Deep learning projects jurisdiction of new and proposed Clean Water Act regulation

Greenhill, Simon; Walker, Brant J.; Shapiro, Joseph S. - 2026

Projecting the effects of proposed policy reforms is challenging because no outcome data exist for regulations that governments have not yet implemented. We propose an ex ante deep learning framework that can project effects of proposed reforms by mapping outcomes observed under past regulations...

Elections and water pollution cleanup in the Ganges River in India

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Yoo, Seung-Jick - 2026

We analyze the role of regular elections in ensuring water pollution cleanup in the Ganges river in a north Indian city. Our central result is that, in the absence of elections, politicians have no incentive to undertake pollution cleanup, leading to poor environmental outcomes. In contrast,...
