate greenhouse gas emissions, based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. I show that only Scope 1 emissions are of interest from a national policy perspective: that emissions in Scopes 2 and 3 are duplicative, and that downstream Scope 3...

An Empirical Analysis of the Interconnection Queue

Johnston, Sarah; Liu, Yifei; Yang, Chenyu - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Generators applying to connect to the U.S. power grid go through an interconnection queue. Most wind and solar generators that begin the process do not complete it. Using new data, we find that a long queue increases the average waiting time, and high interconnection costs are a key factor in a...

Centralization and Organization Reproduction : Ethnic Innovation in R&D Centers and Satellite Locations

Kerr, William R. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

We study the relationship between firm centralization and organizational reproduction in satellite locations. For decentralized firms, the ethnic compositions of inventors in satellite locations mostly resemble their host cities, with little link to the inventor composition of their parent...
