The tragic landslide in Blatten gives me the excuse to tell you the story of how we found out Ice Ages existed. It's a cool story and the most important bit is rather similar to what's happening now.

Climate policy diffusion in action! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

NEW: Fossil fuel firms like Chevron and Exxon owe the world trillions of dollars. Today in @nature.com, @jsmankin.bsky.social and I show economic losses from rising heat waves directly traceable to these firms, providing scientific support for climate accountability. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great news! A great and somewhat unique resource for teaching causal inference

New Paper alert! We propose a novel framework for organizing ex ante multi-criteria assessments of climate policy pathways at the science-policy interface, usable e.g. by formal advisory bodies such as @expertenratklima.bsky.social, @thecccuk.bsky.social ky.social and @airresources.bsky.social. 1/

Introducing to Bluesky friends, LSE's Global School of Sustainability, @gsos-lse.bsky.social. I have the privilege of being Acting Dean until our Inaugural Dean joins. Social science-led transformation for a sustainable world

This paper shows that every dollar spent on improving hurricane forecasts pays for itself many times over in reduced damages: www.nber.org/papers/w32548 Cutting funding for weather forecasting does not save money - it costs billions in addition to putting lives at risk

📣To all PhD students in environmental econ: apply to our (free!) E4C summer school on "Environmental Data Collection and Analysis for the Social Sciences" co-organized by @crestumr.bsky.social When? 2-6 June 2025 Where? Palaiseau near Paris Info: www.ip-paris.fr/en/news/e4c-... Apply by 25 Apr!

We streamlined six new DID-like estimators and created this tutorial for implementation in R. yiqingxu.org/packages/fec... Hope you no longer need to spend months figuring out what these estimators are and how to use them.

We just published a map of climate policy research. It has lots of useful resources, including a new typology of instrument types and a literature hub where you can search for studies by sector and instrument: climateliterature.org#/project/pol... www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🚨 Our paper, "International Trade and the Transmission of Temperature Shocks," co-authored with Daniel Osberghaus, has just been published in Environmental and Resource Economics! We find that a month with average temperatures above 30°C reduces a country's exports by around 3%. 1/3

Call for papers now open! The 9th Conference on Econometric Models of Climate Change will take place at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada on Aug. 27-28th 2025. Submit your abstracts by April 17th! #econsky Looking forward to seeing you in Victoria! More info at: www.tinyurl.com/emcc2025uvic

I have apparently agreed to write a chapter on "Critical Perspectives on Climate Economics" for the Handbook of Climate Change Economics - yikes! I know you guys have tons to say about climate change economics, so send me your best takes, preferably peer reviewed and reference-able.

Finally found the time for @hannahritchie.bsky.social‘s „Not the end of the world“. A welcome reminder not to lose sight of the forest for the trees in sustainable development (and env econ!). Overall a well reasoned and comprehensive argument for „conditional optimism“. Highly recommended!

What happens to #laborproductivity as temperatures 🥵 increase? Can #adaptation help? In a new cross-country firm-level analysis, we provide new insights into these questions 👇

Did everything feel a bit more mathematical this morning? That's because 2025 is a perfect square ✅! Yes, 2025 is 45² = (1+2+...+9)². It's the first square year since 1936, and the next one is 2116. But that's not all… read on ⬇️👀

Impressive work on optimal adaptation to flood risk in the USA taking into account spatial equilibrium and temporal dynamics

I just released Coding for Economists v1.0.2. This update fixes a lot of minor issues and switches to Astral's uv as the recommended package manager. We have some new contributors too. And, big news, CfE also hit 750 stars! ⭐⭐⭐ aeturrell.github.io/coding-for-e...
