@jeanas I won’t leak the author, but my guess is that you can pick any #econometrics paper studying policy impact on CO2 emissions and you will find the same. Pick for example that one where you’ll find the following equation in the Supplementary Information: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adl6547
Without logarithms the equation would make sense, with logarithms it’s just bullshit.
The author also pointed out that Bayer and Aklin (2020, PNAS) use the same methodology.
