Using China's major grain-producing areas designation as a quasi-natural experiment, this study employs DID and double machine learning to show the policy significantly reduces agricultural carbon emissions and pollution, with crop structur…

Wei Zhang, J.C. Connor

This special issue examines the economics of GHG mitigation in agriculture, focusing on incentive design, economic benefits, and behavioral responses of producers and consumers. Covering diverse countries and policy contexts, it shows that …

This paper argues that the surge in data center electricity demand can be turned into an opportunity by pairing AI growth with rapid energy storage deployment. Storage reduces peak grid imports, improves renewable matching, and enhances pow…

Patatoukas, Panos N.

This paper argues that ESG ratings do not adequately reflect corporate carbon emissions, and that ESG-focused investing may actually hinder portfolio decarbonization. It provides empirical evidence of a paradox where higher ESG scores do no…
