My co-author & PhD student, Nicolas Cerkez is on the JM! His work lies at the intersection of environmental, political economy & development. His JMP studies how exposure to extreme weather events shapes beliefs in democracy, across 16 SSA countries.👇 nicolascerkez.com

Richest 1% account for more carbon emissions than poorest 66%, and the solution starts with taxing the ultra-rich and fossil fuel. As usual, some scary stats + good sense recommendations from Oxfam International theguardian.com/environment/20…

I wrote a policy piece for EconPol Europe Forum, w/ Rick van der Ploeg and Tony Venables. We argue that decisive 'big push' green industrial policy is needed to convince firms & households that, without a doubt, the green transition is going to happen. 1/N cesifo.org/en/publication…

Consumption absolutely matters. “Emissions from the motor sector could have fallen by more than 30% between 2010 and 2022 if vehicles had stayed the same size” theguardian.com/environment/20…

My lovely Economics at King's colleagues ❤️

A transition away from fossil fuels also requires massive mining.

Longish 🧵 with reflections on a new-ish paper by the late Alberto Alesina. My research on austerity was inspired by his important work that has evolved over decades. The new paper was just circulated as a CEPR working paper, an earlier version circulates as IMF paper.

Striking chart from the latest LGIU report on the state of local government finance in England. This would suggest that austerity is very much back in local government. Are cuts to local libraries, parks and leisure consistent with levelling up? lgiu.org/publication/th…

Happy to share this new paper with Immanuel Feld. It links my work on austerity and climate action. In short, the paper suggests that large local government cuts following the global financial crisis may have impeded local governments ability to deliver climate action. Short 🧵

How can we tax companies without distorting investments? 1. Tax profits, allowing firms to deduct investment costs 2. Pay out these deductions immediately, in cash if needed Our new paper w/Torfinn Harding, accepted at JAERE provides theoretical and empirical support for this

New working paper on climate, wildfire smoke, and mortality, expertly led by Minghao Qiu StanfordECHOLab . We find that by mid-century in the US, damages from mortality from wildfire smoke are about equal to the sum of all other climate damages in recent estimates 🧵
