A reminder that moderate and extreme cold are responsible for a surprising number of excess deaths in the US- probably about 3% of all deaths. Check in on vulnerable folks if you can!

@JonathanColmer and I are hiring up to 2 pre-docs to work with us and the @en_equality_lab team on environmental inequality, regulation, and policy. Please apply, or encourage folks to apply at: https://t.co/GwVNlDuFUL

[Jonathan Colmer @JonathanColmer]

@gajgaurav @econ_ra @predoc_org @AereOrg You don't have to have SSS, but eligibility for SSS is a pretty strong draw all else equal given the work that we do with the U.S. Census Bureau. Citizenship isn't required, foreign nationals with 3 of the past 5 years of residency in the US would also be eligible.

[Jonathan Colmer @JonathanColmer]

The Environmental Inequality Lab is hiring 2 new pre-docs to join our team! We do research in environmental economics but those with interests in labor/public/urban/spatial/development economics should def apply. Apply here: https://t.co/utlAIJxFeG @econ_ra @predoc_org @AereOrg

[The Environmental Inequality Lab @en_equality_lab]

We're Hiring! Come and work with us on our research and public facing work to better understand the extent, causes, and consequences of environmental inequality!

[Jonathan Colmer @JonathanColmer]

Previous RAs have gone onto graduate programs at Columbia, Berkeley, and positions at the U.S. Census Bureau (you don't have to end up doing a PhD, a pre doc is a great way to find out if it's something you really want to do!)

[Jonathan Colmer @JonathanColmer]

You'll be joining a growing team of other pre docs and RAs and other env econ researchers (@andrewjswilson, currently at Stanford, and Jenna Anders, currently at Berkeley, are joining UVA too!) Heavy focus on mentoring and training. V competitive salary & lower cost of living.

[Chris Blattman @cblatts]

@HarrisPolicy is searching for development economists at the Associate and Full level. We are open to untenured faculty ready or near ready for promotion too.

@paulnovosad After telling ChatGPT-4o that suggestion 1) Kf7 was stalemate, and suggestion 2) g7+ wasn't a viable move because there's a freaking pawn in the way!, it got there on try 3, but ooof.

@Econ_Sandy Wonderful news! Congratulations!

[Florian Ederer @florianederer]

OPEC’s market power reduced emissions by over 67 GtCO2, equating to $4,073 billion in climate damages and 17.8% of the carbon budget needed for the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target.

The population characteristics of those exposed to excessive rainfall and tropical storm-force winds were similar to the population that was forecasted to be exposed.

[Jonathan Colmer @JonathanColmer]

We have now finalized our post-landfall report for Hurricane Milton (took us longer than expected, but we'll be quicker next time). Identifying who is exposed is crucial to developing targeted, efficient, and equitable responses.

[Jonathan Colmer @JonathanColmer]

Approximately 8.9 million people received more than 5 inches of rainfall within 24 hours, an amount high enough to trigger flash flooding. The affected population had a higher proportion of older, Hispanic, and low-income individuals, compared to national averages.
