Det er med den største fornøjelse, at jeg imødeser muligheden for at ytre nogle beskedne tanker ved den Miljøøkonomiske Konference senere i denne uge. Jeg tør ikke håbe, at mine betragtninger skulle bringe sand oplysning til et så distingveret selskab, ... #JaneAusten

Great program 👇

By all indications, last years economics job market was much tougher than any year since the pandemic. But all signs point towards an even worse job market coming up this season. Let me explain.

I never listened much to Black Sabbath. I am more the folk type, I guess. But today I listened a bit for the obvious reasons… I have to say, it is quite good!

We are hiring an Associate Professor (open field) at the Department of Economics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Feel free to message me / email for any further information. Please share! www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

Debatten har veldig lenge vore eit av dei minst interessante programma på NRK. Agendadrive, dårlig på maktforhold og enkel statistikk, samt personfokusert.

When the hardest proof of the paper "is left for readers as an exercise".

Happy to have this out (joint with @paolosantini.bsky.social & Ellora Derenoncourt). Stay tuned for more!

Home for summer!

Our approach makes it possible to reflect the values that people actually hold – and not just those that are easy to calculate. #Economics #Philosophy Pretty big, right? News item in the comments.

Heya #EconSky, has anyone read the recent @nber.org WP on "Uncertainty in Empirical" Econ by Shorfheide and You? Based on a quick look this morning - this is interesting! - I need more time to read it and someone to discuss it with 1/N

In July's Environmental and Resource Economics: A long-standing question in regulation is the degree to which policy goals can be met through voluntary action rather than direct state intervention. Hyunseok Kim & GianCarlo Moschini cast new light on the issue. #EconSky

Matt and I had been working in my office for a while during one of his visits. Just all in. Focused. And this figure just appeared, like magic. But then we realized we had to explain it in writing. And kids, that's hard to do.

How should we distribute benefits and costs between generations? In the paper 'Intergenerational Discounting and Inequality', with @pgpiacquadio.bsky.social, we have created a framework for understanding and assessing this very question. Read the KU news item. news.ku.dk/all_news/202...

Hvordan bør vi fordele goder og omkostninger mellem generationer? I artiklen 'Intergenerational Discounting and Inequality', sammen med @pgpiacquadio.bsky.social, har vi udviklet en ramme for at forstå og vurdere netop dette spørgsmål. Læs nyheden fra KU. nyheder.ku.dk/alle_nyheder...

Eg forstår ikkje Noregspris. Omfordel heller midlar etter politisk ønske, og la marknaden for straum fungere som den skal.

Any recommendations for an overview article or book chapter on environmental valuation that is understandable to non-economists?

Mille merci.

Jippi!

Kvil i fred! I learned a lot from Marcus Hagedorn. As a PhD student, I really loved his macro lectures and found his research seminars extremely inspiring. It was also a great joy to sit just down and discuss with him. www.sv.uio.no/econ/english...

EAERE is holding elections. The most important question, of course, is how much corn should be served at events organized by the association. What are the candidates' positions on this? I'll take the liberty of referencing the highly influential – though not peer-reviewed – paper by Nesje (2017):

Looking very much forward to the workshop on Normative Economics and Philosophy in Tokyo, starting in late May! Beyond enjoying fantastic discussions, I will be presenting "Does Axiological Longtermism Require Deontic Shorttermism?" (joint with Geir B. Asheim). www.tus.ac.jp/ias/%E5%9B%B...

Aanund var for meg omgjeven av ein slags mystikk. Han er truleg den smartaste eg nokon gong har møtt. Personleg fann eg stor glede i å diskutere med Aanund under doktorgraden. Før det underviste han meg i mikroøkonomi. Fred over minnet! www.khrono.no/aanund-hylla...

Vi fekk ein sånn Frontiers Planet Prize. Christian Traeger oppsummerar godt for dei som likar å lese på norsk. "Prisen går til forskning som viser størst potensial for å løse verdens alvorligste miljøproblemer.", heiter det. www.sv.uio.no/econ/om/aktu...

This arrived by mail! Looking forward to reading it in more detail. @paulkelleher.net
