The expansion of the share of renewable energy in the portfolio mix of the electricity generation sector has accelerated the development and integration of large-scale battery storage facilities. We document charging and discharging patterns in the California market and show how battery activity...

Policies to incentivize the adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) usually offer little flexibility to adapt to heterogeneous benefits across locations. We evaluate the geographical misallocation of RES associated with the uniform nature of subsidies. We estimate the dispersion of marginal...

Unilateral climate policies are often accompanied by exemptions for energy-intensive and trade-exposed industrial firms to avoid leakage from regulated to unregulated jurisdictions. This paper investigates the impact of a large electricity tax exemption on production levels, employment, and...

Environmental policies are often accompanied by exemptions for energy-intensive and trade-exposed industrial firms to avoid leakage from regulated to unregulated jurisdictions. This paper investigates the impact of a large electricity tax exemption on production levels, employment, and input...

Intensive promotional marketing campaigns can be used to introduce products to consumers with the goal of increasing awareness, consideration, purchase, and word-of-mouth (WOM). In this paper, we study the role of campaign duration on solar photovoltaic adoption using a large-scale field...

Environmental policies are often accompanied by exemptions for energy-intensive and trade-exposed industrial firms to avoid leakage from regulated to unregulated jurisdictions. This paper investigates the impact of a large electricity tax exemption on production levels, employment, and input...

This paper develops a decision making empirical method to evaluate welfare programs accounting for heterogeneity of impacts. We find outcome predictive distributions for different subgroups of the population and use a characterization of second order stochastic dominance to give a policy...
