Schon seit dem Abschluss des🚦Koalitionsvertrags gibt es Streit um die Reform des #Klimaschutzgesetzes. Um was geht es dabei? Was ist die Rolle von #Sektorzielen? Wie ist die Interaktion von 🇩🇪nationaler und 🇪🇺EU-Ebene, v.a in Bezug auf ESR und #ETS2? Eine Einordnung: 1/n🧵

One week to go to apply for this exciting postdoc position identifying and reducing #AdministrativeBurden and #Sludge in Ireland's #ClimateAction Plan. ie.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=f… #economics, #behaviouralScience, #publicAdministration, #environmentalPolicy

Eating locally is not an effective way to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet. This is despite a recent paper in @NatureFoodJnl claiming that 'food miles' make up 20% of food emissions. In my latest Substack post I explain why this is wrong: hannahritchie.substack.com/p/food-miles

🚨🥁 New working paper: 🥁🚨 Employing the unemployed of Marienthal: Evaluation of a guaranteed job program (with @LukasLehner_) maxkasy.github.io/home/files/pap… Using multiple evaluation approaches, we find strong positive effects of a job guarantee for the long-term unemployed.

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects. I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars. Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy." 🧵

a new report on the state of climate action looked at 40 indicators of change and found not a single one is on track to keep the world from heating to the level at which world leaders promised to try to stop global warming 1/

@SeBerger_Lab Agree, also I think sometimes two teeth can trigger it.

Banning super-short haul flights is getting a lot of attention as a way to reduce aviation emissions. But how effective it would be in reducing emissions? In our new paper with Frédéric Dobruszkes & Laurette Mathieu we find: *very little*. doi.org/10.1016/j.jtra… (THREAD)

@AfricaBusPol @nikolajkornbech @shvidkjaer @CBScph @Egencia Yes, often more hassle to book the train across several countries, also risky getting all the connections. The first should be the easier fix. Just had a most enjoyable trip to Bern though.

“Nearly 100% of published studies… confirm the initial hypothesis. This is an amazing accomplishment given the complexity of the human mind and human behaviour. Somehow, as psychological scientists, we always find the expected result; we always win!” royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Glad to share a new behavioural study from @EU_Commission on #darkpatterns from the #consumerprotection perspective. Main takeaway: dark patterns are highly prevalent and unfairly distort the decisions of EU consumers. op.europa.eu/en/publication… 🧵A thread on the key findings: (1/4)

Great to see this paper out! In this paper, we provide empirical evidence on the risks associated with public outsourcing of healthcare services with incomplete contracts. Here is a short thread on the paper: (1/13)

Just out in Journal of Economic Perspectives: "Of Forking Paths and Tied Hands: Selective Publication of Findings, and What Economists Should Do about It" aeaweb.org/articles?id=10… Part of a symposium on statistical significance, with contributions by @tedmiguel & Imbens. 1/2

@RoedNielsen @emollick Looking at the effect sizes, we could surely bake them ourselves and would have used our time more efficiently. At least according to these metrics which I read have "some doubts of accuracy".

@emollick @janmbauer we could spend hours on improving our courses or ☝️. Maybe we can make a APP/PHD course on improving course evaluations. You know comparative approaches to the use of cookies in teaching

Hmmm... maybe student evaluations don't actually measure learning? Sections had the same teachers & curricula, except some were given cookies at the final class. In the class evaluation, teaching scores for the🍪group were much higher & they also reported they learned 20% more!
