Policy implications:

1. CS is large. - Policies regulating development of new cabins should balance environmental costs against welfare benefits.

2. Demand appears to be inelastic. - Potential to tax cabin owners more to offset the environmental degradations cabins cause.

Excited to share that my paper "The value of cabin-based outdoor recreation: Evidence from a natural experiment" (with @EDSandorf, @ZanderVenter6 and Anders Dugstad) is now out in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management

Lastly, we calculate the price elasticity to be -0.24 (with a 95% confidence interval of [-0.73, −0.05]), indicating inelastic demand.

Since we used aggregate data, we had to conduct a Monte Carlo simulation to get an estimate of the uncertainty:

@Torodin @AndreasAasheim Et par TWh. Ja det merkes. Har brukt dem litt til å hente ut priser fra ulike land. Grunn til å tro at det er mer pålitelig?

@Torodin @AndreasAasheim Hva slags feil?

Love how degrowth is just what if we made the correlation-causation fallacy into a discipline.

[George Tsakraklides @99blackbaloons]

Everyone is against #degrowth because there’s no money to be made from it.

So…humanity has chosen money, over preventing the end of the world.

…but money will be worthless when there’s no food to purchase

"Even if Zelensky agrees to negotiate, there is no evidence that Putin wants to negotiate, that he wants to stop fighting, or that he has ever wanted to stop fighting."

On the challenge Putin still presents to Europe and the rest of the world:

Konseptet har en samfunnsøkonomisk nettonytte (alle nyttevirkninger minus alle kostnadsvirkninger) på minus 277 mrd. kr. Å bygge banen har den samme velferdsvirkningen for samfunnet som å helle bensin over 277 mrd. kr og tenne på.

Nord-Norgebanen fra Fauske til Tromsø med arm til Harstad har en foreslått kostnadsramme på 333 mrd. kr. Det er snaut 30 mrd. kr. mer enn Islands bruttonasjonalprodukt.

Gjennom levetiden vil det føre til 7,75 mill. tonn CO2-utslipp. Det er 7,75/0,9 = 8,6 ganger så mye utslipp som forårsakes av Melkøya per år. Sparte utslipp som følge av overføring av trafikk til bane er på i underkant av 3 mill. tonn. Altså vil nettoutslippene øke.
