Surveying the literature that links macroeconomics and climate change through: loss and damage, mitigation and the energy transition, and adaptation, from Adrien Bilal and James H. Stock https://www.nber.org/papers/w33567
Proposing an analytic representation of sequence-space Jacobians in heterogeneous agent models in continuous time, which leads to a threefold speed gain, from Adrien Bilal and Shlok Goyal https://www.nber.org/papers/w33525
In "Some Pleasant Sequence-Space Arithmetic in Continuous Time" with Shlok Goyal we derive new formulas and algorithms to solve continuous time heterogeneous agent models with sequence-space methods. It is 3 times faster than discrete time!

Distilling theoretical and empirical research linking urban, regional, and spatial economics to the environment; examining how environment shapes spatial outcomes and how spatial forces affect environment, from Clare A. Balboni and Joseph S. Shapiro https://www.nber.org/papers/w33377
🌎Does unilateral decarbonization pay for itself? In our new working paper, @adrienbilal.bsky.social and I analyze whether large economies like the U.S. and E.U. can justify broad decarbonization policies based purely on domestic economic benefits.
