Surveying the literature that links macroeconomics and climate change through: loss and damage, mitigation and the energy transition, and adaptation, from Adrien Bilal and James H. Stock https://www.nber.org/papers/w33567

Proposing an analytic representation of sequence-space Jacobians in heterogeneous agent models in continuous time, which leads to a threefold speed gain, from Adrien Bilal and Shlok Goyal https://www.nber.org/papers/w33525

🌎Does unilateral decarbonization pay for itself? In our new working paper, @adrienbilal.bsky.social and I analyze whether large economies like the U.S. and E.U. can justify broad decarbonization policies based purely on domestic economic benefits. WP: nber.org/papers/w3336... #econsky
