Building new energy infrastructure in emerging economies is a key pillar of global sustainable development, with the current project pipeline encompassing both foreign and domestic-led projects. But despite widespread need, energy projects are frequently criticized and opposed by citizens. Drawing on a conjoint experiment fielded in three major emerging economies, we examine the behavioral foundations of the political process underlying energy in…
Domestic Kindling, International Sparks
Domestic dissatisfaction with the state is widely believed to encourage international conflict. Although both folk IR and diversionary theories of international conflict invoke this relationship, the mechanisms through which domestic dissatisfaction (kindling) increases the likelihood of aggressive foreign policy (sparks), fanning the flames of international conflict, remains unspecified and untested. We develop theoretical mechanisms connecting …
High resolution prediction and explanation of groundwater depletion across India
Food production in much of the world relies on groundwater resources. In many regions, groundwater levels are declining due to a combination of anthropogenic extraction, localized meteorological and geological characteristics, and climate change. Groundwater in India is characteristic of this global trend, with an agricultural sector that is highly dependent on groundwater and increasingly threatened by extraction far in excess of recharge. The c…
Authoritarian energy transitions undermined? Environmental governance cycles in China’s power sector
Do special economic zones induce developmental spillovers? Evidence from India’s states
Trust in Government and Subsidy Reform
Pollution Lowers Support for China’s Regime
Using an eight-week-long original survey conducted day by day in Beijing in 2015, we leverage daily variation in air quality to estimate the causal effects of pollution on support for the Chinese regime. Our results show that pollution decreases satisfaction with both central and local governments and increases demand for oversight of government. Additionally, we time our survey to partially coincide with a period during which the government inte…
