Shaking up the vote: The electoral impact of induced earthquakes
Scholars of environmental politics and voting often use natural disasters as a proxy for environmental shocks. However, the simultaneously human and natural origins of these disasters muddle their connection to political outcomes. We look at an overtly human-caused disaster − earthquakes induced by gas drilling in the Netherlands − to see whether it correlates with pro-environment voting. Combining polling station-level voting data with precisely…
Measuring time preferences in large surveys
Time preferences may explain public opinion about a wide range of long-term policy problems with costs and benefits realized in the distant future. However, mass publics may discount these costs and benefits because they are later or because they are more uncertain. Standard methods to elicit individual-level time preferences tend to conflate risk and time attitudes and are susceptible to social desirability bias. A potential solution relies on a…
Designing the Optimal International Climate Agreement with Variability in Commitments
We analyze the design of an international climate agreement. In particular, we consider two goals of such an agreement: overcoming free-rider problems and adjusting for differences in mitigation costs between countries. Previous work suggests that it is difficult to achieve both of these goals at once under asymmetric information because countries free ride by exaggerating their abatement costs. We argue that independent information collection (i…
