Lots of discussion about natural disaster price-gouging laws right now, so feels like it might be a useful time to share slides from a work-in-progress project on this topic I’m working on with @JohannaRayl @nad_lucas @mikedinerstein and Becky Scurlock ishannath.com/s/Price_Gougin…

The "price gouging" lit on here on all sides seems wrong to me. In economic theory: more supply is good, better allocation based on WTP is good, but higher markups per se are not (holding Q constant, depends on welfare weight for buyer vs seller). 1/5

some personal news: I have a pre-doc job to advertise, but for it to make sense I need to first share that in 2025-26 I will start a new job as an assistant professor at Harvard @Kennedy_School. I will dearly miss my friends @sffed, but am excited for new adventures in Boston!

You should update your priors on the science of hurricanes and climate. Things have advanced a lot in the field over the years. Listen to our latest Shift Key episode with climate scientist and hurricane expert Gabriel Vecchi from Princeton. open.spotify.com/episode/0oE…

I distinctly remember @Capi_Planeta telling me his dream was to join UNAM as faculty in one of our first advising meetings. It's a proud moment to see him realize this ambition, and exciting to think of all the important and interesting research to come
This is the smile of a person who, 10 years ago, dreamed of coming back to UNAM as a professor, and now it's a reality! I'm joining @ICAyCC_UNAM as faculty this fall!

Are we adapting to climate change? In new preprint, we use decades of data on 21 outcomes around the world & measure whether they have become less sensitive to a given change in climate. We find clear evidence of such adaptation in only ~25% of cases. 1/x nber.org/papers/w32985

Interesting paper on intergenerational insurance by the amazing @ales_rus, @FrancescoLanci7 and @timsworrall:
How can we sustain risk-sharing between generations in an uncertain world? Our new article in @JPolEcon explores "Intergenerational Insurance", where transfers rely on the voluntary participation of each generation, rather than enforcement. (1/9) 🔗journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10…

Typhoon #Yagi has left substantial impacts to life / property in Asia. The economic toll in China, Vietnam, and the Philippines will notably exceed >$10 billion. First reports from China (Hainan) show minimum losses at $9.3 billion. Key industrial facilities in Vietnam hit hard.

Carbon offsets don't work in the forest sector, but the forest sector can contribute to mitigation and needs funding. This paper proposes tracking "contributions to forests" without tying them to offsets. I think its a good idea. ssir.org/articles/entry/fore…

I am running out of words to describe how absurd August 2024 was in Svalbard. Reaching an average temperature of 11°C in August would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. This is totally bonkers.

The Manchin-Barrasso permitting reform plan would allow Americans to start building energy infrastructure again, while cleaning up the environment. Passing it is a no-brainer for anyone in Congress.

Biodiversiy is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.
