Our paper on Amazon deforestation is out! Grateful to everyone who helped along the way. I'd like to highlight one thing that made a huge difference: clear and thoughtful guidance from the editor.

Just a few days left to apply to this 3-year postdoc position in environmental economics at @vusbe.bsky.social to work with me on the economics of water management (drought, contract design, nature based solutions, experiments, etc). Application deadline: May 15. workingat.vu.nl/vacancies/po...

I've decided to collect my DiD materials in a single place. psantanna.com/did-resources There, you will find - 14 lectures of my comprehensive DiD course - Shorter lectures/talks I have given on DiD - My DiD R/Stata/Python packages - Some DiD checklists - DiD materials from my friends Enjoy!

I am thinking of making my DiD materials that I used for teaching in the last 5 years available. I am hoping these would find begineers in need of a step-by-step opinionated walkthrough of several developments Let’s see if I find the energy to do this!

After many iterations my paper on endogenous climate in deforestation modeling is reborn! (an amazing photo from the one and only Sebastião Salgado:)

Since I haven't seen it posted on BlueSky yet: check the report by the "Global Commission on the Economics of Water". I like it quite a bit. economicsofwater.watercommission.org #econsky 1/3

What a paper! Interdisciplinary env econ research at its best.

Rafa’s work has some of my favorite examples of serious economic theory + relevant policy question + super cool data. check it out!
