49 U.S. states are observed annually from 2005 to 2023 in this balanced panel for reproducing heterogeneity-robust difference-in-differences estimates. The archive contains raw data from the U.S. EIA, BEA, and BLS, processed panel data, and replication code. Rajat Kanti Paul uploaded this complete replication archive to Harvard Dataverse in June 2026.
Use Cases
- Reproducing heterogeneity-robust difference-in-differences estimates based on the Callaway–Sant'Anna method described.
- Analyzing state-level fuel-specific CO2 emissions trends based on the EIA SEDS data.
- Calculating the cost per tonne of CO2 abated based on the program data and economic covariates.
- Conducting event-study and placebo parallel-trends diagnostics based on the provided panel data.
- Examining the impact of RGGI auction revenue reinvestment based on the auxiliary analyses included.
Strengths
- Enables full reproduction of every table, figure, and statistical result in the associated paper.
- Contains raw data from authoritative sources like the U.S. EIA, BEA, and BLS spanning from 1960 to 2023.
- Includes processed panel data for 49 states observed annually from 2005 to 2023.
- Provides auxiliary data for context, including EU Emissions Trading System power and aviation sector data.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Excludes California due to its separate cap-and-trade program, limiting national coverage.
