A reminder that moderate and extreme cold are responsible for a surprising number of excess deaths in the US- probably about 3% of all deaths. Check in on vulnerable folks if you can!

You'll be joining a growing team of other pre docs and RAs and other env econ researchers (@andrewjswilson, currently at Stanford, and Jenna Anders, currently at Berkeley, are joining UVA too!) Heavy focus on mentoring and training. V competitive salary & lower cost of living.

Previous RAs have gone onto graduate programs at Columbia, Berkeley, and positions at the U.S. Census Bureau (you don't have to end up doing a PhD, a pre doc is a great way to find out if it's something you really want to do!)

OPEC’s market power reduced emissions by over 67 GtCO2, equating to $4,073 billion in climate damages and 17.8% of the carbon budget needed for the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target.

We have now finalized our post-landfall report for Hurricane Milton (took us longer than expected, but we'll be quicker next time). Identifying who is exposed is crucial to developing targeted, efficient, and equitable responses.

Approximately 8.9 million people received more than 5 inches of rainfall within 24 hours, an amount high enough to trigger flash flooding. The affected population had a higher proportion of older, Hispanic, and low-income individuals, compared to national averages.

The population characteristics of those exposed to excessive rainfall and tropical storm-force winds were similar to the population that was forecasted to be exposed.

#EconTwitter I'm very excited to present our new working paper (nber.org/papers/w33050) at @BrownUniversity tomorrow! Thanks for hosting me! A mid-sized 🧵
TL;DR: "Racial differences in income unable to explain a meaningful share of gaps in ambient air pollution exposure."

Taking the implied elasticity from this exercise, we recalculate that harmonizing the Black-White income gap would be associated with a 7% reduction in the Black-White pollution gap. Very similar to what was implied by the descriptive facts.

Many questions remain! For example, it is possible, likely even, that income could affect env' quality in ways not captured in this study. e.g. aggregate increases in income for a community could affect env' quality through collective action. Someone should look into that.
