On the 15th, I will be presenting on the economic damage from climate change to a new group of interdisciplinary climate change researchers at the CIRC Workshop (including my own) are now available online. Check out the website if you are interested in learning more about the group.

Recordings of the talks from the UCLA Climate Adaptation Research Symposium (including my own) are now available online.

I will be presenting work on the climate change implications of labor adjustment costs at the UCLA Climate Adaptation Research Symposium on September 21st.

Great news on climate change policy in the US: a federal judge blocked rollback of a methane emissions rule, in the process finding that federal agencies must take global climate damages into account when conducting cost-benefit analysis. Congratulations to my Institute for Policy Integrity colleagues for helping make this case.

Ankit Bhutani has created new Python code to estimate two-sample two-stage least squares (TS2SLS). The code also works in R! Find it on Ankit’s github page. The new code provides more accurate standard error calculations than my Stata code.

The new version of our paper on present bias and beliefs is available as an IZA working paper. Congrats to Matthew on his IZA affiliation!
