In this new article in @PolicySciences, Rory Hooper, @KornelisBlok, Lisa Scholten, and I propose a semi-automated approach for synthesising policy-relevant evidence using natural language processing, causal mapping, and graph analytics.

In this new study in @PLOSONE, @john_m_brandt, M Moroney, @sophiejanaskie, @ecoangelhsu, and I find that higher ambient ozone pollution is associated with lower retail spending, an unaccounted microeconomic cost of air pollution.

[Data-Driven EnviroLab @datadrivenlab]

Air pollution is the leading environmental killer worldwide; its microeconomic impact, however, is not well understood.

In our first pub of 2024, we explore the relationship between consumer spending and ambient air pollution using data from Spain:

In this new article, @howlettm and I shed light on the (complicated) relationship between learning and policy innovation by differentiating varieties of innovation and synthesising research on policy learning with policy change.

🌡️  ERA5 data from @CopernicusECMWF indicates that 17 November was the first day that the global temperature exceeded 2°C above pre-industrial levels, reaching 2.07°C above the 1850-1900 average and the provisional ERA5 value for 18 November is 2.06°C.

[Nihit Goyal @nihitgoyal]

A reason for the discrepancy between the perceived benefit of the policy and its limited effect on electricity consumption might be the focus of the policy on electricity supply; we recommend more emphasis on demand characteristics and tariff design for realising SDG7.

[Nihit Goyal @nihitgoyal]

In this new article in @ElsevierEnergy Policy, @namratarc and I examine the effect of a state-level rural electrification policy in India on electricity access using night-time lights and granular implementation data.

[Nihit Goyal @nihitgoyal]

We find that the overall effect of the policy on (night-time) electricity consumption was not substantial. More likely, the policy had a slight re-distributive effect, increasing electricity consumption in some villages (in some districts) while reducing it in others.
