We study the optimal design of spatially differentiated subsidies for residential solar panels. We build a structural model of solar panel demand and electricity production across the United States and estimate the model by combining (1) remotely sensed data on residential solar panels, (2) power-plant-level data on hourly production and emissions, and (3) a state-of-the-art air pollution model. The current subsidies lead to severe spatial misallocation. National funding for subsidies under the current system exceeds the unconstrained optimum by over 70%. Our results suggest that there could be large welfare gains to redistributing funds toward other programs. Source link

But today, we are looking at the second console gaming outing for the series, with a…
