Replication Data for: Distributional Equity in the Employment and Wage Impacts of Energy Transitions

This package describes the replication files and procedures for Distributional Equity in the Employment and Wage Impacts of Energy Transitions, by Ben Gilbert, Ben Hoen, and Hannah Gagarin for the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists. Most of these programs must be run within a U.S. Census Federal Statistical Research Data Center by a researcher with access to the Longitudinal Employer Household Dynamics infrastructure files and with permissions to perform such analyses. These programs (1) build longitudinal worker-level datasets (person-year panels) for analysis using the 2014 and 2021 Snapshots of the LEHD, with earnings and employment histories and wind project exposure (installed capacities) at various distances from a worker’s residence, (2) run analyses on those datasets, and (3) produce the exhibits in the paper.
