One of the primary considerations in policy debates related to energy development is the projected effect of resource extraction on local workers. These debates have become more common in recent years because technological progress has enabled the extraction of unconventional energy sources,...

There has been a widespread displacement of coal by natural gas as space heating and cooking technology in Turkey in the last two decades, triggered by the deployment of natural gas networks. In this paper, we examine the impact of this development on mortality among adults and the elderly. Our...

This paper estimates indirect benefits of improved air quality induced by hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking". The recent increase in natural gas supply led to displacement of coal-fired electricity by cleaner natural gas-fired generation. Using detailed spatial panel data comprising the near...

This paper presents evidence on the distributional effects of energy extraction by examining the recent U.S. energy boom. The boom increased local wage rates in almost every major occupational category. The increase occurred regardless of whether the occupation experienced a corresponding change...

This article examines how the shale oil revolution has shaped the evolution of U.S. crude oil and gasoline prices. It puts the evolution of shale oil production into historical perspective, highlights uncertainties about future shale oil production, and cautions against the view that the U.S....

Sollte die umstrittene Fracking-Methode in Deutschland für eine kommerzielle Nutzung erlaubt werden? Martin Faulstich und Mechthild Baron, Sachverständigenrat für Umweltfragen, kommen zu dem Ergebnis, dass Fracking energiepolitisch nicht notwendig ist und keinen maßgeblichen Beitrag zur...

This paper estimates the effect of the shale oil and gas boom in the United States on local economic outcomes. The main source of exogenous variation to be explored is the location of previously unexplored shale deposits. These have become technologically recoverable through the use of hydraulic...

Die Inhalte und Regelungen einer auf aktuelle und zukünftige räumliche Anforderungen ausgerichteten Regionalplanung erfordern eine Einbeziehung neuer Themen und eine stärkere strategische Ausrichtung. Dabei sind nicht nur landesplanerische Vorgaben rahmensetzend, es gilt auch, durch den...
