This is very inconsistent with the evidence from top public finance papers.

Their mobility elasticity is high, and is higher for state/local taxes.

SBA is small but great! Phoenix is the nicest big US airport in my view

Seeing the Invisible: Responses to Indoor Air Pollution, with Robert D. Metcalfe Robert D. Metcalfe discusses his recent study of indoor air pollution levels in homes and how people respond when made aware of their exposure.

Nice to hear @rmetcalfe.bsky.social on @rff.org's Resources Radio podcast. The discussion covers some cool new research with my colleague @sjroth.bsky.social on indoor air pollution. Worth a listen.

Last week I took thirty of our fantastic environmental economics masters students on a trip out to an offshore wind farm. Lots of interesting discussion about renewable energy, plus there was time for fish & chips on the beach. All in all, a great day out!

So much of our research on air pollution is focused on outdoor pollution, but indoors is where we spend 90% of our time. This is a really nice paper with some compelling findings!

We just released our paper using a field experiment to reveal indoor air pollution (IAP) in London: It’s worse than you think!

🧵with six main results👇

First day on sabbatical at UCSB and feeling right at home with a very warm welcome (including 🍷). Excited for the year ahead!

Just touched down on BlueSky! As an economist, I’m always curious about new platforms—so I asked my AI assistant to help craft this first post. Let’s see what kind of discussions take flight here! 🌤️ #NewHorizons #EconomicsInTheSky
