Fig. 4: The geographical distribution of sample counties.
From: Evaluating socio-economic and subjective well-being impacts of coal power phaseout in China
The yellow point represents treated counties that have plant retirement; the green point represents control counties that have coal power plants but without plant retirement; and blue point represents control adjacent counties. The bottom color reflects the extent of total retired capacity in provinces from 2014 to 2020. The deeper blue color in the base indicates higher retired capacity in the province. Blank areas represent provinces where no data are available. Data information on coal power retirement in some provinces, including Tibet and Taiwan, is unavailable. The distribution of all counties in full sample pools can be found in Supplementary Fig. 2. The base map was obtained from the standard map service of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the People’s Republic of China with the review number GS (2023) 2763.
