I study how competition affects investment in power plants.

We review the recent advances in the difference-in-difference literature and offer practical advice for applied researchers.

We show that rooftop solar can reduce energy insecurity among low-to-moderate income households, using a unique matched survey research design.

I document a downward trend in utilities’ realized return on investment over the last two decades, from a high of 12.6% in 2002 to 6.1% in 2020, on average. The decline is driven by a stagnation in revenue coupled with a nearly two-fold increase in investment.

We study actions the Trump Administration took to reverse existing environmental policy.
