I'm pleased and grateful to see my JMP featured on the World Bank Development Impact Blog! I invite you to visit the post and take a look at my paper. Thanks to Markus Goldstein for the excellent feedback and to David McKenzie and the team that for 11 years have been promoting JMCs.

Question: when writing a draft of a paper from scratch, where do you usually start?

Today, I presented at #AERE2022 my research showing that non-linearities and behavioral responses are key to understand the effects of air pollution on crime. It was awesome to share this experience with my friends Raahil Madhok Bianca Ravani Cecato! All thanks to AERE

Happy to have presented my PhD research at #AERE2022 (AERE) in Miami last week, and at the CREEA early career workshop in Environmental and Resource Economics today in Ottawa. Also very grateful to have won the best paper prize at the CREEA workshop!

Yesterday I presented my joint work with Frederik Noack and Patrick Baylis at Western Economic Association International In Portland, OR. Our paper looks at how migration can offset losses in consumption caused by weather and climate shocks. I also have been drinking a ridiculous amount of amazing Portland coffee!

🚨#JMP Alert🚨 Excited to share: "Infrastructure, Institutions, and the Conservation of Biodiversity in India" I study how infrastructure expansion erodes biodiversity + policies that can mitigate the tradeoff [🧵1/8] #agecontwitter #EconTwitter Link:raahilmadhok.com/pdf/rmadhok_jm…

Professional update: 3 weeks ago I said bye to UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems and I’m finally a Doctor! I am excited to start a new position as a postdoc with SP Institute in July, after a well deserved break that will include a visit (finally) to the Brazilian Amazon!

In this blog post I share my insights on some of the ways academic research in environmental economics can serve policy-making in Canada. institute.smartprosperity.ca/CREEA

2. A new paper by @elitzow, Bianca Ravani Cecato, Mauricio Romero & Tatiana Zárate-Barrera finds US lead regulation reduced test scores for kids near recyclers in Mexico: erinlitzow.github.io/MyFiles/JMP_Li… Reinforces our AERI paper (with K. Teshima 手島健介 & Shin Tanaka) on birthweight: x.com/AEAjournals/st… 2/2

Next up, Erin Litzow explores the impacts of environmental regulation on neighbouring countries. DID analysis shows that tightening US regulation has moved lead-acid battery recycling to Mexico, leading to worse cognitive outcomes for Mexican children. CSAE #OxCSAE2024

This post by The Food Professor claims that the Trudeau Government purposely built the Canadian Climate Institute and SP Institute as part of its "lobbying machine" and that they are "mandated to advocate blindly" for the carbon tax. This is a baseless claim. Thread...🧵

I will be speaking (remotely) at the IFSA UBC climate change conference on April 18th, which I now realize is EXACTLY ONE YEAR after my PhD defense at UBC

I just sat through a needlessly harsh seminar. If we can all remind ourselves that the tongue is like a sharp knife, it can kill without drawing blood, perhaps we can show a bit more compassion in seminars. #seminarpresentersarehumans2

Sentinel-2 satellite imagery from earlier today shows the incredible extent of the historic flooding in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Just terrible.

Holy smokes. Still wrapping my head around this. pulitzer.org/finalists/john… The Pulitzer Prizes Alfred A. Knopf

To halt and reverse #Biodiversity loss, Canada must protect the right areas, for the right reasons, in the right ways. In a new blog post, SPI’s Bianca Ravani Cecato explains why Canada’s “30x30” goal must be more than just a numbers game. (LINK): institute.smartprosperity.ca/Canada-Protect…
