The path towards decarbonization promises many societal benefits such as reduced
greenhouse gas emissions and new technological innovation. The adverse effects of …

This study uses the opening of the new Circle Line (CCL) in Singapore as a natural
experiment to test the effects of urban rail transit networks on non-landed private housing …

Technological innovations in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have enabled
tremendous amounts of natural gas to be extracted profitably from underground shale …

In many countries, wind turbines are constructed as part of a strategy to reduce dependence
on fossil fuels. In this paper, we measure the external effect of wind turbines on the …

Many studies find that areas more dependent on natural resources grow more slowly–a
relationship known as the resource curse. For counties in the south-central US, I find little …

Profitable extraction of previously inaccessible shale energy reserves has led to the rapid
expansion of shale exploration across the United States. We present one of the first …

Climate change, the imbalance between China's domestic energy supply and demand, and
the success of the shale gas revolution in the United States have been the main motivators …

Little is known about how firms learn to use new technologies. Using novel data on inputs,
profits, and information sets, I study how oil companies learned to use hydraulic fracturing …

We study farm real estate values in the Barnett shale (Texas) and the northeastern part of
the Marcellus shale (Pennsylvania and New York). We find that shale gas development …

We use quasi-experimental variation due to the introduction of fracking to estimate the short-
run impact of a decrease in natural gas prices on marginal air pollution emissions from …
