After stabilizing around 2000-2005, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gas methane started to rise again, accelerating until a few years ago.
At least the increase seems to be slowing down since 2021.

On Extrapolation of Treatment Effects in Multiple-Cutoff Regression Discontinuity Designs
Regression discontinuity (RD) designs typically identify the treatment effect at a single cutoff point, which may not always be the primary interest. When and how, then, can we learn about treatment effects away from the cutoff? This paper addresses this question within a multiple-cutoff RD framework. We begin by examining the plausibility of the constant bias assumption proposed by Cattaneo, Keele, Titiunik, and Vazquez-Bare (2021) through the lens of rational decision-making behavior. We argu…

Satellite and Mobile Phone Data Reveal How Violence Affects Seasonal Migration in Afghanistan
Seasonal migration plays a critical role in stabilizing rural economies and sustaining the livelihoods of agricultural households. Violence and civil conflict have long been thought to disrupt these labor flows, but this hypothesis has historically been hard to test given the lack of reliable data on migration in conflict zones. Focusing on Afghanistan in the 8-year period prior to the Taliban's takeover in 2021, we first demonstrate how satellite imagery can be used to infer the timing of the …

Effect of Different Concentration and Application Method of Zinc on Yield of Chickpea (Pisum Sativum L.)
This study evaluated the impact of Zinc (Zn) supplementation on the growth, yield, and seed quality of chickpea (Pisum sativum L.) under the semi-arid conditions of Kerman, Iran, across two growing seasons (2021-2022). A randomized complete block design was used with six treatments, including varying concentrations of zinc sulphate applied via foliar spraying (0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%) or irrigation (4, 8, 16 kg/ha), each applied twice-one and two months after greening. Results from the first year rev…
