πŸ’‘A rural electrification push that ended up protecting forests?🌳 New research in #JAERE finds that rural electrification in Brazil slowed deforestation by nudging farmers πŸ‘¨β€πŸŒΎ away from land-intensive cattle grazing πŸ„ and into more land-efficient cropping🌾 πŸ“Š #JaereTableFriday πŸ“ˆ #Econsky

A 10 percentage point increase in electrification reduces the pasture share of farmland by 3.7pp πŸ„β¬‡οΈ, modestly increases cropland by 1.5pp πŸŒΎβ¬†οΈ, and boosts native vegetation within farms by 3.9pp πŸŒ³β¬†οΈ β€” the land-sparing pattern predicted by the authors' credit-constraint model.

And just like that, #WCERE2026 has come to an end! πŸŒπŸŽ‰ πŸ“Έ A wonderful week of research and connection β€” thank you to everyone who shared their photos! 🌲 See you in Portland, Oregon, June 9–11, 2027 for the #AERE Summer Conference! 😊 πŸ“ˆ #EconSky

🚌⚑ Do riders actually care whether their bus is electric? New research in #JAERE ran three studies during Singapore's real-world e-bus rollout and found a resounding yes β€” on all three margins: satisfaction, willingness to pay, and ridership. πŸ“Š #JaereFigureFriday πŸ“ˆ #EconSky

πŸ“Š Figure 5B tells the story visually: ridership on the highly electrified Line 944 diverges markedly from always-diesel lines after April 2020, voters-with-feet style.

🌳 Can electing younger politicians actually save the Amazon? New research in #JAERE says YES, and the numbers are striking! The authors show that electing a mayor under ~35 years old reduces deforestation🌱 by 56% β€” with no negative hit to local income πŸ’° πŸ“Š #JaereFigureFriday πŸ“ˆ #Econsky
