1. Quantifying policy effects on greenhouse gas emissions from croplands
Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture are an important driver of global climate change. There are many national policies and regulations worldwide to mitigate these emissions but in many cases, we know little about their effectiveness. This thesis aims at filling this important knowledge gap.
Summary: Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture are an important driver of global climate change. There are many policies and regulations worldwide to mitigate these emissions but in many cases, we know little about their effectiveness. This thesis aims at filling this important knowledge gap.
Methods: This is a quantitative study. The data will be provided. Basic knowledge about regression techniques is required. Knowledge in the Regression Discontinuity Approach, Difference-in Difference, and causal inference in general is an appreciated plus. The same applies for GIS applications.
Expected Results: Identification and discussion of policy effects on greenhouse gas emissions from croplands
Level: Master Thesis
