Energy Company / Landowner Negotiation Data

Case study

Inside this project.

A short, scannable view of the question, the design, my role, the method I chose, and where to stop short of overclaiming.

Question

How do energy companies negotiate with landowners when acquiring land for hydraulic fracturing, and how do institutional settings shape bargaining power?

Data / design

Landowner negotiation records and policy-relevant source material coded for comparison.

My role

Contributor on data collection and coding-scheme development; the public supplement names me alongside several coauthors for those contributions.

Method / approach

Data collection and coding-scheme development used to make qualitative records comparable.

What it contributes

An interdisciplinary Nature Energy project analyzing how energy companies negotiate with landowners and how institutional contexts shape bargaining power.

Venue / status

Published, Nature Energy, 2024. Open paper
