"Comprehensive national accounting for CO2 emissions" by Geir B. Asheim and Rintaro Yamaguchi.

ππ #Econsky
Accounting for these vulnerabilities is critical for developing nations that emit little but suffer the most from global warming. The vulnerability approach regroups nations, showing a striking difference from traditional metrics.
16.01.2026 13:01 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Figure 3 is a scatter plot showing the ratio of GS adjusted by the World Bank approach WB (using GSCC of USD 194/tCO2) for countries along the horizontal axis and the ratio of LSI and GNI for countries along the vertical axis. It illustrates how the LSI of the present paper leads to divergent empirical assessments of sustainability.
π Is a nationβs growth truly sustainable if it ignores its vulnerability to climate change?
βοΈ A new #JAERE study expands the focus of sustainability from a responsibility approach to how global emissions damage that specific country's future.

As a result, total driving and gasoline use rise only modestly. Assuming a one-for-one link between more cars and more driving overstates environmental and congestion costs by at least 150%, adding up to $90+ billion in error nationwide over time.
09.01.2026 13:01 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Estimated effects of safety inspection removal on log registrations are largely flat and close to zero in the years prior to removal, then rise afterward. The increase unfolds gradually over the first two years after removal, stabilizing 2+ years after removal at effect sizes between 0.06-0.08.
Does eliminating vehicle safety inspections actually lead to more driving and more pollution? ππ¨
π― A recent #JAERE study finds that ending safety inspections does increase vehicle fleets by about 5%, but the extra cars are driven much less than average.

"Nature's Kidneys: the Role of Wetland Reserve Easements in Restoring Water Quality" by Nicole Karwowski and Marin Skidmore.

Wetlands are most effective when placed where agricultural runoff is highest, supporting the idea that targeted nature-based solutions can deliver real water quality improvements.

πA new #JAERE study provides the first causal evidence that restored wetlands improve water quality across the Mississippi River Basin.
Using 30+ years of data, it shows federal wetland easements reduce nutrient pollution, especially in agricultural watersheds

"Dust to Dust: Tracing Air Pollutionβs Impact on Work Accidents" by Benjamin Hattemer and Ismael Moreno-Martinez.
Read it here: buff.ly/szHWHgy
ππ #Econsky
π‘οΈ Why it matters?
As dust intensifiesβespecially in Southern Europeβworker protection must go beyond heat stress to include air quality.
π Whatβs going on?
β’ Dust impairs attention, reaction time, and physical performance
β’ Effects span many occupations and injury types
β’ High-risk workers face much larger accident increases
Two-panel graphic: upper panel plots regression estimates and confidence intervals for dust events and temperature bins, visually indicating increased workplace accidents at higher temperatures and during dust episodes; lower panel presents histograms showing frequency of dust days and temperature levels.
πͺοΈ Do dust storms affect more than visibility and health? Yes, workplace safety too.
π a new #JAERE research using daily data from Spain (2010β2019) shows dust events raise workplace accidents by ~1.4%, explaining ~1 in every 400 total accidents.
