Subsidies for clean cookstoves can abate carbon dioxide at only $7 per ton of CO2. We account for issues like imperfect additionality, stove breakage rates, non-usage or low usage by some buyers, and others. Read my article with @joshtdean.bsky.social in Climate Change Economics: lnkd.in/gw8hr9Mu
Vil du lese en tekst om Elon Musk som _ikke_ har berøringsanganst for det faktum at han er en høyreekstremist? Da har du flaks, for jeg har skrevet den! Les, lik, del og bekjemp fascismen!

Writing a paper introduction is more art than science, but a good formula gets you most of the way there. Today's blog post: a paragraph-by-paragraph template that is used pretty commonly, plus the mistakes I see most often. 🧵 #EconSky deryugina.com/a-two-for-on...

I dag skriver jeg om skatt. Og om det farlige narrativet om at skatt er skadelig, som gjennomsyrer høyresiden og nå også dessverre Arbeiderpartiet. Skatt er forutsetningen for at vi skal ha et samfunn. www.dagsavisen.no/kommentar/om...

Er Stad skipstunnel den endelige dødsdommen over samfunnsøkonomiske analyser som beslutningsgrunnlag, eller er det fortsatt håp? Har skrevet kronikk i @dagensnaeringsliv.bsky.social med kolleger ved TØI, HiM og SINTEF. www.dn.no/innlegg/samf...
Hvordan få tallene til å telle
Samfunnsøkonomiske analyser kan fortsatt få en sentral plass når samferdselspengene skal fordeles. Men da må både analytikerne og politikerne bidra.

I dag skriver jeg om pride-debatten i Dagsavisen. Høyresida påstår at pride har blitt kuppet av «radikal kjønnsteori». Det er snarere høyresida som har blitt kuppet av monomane transfober. www.dagsavisen.no/kommentar/de...
De transkjønnede trenger oss nå
En dag vil «transdebatten» fremstå like upassende og meningløs som å ha en «homofilidebatt». Men før den tid trenger transpersoner vår solidaritet og støtte.

This paper finds that economists whose job market papers report (marginally) statistically significant results are more likely to secure academic jobs. Hiring committees prefer statistical significance; this creates incentives for researchers to p-hack.
For years I've tracked billionaire excess. Each year I show students a chart that blows their minds. This year I had to redraw it for a trillionaire: Elon Musk, $1.32T. Depressing that we're here. Silver lining: couldn't have happened to a less deserving person, proof that wealth ≠ merit.

During the spring shoulder season, when demand is lower, a larger amount of potential solar generation is curtailed in California (darker yellow at top). While some of this is due to the system operator's instructions, mostly it's because of negative prices. More batteries could soak this up.
I really liked Jeff's thread, but as one of the early originators of the carbon footprint concept, I want to address this misconception because I've heard it often.
Jeff Sharlet@jeffsharlet.bsky.social · 2mo agoI just learned that the term "carbon footprint" was developed by BP to offload responsibility for climate change onto individuals. Something like that's happening in higher ed with AI. Institutions capitulate or dodge; students are submitting; & they believe it's their individual failing. 7/
#AcademicSky · #EduSky “In classrooms today, the technopoly is thriving. Universities are being retrofitted as fulfillment centers of cognitive convenience. Students aren’t being taught to think more deeply but to prompt more effectively. We are exporting the very labor of teaching and learning.”
