The paper shows that the choice of estimation technique impacts the results when a student perspective is adopted, particularly in the presence of super-efficient decision units, when “order-m” outperforms DEA and FDH.

New paper (or christmas present)! Check our paper accepted at the Journal of Economic Inequality to learn a strategy for handling bracketed income data (or other variable) inspired by our work in Grenada at the @WBG_Poverty.
Skills for work are crucial, especially since 70% of people in Latin America & the Caribbean rely exclusively on their jobs for income.

This calculates the impact of WFH frequency from 0 to 5 days a week on carbon emissions. It combines commuting, non-commuting travel (e.g. driving to buy lunch if you WFH), office energy, home energy and ICT energy.
It finds moving to 2 days a week reduces carbon use by 11%, 4 days by 29% and 5 days a week by a staggering 58%. This mainly from by less commuting and closing offices. We know commuting is energy intensive, but only after reading this did I realize offices are also huge energy users.
For firms this highlights how a supportive WFH policy can deliver progress on climate objectives. Indeed, these effects are so large that WFH policies are likely to be one of the most powerful tools for companies trying to reduce their carbon footprint.
