When Does Regulation Distort Costs? Lessons from Fuel Procurement in U.S. Electricity Generation (2015, unknown): “To estimate the impact of plant divestiture on coal procurement practices, I compare changes at facilities in close proximity that burned the same rank of coal in 1997, before divestitures began.16 This strategy is similar to the conditional DID estimator of Heckman et al. (1998), but matches on…”
