Energy efficiency upgrades have been gaining widespread attention across global channels as a cost-effective approach to addressing energy challenges. The cost-effectiveness of these projects is generally predicted using engineering estimates pre-implementation, often with little ex post...

This paper investigates the public health effects of mandatory and voluntary milk pasteurization adoptions in the United States. With generalized synthetic control methods (GSCM), we estimate the casual health impact of city pasteurization ordinances in 16 treated cities. Our results show the...
