🚨*New Paper Alert*🚨 What are the most effective ways to fight climate change? What are the returns to subsidies for wind and solar? What about EV subsidies or energy efficient appliance rebates? How about raising revenue through fuel taxes or cap and trade auctions? 1/:

I can’t remember the name of that author off the top of my head — I keep wanting to say Galway Kinnell but that’s a poet. Anyway; that author wrote about some summer place where “everyone was above average”. Come on. We can’t ALL be the same. 10/n

I saw today an article saying that OpenAI is “throwing everything” at creating a fully autonomous *researcher*. And it just made me think — man. We already have the ability to 3-d print diff in diff and shift-share papers by the truckload just with Claude code. 1/n

@causalinf As someone doing a lot of desk rejection, I wouldn't characterize that as happening "before any actual reading happens." :) FWIW, i think the forces you describe have been already happening for the better part of the last year...I'm unsure how this all resolves...

I cover all of this and more in a working paper: nber.org/papers/w33922. First line of abstract: This article corrects a 60-year history of mis-application of the neoclassical theory of investment to interpret empirical work and guide policy analysis.

Seems like a good time to note that @CEA47 under Kevin Hassett made an actual elementary analytical error in its analysis of TCJA. Amazingly, the error did not go in favor of making growth bigger. Details in the thread.

Want to estimate policy-relevant treatment effects without sketchy assumptions about a "pure control group"? @stFaridani and I just put out a user-friendlier revision of our solutions for this. Ping us if you want to try. arxiv.org/pdf/2209.14181

@alexolegimas @ATabarrok Equity financing has a place in physical capital markets, despite moral hazard costs. It would be kind of nuts if physical capital investments were financed entirely through debt. Why should human capital investments?

@mattyglesias The key is that childhood nbhd matters more than contemporaneous nbhd...we find no exposure effects on adults. It's less about living in a bad nbhd than growing up in one...we'd probably replicate the Finland graph above in the US when looking at adult exposure

Neighborhoods matter less to a child’s success than what his parents do, @HeckmanEquation & @EshaghniaSadegh argue, debunking the "ZIP code is destiny” idea. In reality, outcomes are due to attributes & actions of parents who self-sort into neighborhoods. bit.ly/469WWIR
