Congratulations to this rockstar, Jesus Gonzalez, on completing a marathon of a poster session. I think he was talking non-stop for the whole 4 hours!

Jesus Arellano Gonzalez from UC Davis: ag-climate research in developing countries violate many Hedonic/Ricardian assumptions. "Shadow values" for land show expected negative response to heat stress but HUGE positive response to access to credit.

Happy New Year! I'm headed to ASSA tomorrow and am happy to meet up with any PhD students or early career folks to talk career / research in the interdisciplinary science-econ space. Reply here or DM.

This is the kindest family I met during a fieldwork visit with IFPRI to Honduras. I learned from them about traditional bean farming systems and the power of beans to nurture the soil and the body. The photo made it to Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) photo drive. Thankful if you spare a like!

Our paper about groundwater banking and investments in the form of perennial crops is finally out! Check it out! Frances Moore American Journal of Agricultural Economics onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Covid-19 has drastically affected the agricultural labor market, disrupted supply chains, and may have long-lasting impacts on consumer purchasing behavior in the U.S. @louispl8 トロピカーナ Shaheer Burney via Choices Magazine AAEA choicesmagazine.org/choices-magazi…

This Wednesday at 6am CA time (!) I'll be presenting my paper with Bernie Bastien-Olvera on incorporating natural capital into climate damage estimates. Join us!

Today the US is the only country in the world outside the Paris Agreement. This is a huge mistake, costly both to the US and the rest of the world. This policy brief, written with Gernot Wagner Marshall Burke Robert N. Stavins and others outlines why lse.ac.uk/granthaminstit…

The Global Energy Infrastructure Emissions Database (GID) group releases Global Carbon Grid v1.0 online! Dan Tong @SteveDavisUCI Dabo Guan We provide global 0.1°×0.1° CO2 emission maps in 2019, with 70% of emissions are location-based estimates. gidmodel.org/?page_id=1425

This article gets at the many complexities of agricultural water use in California, with a great cameo from Morgan C Levy. Many issues are things @jaburney @SteveDavisUCI Amir AghaKouchak and I considered as part of our project on the food-water nexus in CA nytimes.com/2021/06/28/cli…

Today Climate Impact Lab published findings on the effects of climate change on global energy consumption. Katrina Jessoe and I wrote a Nature News & Views piece highlighting key take-aways nature.com/articles/d4158…

To me, the scariest finding is that Rode et al project only modest increases in electricity used for cooling. Poorer parts of the world will have only limited AC penetration even with growing incomes over the 21st century, leaving many people highly exposed to dangerous heat

The bombs are dropping in multiple cities. I'm making calls to check if everyone in my family is still alive and so far everyone is present and accounted for. Please consider donating to the Ukrainian armed forces. #StopRussianAggression bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/na…

A bit delayed in tweeting about this, but want to highlight this paper recently accepted in JAERE. We use 23 years of data on ESA spending to estimate how climate change will affect listing and conservation spending in the US

Just landed in Amsterdam en route to Dublin. A night of nightmares. But it’s over now. Read Cattaneo, Idrobo and Titunik (2019) book on RDD which I highly recommend. Phenomenal even. amazon.com/Introduction-R…
