Conclusions and Scope for Future Research: "Energy prices affect where firms invest, but effects are limited to specific sectors and geographies. Future research should explore firm-level responses to different environmental policies. #Sustainability #ClimateAction

Key Findings: "A 10% increase in energy price differentials leads to a 3.2% rise in cross-border acquisitions, especially in energy-intensive industries and emerging markets. The effects are modest for carbon pricing differences. #EnergyEfficiency"

This @JEEM_twits paper shows that energy price differentials influence geographical distribution of industrial investment. #EconTwitter @JEEM_twits v👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @LSEnews WP v👇 lse.ac.uk/granthaminstit… More & further research👇

Conclusions and Scope for Future Research: "While gender differences in labor supply explain part of the gap, future research could explore firm-side factors like discrimination. More on policies can better support women’s recovery post-displacement? #LaborPolicy #EqualityInWork

Key Findings: "Women experience 35% larger earnings losses than men post-displacement, even after controlling for job characteristics. Parenthood widens the gap further, and women tend to take more part-time or lower-paying jobs. #GenderInequality #EarningsLoss #FamilyEconomics

Using German data, this @JEEA_News paper shows that mass layoffs reduce women’s earnings substantially than men’s, with the gap persisting 5 years after displacement. @econtwitter @JEEA v👇 academic.oup.com/jeea/article/2… Free @IZA_bonn WP v👇 docs.iza.org/dp14724.pdf More 👇

If you work on urban issues in developing countries, consider submitting your paper to this conference organized by @The_IGC @WorldBank and the city of Cape Town. 👇

Future research: explore strategies to mitigate these costs, particularly for disadvantaged communities. #EnvironmentalJustice #AirQuality #Exercise #HealthCosts

Conclusions and Scope for Future Research Air pollution has hidden social costs—reduced physical activity leads to long-term health impacts like obesity and heart disease.

Using 27 million exercise records of 243,395 Chinese residents, this @JEEM_tweets paper finds that heavy air pollution leads to a 28% reduction in urbanites’ outdoor exercise likelihood #AirPollution #econtwitter @JEEM v👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
