Fingers crossed for Teresa Ribera 🌹 as next Climate Commissioner! 🤞

El exilio venezolano no son (sólo) los que viven en el barrio de Salamanca de Madrid. Son también los millones de desplazados que huyeron del hambre y la violencia en Venezuela y deambulan desde hace años por las grandes ciudades colombianas, argentinas, y chilenas.

The world’s biggest new auto market (by far) is now more than half EVs and plug-in hybrids

"Our estimates of the social cost of the phase-out range from €3 to €8 billion per year. The majority of this cost comes from the increased mortality risk associated with exposure to the local air pollution emitted when burning fossil fuels."

Ideology is costly…

Important point! The nuclear phase out supported by BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN was a mistake. However, FDP ideology is probably much worse. How many lifes would the phase out of fossil fuel based heating and internal combustion engine vehicles save? Not all ideologies are equally costly.

Una vuelta de tuerca para dar una medida del nivel de pobreza de España: A paridad de poder adquisitivo, el alemán mediano ingresa en neto lo mismo que el top 80% español. 28.000€ netos anuales (2.000€ en 14 pagas)

Italy is most at risk in Europe for heat-related deaths because of both stronger ageing and stronger warming doi.org/10.1016/S2468-… Problem is, I suspect a lot of those older Italian people are currently online posting climate denying s**t

I think we need to pay more attention to those things that matter every day. Instead our attention gets absorbed by one unusual tragic event after the other. Now it's been a week of reporting on a sailboat disaster. It is a tragedy and I feel for the families. But I don't

Something extraordinary is happening in Germany... Marilen & I wrote about it. Free to read: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We've done some good progress with new #rstats package to worth with Spanish #mobility data released by Ministerio Transportes y Movilidad Sostenible and produced by Nommon . With just a few lines of code you can access years worth of high resolution origin-destination data. robinlovelace.github.io/spanishoddata/

Plug-in hybrids are no long-term solution. Electric vehicles are. However, for consumers not willing to buy an electric vehicle (yet) but caring about climate change, a plug-in hybrid driven almost exclusively in electric mode can be a great choice. sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/are-plug-in-…

A fuel tax increase in Portugal aimed to reduce transport CO2 ends up increasing CO2 in Spain (despite Portugal registering a reduction). This is known as CARBON LEAKAGE. link.springer.com/article/10.100… #econtwitter UB School of Economics ECOBAS Económicas UNED EAERE OAP_UB

Big congratulations to our amazing colleagues Françeska Tomori , Tobias Albrecht, Jordi J. Teixidó Xavier Fageda and Luisa Nobre for receiving awards at the AERNA Conference.

Periodic reminder that the *stock* of zero-emission cars will take a *long* time to get anywhere near 100%. Which is why we should be using cars less.

We’ve had an exciting two days at our Summer School with @Econ_UW and DIW Berlin! PhD students from the DIW Graduate Center—Till Köveker, Lorenz Meister, and Yogam Tchokni—presented their latest research findings. Great insights and discussions! #EconResearch #PhD #DIW

I recently wrote about why I don't like "killer stats" here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… I think they're usually not very good. AND at this point, there are a lot of them (so they often don't pay off with the attention one is seeking). x.com/DaveEvansPhD/s…

The other, blue place is really booming right now. Several top Econ journals, NBER, CEPR, SIEPR, and many others joined and became active there this week. Quite a few journalists, too. It's a good time to give it a try.

Evidencia del efecto negativo de hacer un doctorado sobre salud mental con datos suecos. Mi hipótesis para 🇪🇸: peores condiciones/perspectivas laborales y caciquismo asociado a endogamia podría hacer el efecto negativo incluso mayor de lo que muestra este estudio.
