It was a very stimulating conference with amazing projects studying climate, trade and industrial policies! Thank you for including my JMP on climate agreements on the program!

New Paper Alert🚨 “The Winners and Losers of Climate Policies: A Sufficient Statistics Approach” with Jordan Rosenthal-Kay @jordanrk.bsky.social We study the spillovers of climate policies across countries through trade and energy markets #EconSky #ClimatePolicy #TradeLeakage #CBAM🧵1/10

I was sitting in NOAA's Boulder lab today when people got fired. Tears in the hallway. Security escort. They fired a great young scientist. Beyond the anti-science nonsense, letting smart & cheap new hires go is an incompetent way to cut costs. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/c...

Very interesting conference on the Political Economics of Climate change at @stanforddoerr.bsky.social Thank you for allowing to present my JMP on climate agreements

A new policy brief from Imperial College Business School's Patrick Bolton and Alissa M. Kleinnijenhuis shows that scaling up climate finance for developing countries is not only equitable, it also serves the economic interests of developed countries. #COP29 e-axes.org/research/cop...

I'm excited to share my JMP "The Optimal Design of Climate Agreements" where I study carbon taxation and trade tariffs in the presence of free-riding incentives and inequality. This is particularly related to the current discussions on trade policies and climate action #EconSky #COP29 #Climate 🧵1/10

After a chaotic bargaining process, the COP29 reached an agreement last week in Baku! Let’s analyze this result, its success for climate, and the failures of multilateralism through the lens of economic theory! A thread 🧵 on some salient points #climate #COP29Baku #Econsky 1/12

Super interesting JMP by @tbourany.bsky.social (@UChicago) studying the design of an "optimal climate club" in the presence of heterogeneous climate-change effects and free-riding incentives.

Hi, I'm Thomas Bourany, JMC, working at the intersection of macro, climate, and trade. In my JMP, I study how to design optimal climate agreements and carbon policy in the presence of free-riding and inequality. #EconJMP #EconSky #climate website: thomasbourany.github.io
