🌍📈 Paper “The Economics of Inequality and the Environment” out today in the Journal of Economic Literature @aeajournals.bsky.social, joint with Jasper Meya, Lutz Sager & Ulrike Kornek. See short summary and PM by PIK linked below, and the paper here 👉 pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/...

The authors investigate Sweden’s carbon tax and VAT reform, finding it significantly increased low-carbon patents in the transport sector. The results indicate that carbon pricing – not general fuel price changes – primarily drives the innovation response.

Thrilled to see “The Economics of Inequality and the Environment” out in the Journal of Economic Literature @aeajournals.bsky.social, joint review with U.Kornek, J.Meya & L.Sager Environmental loss & economic inequality are two key challenges of our time, but how do both relate & interact?

Umweltzonen verbessern nicht nur die Luftqualität, sondern wirken sich auch positiv auf die mentale Gesundheit und den Bildungserfolg der Anwohner*innen aus. Dieser Zusammenhang wurde erstmals in einer von DIW-Forscherin Laura Schmitz mitverfassten Studie belegt: www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c.... (1/4)

Verringert sich die Luftverschmutzung, verbessert sich die mentale Gesundheit & der Schulerfolg der Anwohner/innen, zeigen Studienergebnisse der RWI-Wissenschaftler @johannesbrehm.bsky.social, Henri Gruhl, Robin Kottmann & von @diw.de-Wissenschaftlerin Laura Schmitz. Mehr dazu 👇

Important new empirical paper by @johannesbrehm.bsky.social: Climate strikes and civil disobedience have led to an increase in concerns about climate change in Germany. #ClimateSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

First paper out of my PhD published in Nature Communications! Henri Gruhl and I find that different types of climate protests (climate strikes & acts of civil disobedience) have been effective in increasing concerns about climate change in Germany.
