| 英文摘要 | As the global economy transitions to greater reliance on renewable energy, it is crucial that this be a Just Transition in which new jobs are created to offset reduced opportunities in fossil fuels. This is critical to mitigate political opposition to the renewable energy transition. We use a survey experiment in Jharkhand, one of India's largest coal-producing states, to identify the characteristics that make alternative jobs attractive compared to coal jobs. We provide evidence of a coal penalty: respondents were 36.2 percentage points [95% CI: 33.1–39.5] less likely to choose coal jobs than alternatives. Additionally, respondents were much more likely to select high-paying jobs, while distance was not a strong deterrent to job selection. The findings indicate that coal jobs are unpopular on the margin, and suggest the viability of policies such as jobs training programs and relocation assistance that allow workers to take advantage of higher-skilled, higher-paid livelihoods. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd |
