The deformation of democracy in the United States: When does bureaucratic “neutral competence” rise to complicity? - Bozeman - 2024 - Public Administration Review - Wiley Online Library https://t.co/z2Sebzi0cF
Ten years ago, California adopted landmark legislation aimed at curbing chronic overpumping of groundwater. As the state works toward the goals of SGMA, major challenges remain. "What we do in these next years is critical." https://t.co/2cL8uLK4H9
Elizabeth Baldwin and Minwoo Ahn develop systematic ways to integrate environmental policy games into undergraduate policy courses including enforcement, emissions trading, and groundwater game. Check it out below!

A 16-yr journey has come to an end with “Litigation for Sale” in @APSR. This paper was rejected after R&Rs at two journals, was used as a job talk numerous times, and finally has a home. Here’s the story of this labor of love, insecurity, and weird professional incentives.🧵
Impact: California lawmakers, responding to @LAJourno’s investigation, call for new legislation to protect employees amid escalating periods of extreme heat. @latimes @capitalandmain https://t.co/ym5yPLuoBI
🚨New WP: Can LLMs predict results of social science experiments?🚨
Prior work uses LLMs to simulate survey responses, but can they predict results of social science experiments?
Across 70 studies, we find striking alignment (r = .85) between simulated and observed effects 🧵👇
Congratulations to two of our volunteers and our Pathways Student for graduating today with degrees in Atmospheric Science from the University of Arizona! @HAS_UArizona We're so proud of you!! #azwx
Scientists just published the most extensive analysis to date of water levels in wells worldwide. They found that groundwater depletion is widespread and worsening in California and many of the world's food-growing regions. My latest with @lamarr_lemee: https://t.co/xlrXSEk7ha
The Biden administration says short-term plans for reducing water use should be sufficient to stave off risks of reservoirs reaching critically low levels for now. Talks on new long-term rules for managing the Colorado River are just beginning. https://t.co/MwxM5A5m0l
"Humans are neither all angels nor all devils."
Elinor Ostrom's work challenged economists' previous ideas about sharing and cooperation.
Her work gives us hope that we can have a more sustainable future. The 2023 prize in economic sciences will be announced later today.
Article out in @SciReports shows minimum thresholds for sustainable groundwater levels mirror business as usual rates of groundwater decline in CA's Central Valley, leaving drinking water wells vulnerable. Co-authored with @RichPauloo https://t.co/rHWBK1byLq
1/ Qualitative interviews offer unparalleled richness but are rarely used in economics. Let's change that! New WP with @Ingar30 uses an AI-driven approach to conducting q qualitative interviews, making them scalable, cheap, and ripe for both qualitative and quantitative analysis!
If you don't use citation software but need to resubmit to a journal with another format, you have to convert all references by hand, right??
Nope. ChatGPT just perfectly converted my AMA reference list to APA in 30 seconds. The robot overlords have given me my life back. 🤯🤯🤯
Perhaps more important than what the Governor's Water Policy Council is talking about are the unaddressed questions, the elephants in the room. https://t.co/KqSICMEnk0 via @azcentral
Here is our new textbook Infrastructure for Sustainability: https://t.co/SxBEBVzkaq . It is a follow-up on Sustaining the Commons, focusing on the coupled infrastructure systems framework.
We look forward to hearing your feedback.

It’s my first publication day! Using a conjoint experiment, @bonniersiegler and I find that white parents strongly prefer schools with fewer Asian students in a new paper out at @SocEducation. \thread
