In the Brazilian Amazon, large landholders strategically donate to local politicians, who promote agriculture in return – with negative environmental consequences. https://t.co/SyRnXkiLZI

Economics Journals as Tennis Tournaments
🧵(for an extremely niche audience)

Quarterly Journal of Economics = Wimbledon

The oldest and most influential event, but also clubby, snobby, and elitist. To win it you must train on a very particular surface/ZIP code.

🚨1/9 In a new WP, @LichtingerGuy and I use detailed LinkedIn résumé + job-posting data on ~285k U.S. firms (2015–2025) to study a debated question: how does generative AI adoption affect entry-level employment?

(3/X) Now, my coauthors teamed up with the great @T_Giommoni to measure the economic impact of these badly designed laws with a novel measure of legal uncertainty: how often higher and lower courts disagree on law interpretation. Brilliant!

How is regional loss of manufacturing jobs linked to populism? In a new paper @PVS_journal, Michael Bayerlein, Anne Metten & I find that industrial decline in Germany shapes electoral support for left-wing rather than far-right populist parties. Thread🧵https://t.co/TlYhoImteE

What effect do ideologically extreme candidates have on voters?

"We show that in-party voters, out-party voters, and independent voters are more likely to turnout to vote and partisans are more likely to support their party’s candidate in elections with ideologically extreme candidates."

Our working paper on the impact of heat pumps on energy demand was featured in the @nberpubs’s monthly digest for February!

In our study @CentreNetZero, we found that heat pump adoption in the UK results in:
🌍 70% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions
⚡ 40% reduction in overall energy demand

This highlights the incredible potential of heat pumps to decarbonize the grid.

One of the best use cases for geospatial data is examining environmental factors.

Here's a list of my favourite geospatial environmental datasets:

It's insanely tough to estimate 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣-𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 CO2 emissions.

However, a new approach attempts to do this in real-time.

Plus it uses free data.

Here's the breakdown:

📣 New Working Paper 📣
Are the supporters of the ruling party rewarded with jobs in the public administration?
Yes, and the effect is driven by young, well-connected, loyal supporters who can contribute to the election campaign by mobilising additional votes at lowest cost.
