Interesting set of questions. You would think economists wouldn't like standards much at all, but environmental economists are pretty aware of market failures, if anyone is. And environment justice has definitely grown as a topic, I see it at conferences all the time now! Altho, since 2025...

Curious about what environmental and natural resource economists think? Check out this research with @johnwhitehead81.bsky.social and Tim Haab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

☕️ Great start to the last day at the #AERE2025 Graduate Student Breakfast! Karen & Andrew reminded us that research takes persistence—and that economists bring key insights into environmental challenges. Huge thanks to both! 🌱🎓 #EconSky

Thanks to the Graduate Student Engagement Committee for organizing the event!

Sold a significant portion of my stock portfolio today. Probably should sell even more. It may not happen this month, it may not even happen this year, but make no mistake: Trump is driving this country off a cliff - economically, politically, morally. The future is bleak, my friends.

I called out a couple of students for using AI in an online discussion thread meant for extra credit. They immediately deleted all their posts, no argument whatsoever! I was surprised, tbh

Just had a reader of my latest book ask me if I'd mind if she let ChatGPT write the review of it on Goodreads for her... I mean, I'm glad people are reading my book! www.amazon.com/Seeking-Forg...

Almost all IDEAS pages now have a Bluesky symbol in the social media ribbon. Clicking on it creates a post including the page URL and, in the case of abstract pages, an image with title, author and abstract. Use this when mentioning an economics paper! ideas.repec.org #EconSky #RePEc

Gave my college students a practice question that utilized a "double-feature movie" as the example. They were like, What's a double-feature?? 😭

Lea Rachel @learachel.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Ok, I'll admit it, I joined Bluesky and one starter pack I chose to follow is #CatPics. Yet for 2 days now it says there are no posts of cats. This is unbelievable! #EconSky has more posts than #CatPics? This can't be!!!!! 🙀
