How do we get new environmentally-friendly technologies into the hands of people?
One hypothesis is that social interactions with peers are essential: I provide causal estimates of peer effects on adopting electric vehicles (EV).

No amount of fiddling with taxes and subsidies is going to get us more fuel. Just like first home buyer grants and so on don’t get you more houses.

#BREAKING: the PM announces the halving of the fuel excise for three months, saving 26.3c/litre at the pump. Heavy vehicle user charges will also be removed for three months. @10NewsAU

Rent in rent-regulated vs second-hand unregulated flats in Sweden's three largest cities.
Rents are 2.5x higher on the second-hand market in Stockholm.
An arbitrary and poor system.
(Rents in SEK/square meter.)

🚨🚗⚡️How responsive are EV drivers to public charging prices?
I'm excited to share our new working paper:

Economics works, folks.

this is INCREDIBLE, congestion pricing is already working wonders
traffic at 1:30PM on the average Sunday vs today
Holland Tunnel: 27 mins ➡️ 9 mins
Lincoln Tunnel: 10 mins ➡️ 3 mins

Great VoxEU writeup on the economics of exempting green vehicles from congestion zone pricing!
Congestion pricing with exemptions for alternative vehicles can reduce traffic while incentivising green vehicle adoption. These exemptions are best employed when there are few electric vehicles on the road.

Many countries want to decarbonize their economies. Eg, the US aims to be net zero by 2050. Given this target: What is the optimal transition path? What are the main drivers and economic implications? Our JMC Stefan Hinkelmann @s_hinkelmann tackles these questions in his JMP.

Why do we see so few publications in top journals addressing the massive environmental impact of plant-based diets? With food systems playing a major role in emissions, shouldn't research spotlight this vital aspect of sustainability? 🌱
