Effects of Environmental and Land Use Regulation in the Oil a nd Gas Industry Using the Wyoming Checkerboard as aNatural Experiment: Retraction

摘要

The purpose of this note is to call attention to, and to take responsibility for, errors in a previously published paper (Mitch Kunce, Shelby Gerking, and William Morgan 2002). The main finding reported in that paper is that oil and natural gas wells are significantly more costly to drill on federal property than on private property. This note explains why the paper's results are being retracted from the literature.
