Firm Responses to State Hiring Subsidies : Regression Discontinuity Evidence from a Tax Credit Formula
Hyman, Benjamin G.; Freedman, Matthew; Khanna, Shantanu; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
We examine firm responses to location-based hiring subsidies. We leverage institutional features of the California Competes Tax Credit (CCTC), a large-scale business incentive program that incorporates best practices from prior job creation policies. The CCTC award selection procedure combines...

A Geospatial Approach to Measuring Economic Activity
Yang, Anton; Ai, Jianwei; Arkolakis, Costas - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025
We introduce a new methodology to detect and measure economic activity using geospatial data and apply it to steel production, a major industrial pollution source worldwide. Combining plant output data with geospatial data, such as ambient air pollutants, nighttime lights, and temperature, we...

New Area- and Population-based Geographic Crosswalks for U.S. Counties and Congressional Districts, 1790–2020
Ferrara, Andreas; Testa, Patrick A.; Zhou, Liyang - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
In applied historical research, geographic units often differ in level of aggregation across datasets. One solution is to use crosswalks that associate factors located within one geographic unit to another, based on their relative areas. We develop an alternative approach based on relative...

Who Needs a Fracking Education? The Educational Response to Low-Skill Biased Technological Change
Cascio, Elizabeth U. - 2015
Over the past decade, a technological breakthrough - hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" - has fueled a boom in oil and … response to fracking, taking advantage of the timing of its widespread introduction and the spatial variation in shale oil and … gas reserves. We show that local labor demand shocks from fracking have been biased toward low-skilled labor and males …

The Local Economic and Welfare Consequences of Hydraulic Fracturing
Bartik, Alexander W. - 2017
Exploiting geological variation within shale deposits and timing in the initiation of hydraulic fracturing, this paper finds that allowing fracing leads to sharp increases in oil and gas recovery and improvements in a wide set of economic indicators. At the same time, estimated...

Internalizing Externalities : Disclosure Regulation for Hydraulic Fracturing, Drilling Activity and Water Quality
Bonetti, Pietro; Leuz, Christian; Michelon, Giovanna - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
The rise of shale gas and tight oil development has triggered a major debate about hydraulic fracturing (HF). In an effort to mitigate risks from HF, especially with respect to water quality, many U.S. states have introduced disclosure mandates for HF wells and fracturing fluids. We use this...
