How do we get new environmentally-friendly technologies into the hands of people?
One hypothesis is that social interactions with peers are essential: I provide causal estimates of peer effects on adopting electric vehicles (EV).

No amount of fiddling with taxes and subsidies is going to get us more fuel. Just like first home buyer grants and so on don’t get you more houses.

Rent in rent-regulated vs second-hand unregulated flats in Sweden's three largest cities.

Rents are 2.5x higher on the second-hand market in Stockholm.

An arbitrary and poor system.

(Rents in SEK/square meter.)

🚨🚗⚡️How responsive are EV drivers to public charging prices?

I'm excited to share our new working paper:

“The Impact of Dynamic Prices on Electric Vehicle Public Charging Demand: Evidence from a Nationwide Natural Field Experiment”

Economics works, folks.

@SchubertLexi Amazing paper!

In a @Nature article, my co-authors and I from the @JPAL_NA Economics of Decarbonization Working Group outline how evaluating decarbonization programs will be essential to achieving the greatest impact. @UCDavisEcon @UCDavis @DallasFed https://t.co/ywnkY0mZcU

Workplace EV charging, particularly when aligned with peak solar energy production midday, offers a compelling solution for a more sustainable transportation future. Our UCSD team just published an article on this topic https://t.co/DrkAAN7XUA

Great VoxEU writeup on the economics of exempting green vehicles from congestion zone pricing!

[VoxEU @voxeu]

Congestion pricing with exemptions for alternative vehicles can reduce traffic while incentivising green vehicle adoption. These exemptions are best employed when there are few electric vehicles on the road.

@c_a_gravert @CESifoNetwork Thanks a lot! :)

[Institute for International Economic Studies @IIES_Sthlm]

Many countries want to decarbonize their economies. Eg, the US aims to be net zero by 2050. Given this target: What is the optimal transition path? What are the main drivers and economic implications? Our JMC Stefan Hinkelmann @s_hinkelmann tackles these questions in his JMP.

@kbburchardi Conditional on being lawful

[Sebastian Tebbe @SebastianTebbe]

Why do we see so few publications in top journals addressing the massive environmental impact of plant-based diets? With food systems playing a major role in emissions, shouldn't research spotlight this vital aspect of sustainability? 🌱
