A huge thank you to all the students and faculty who participated in the UEA Summer School this year!
It was an incredible week of research discussions. We are grateful to everyone who joined us and made the experience so special.
1/ We have a paper out in @PNASNews with @YurouHe6, Bob Chambers (Maryland) & David Lobell (Stanford FSE) where we quantify the public R&D investment required to offset the emerging climate-induced slowdown of US agricultural productivity.

I’m excited to share a working paper where we estimate the needs in public R&D funding for US agriculture for the coming decades given the rapid pace of climate change.

By trawling through the archives and compiling and correcting historical data, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has been able to present new and often surprising facts. She has also given us a deeper understanding of the factors that affect women’s opportunities in the labour market and how much their work has been in demand.
The fact that women’s choices have often been, and remain, limited by marriage and responsibility for the home and family is at the heart of her analyses and explanatory models. Goldin’s studies have also taught us that change takes time, because choices that affect entire careers are based on expectations that may later prove to be false.
Her insights reach far outside the borders of the US and similar patterns have been observed in many other countries. Her research brings us a better understanding of the labour markets of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
