"Do Carbon Offsets Offset Carbon?" has won the 2026 Best Paper Award for American Economic Journal: Applied Economics.

The answer is No. At least 52% of carbon offsets were allocated to projects that would have been built anyway.

What is the market reaction to #CBAM? The EU #carbon #tax seems like another burden to EU firms. https://t.co/0vu2SCX683

Just published in @el_pais on the risk of politicizing sustainability. In recent years, far-right leaders in the U.S. have targeted ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing, framing it as part of a "woke agenda."🧵(1/4)

El pasado 15 de octubre, los antiguos alumnos de Barcelona se reunieron para una sesión en la que el profesor de @fcomunav Jordi Rodríguez Virgili (COM'96 | PhD'02) @jrvirgili habló sobre las próximas elecciones de Estados Unidos.

¡Gracias a todos los que asististeis!

I suspect the climate misinformation campaign will intensify until the US election (and hopefully die down once Trump loses) but it is frightening.... The new wave of climate claptrap - https://t.co/jKN6MAJU84 via @FT

(7/n) From January 1, 2026, the CBAM will be fully implemented. EU importers will be required to purchase and surrender CBAM certificates that correspond to the carbon #emissions associated with their imported goods. The CBAM is expected to expand to other industries over time.

[Marta Alonso @malonsosanz]

(1/n) The carbon border adjustment mechanism (#CBAM) is a policy tool implemented by the EU. In our wp, we find that stock prices of EU importers of CBAM products respond negatively to the announcement of the CBAM. Link to paper 👇https://t.co/5e5ZgAbk7m

[Marta Alonso @malonsosanz]

(6/n) The CBAM entered a transition phase on October 1, 2023. During this phase, importers of certain goods, such as #cement, #steel, #aluminum, #fertilizers, #electricity, and #hydrogen, are required to #report the embedded carbon emissions in these goods.

@pewresearch Overall, we show the importance of a political consensus on environmental issues to disclose meaningful and valuable climate information. Net zero will be (even more) difficult to reach otw.

A new version of our wp on CEO’s political ideologies and climate disclosures is now available 👇🏻

@pewresearch We exploit two exogenous shocks. (1) Following major natural disasters within the US, we find Democratic CEOs increase the specificity of the disclosures. (2) After the Paris Agreement withdrawal, Democratic CEOs increase the negative tone in their firms’ climate disclosures.
