Relevant to some recent discussion on this website, here is a new paper comparing the emissions estimates that you would get from different estimation methods. It is a topic close to my heart, so here are a few links/explainers on why you might care.
First, this explainer on the basic idea of what it is and why it is relevant:
Second, a thread from yesterday with lots of branches showing why these questions are not just of academic interest. In short, policy and some markets want to know what happens to emissions if we add/remove X, but that it a harder question than it seems.
Finally, this related result we had in a paper last year showing that using marginal versus average emissions factors can sway your estimates of energy efficiency by a factor of 2 in either direction - that is a big difference!
