New publication: Designing Carbon Pricing Policies Across the Globe with Robert Schmidt and @moritzdrupp.bsky.social in Environmental and Resource Economics! We present the largest international expert survey on carbon pricing design (400+ participants, ~40 countries). Some highlights.

Working paper alert! I generalize discounted utilitarianism to endogenous population settings and avoid most drawbacks of existing welfare criteria. Read more here: www.ifo.de/DocDL/cesifo.... Comments are welcome!

The poor are less able to invest in climate. Now out: first comprehensive analysis of how the economics of #Inequality & the #Environment are interrelated. Co-author Ulrike Kornek (PIK, #UniKiel): “Implications for #climate policy." Story, link to paper: www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...
Germany's eco-tax reform led to sizable reductions not only in carbon emissions but also in harmful local air pollutants. Benefits accrued disproportionately to lower-income and more polluted areas. Piero Basaglia, Sophie Behr, @moritzdrupp.bsky.social cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

How much does carbon pollution really cost society? In the latest Science Sessions episode, Frances Moore discusses new research suggesting the social cost of carbon is higher than previously estimated. Listen now: www.pnas.org/post/podcast...
Check out this great paper by @felixschaumann.bsky.social with @edualastrue.bsky.social out now in @pnas.org that integrates climate science with climate economics to study the social cost of carbon implications of reduced AMOC weakening. Super impressive work for a first PhD chapter👇
🚨 First PhD paper in @pnas.org 🥳 🌊 @edualastrue.bsky.social and I looked at how much less CO2 will be taken up by the ocean if the #AMOC weakens - and how this reduced ocean carbon uptake affects the social cost of CO2 emissions. 📝 Read the paper here: doi.org/10.1073/pnas... 🧵 A thread [1/11]
"Intergenerational Discounting and Inequality" (joint with @pgpiacquadio.bsky.social) is now out as a working paper! We study all theories of justice that disentangle intergenerational discounting and intergenerational inequality, and I am amazed by the results! www.cesifo.org/en/publicati...
Intergenerational Discounting and Inequality
We study all theories of justice that disentangle ethical views on intergenerational discounting and intergenerational inequality. Each “modular” social welfare function is uniquely identified by a ti...

Check out this thread by @climatefran.bsky.social on our new paper in @pnas.org out today providing most comprehensive (i.e. still incomplete) evidence on the social cost of CO2 (SCC), with a meta-analysis + expert survey & a combination of elements of both to generate a “synthetic SCC” (mean≈$280)👇
Excited to announce a new @pnas.org publication on the Social Cost of Carbon. We integrate evidence from the literature and expert survey to provide an SCC distribution inclusive of both parametric and structural uncertainties. Our mean 2020 value is $283 per ton CO2 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Many thanks to @aeajournals.bsky.social for highlighting our research providing a first systematic account of expert recommendations on carbon prices (globally & across almost 40 countries), and to all respondents for lending us their time & expertise 🙏 @frikknesje.bsky.social @cenunihh.bsky.social
There is a strong consensus among subject-matter experts that a uniform global carbon price should be higher than the existing global average, say researchers at University of Hamburg, University of Copenhagen, and FernUniversität in Hagen. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/cha...
New @aeajournals.bsky.social paper with @moritzdrupp.bsky.social & Robert Schmidt studies carbon price recommendations by >400 experts. We find a clear consensus on higher carbon prices, which help meet climate goals & reduce reliance on autocrats. See what experts can(not) agree on. #EconSky
