Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 21/04/2026p.s. Appreciate the study’s quiet jab: quoting Hayek’s “Pretence of Knowledge” speech… One wonders who that might be aimed at 👀 120
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 21/04/2026The study also points out that existing methodologies massively underestimate (compared to other countries) the potential of batteries to react to dynamic pricing. This leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy - without considering innovative dynamics, we're bound to end up in an old (fossil) world. 110
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 21/04/2026It does so by pointing out that the existing analysis by the @bnetza.bsky.social uses inadequate and outdated assumptions and parameters (with cost differences across studies in other EU countries by factors of 2-56 for the same parameter). 110
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Bombshell study that questions a key German electricity market policy. tldr: DON'T SUBSIDISE NEW GAS PLANTS WITH PUBLIC MONEY! Most interestingly: it was not (only) commissioned by the renewable industry but (i.a.) by one of DE's main business lobby groups (@dihk.bsky.social)! A 🧵analysing it: 194
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 22/02/2026In today's edition of "Datasets from Hell": The UK ONS switches from Financial Year (April to March funnily) to Calendar Year and then again back to Financial Year in one dataset. #datasetsfromhell #rstats #EconSky 141
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 21/12/2025"In 2004, it took the world a full year to install 1 gigawatt of solar power capacity. Today, twice that amount goes online each day." 22612
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 06/10/2025Läuft noch nicht so mit der Digitalisierung am Amt in Österreich... 020
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 10/06/2025The German Car Industry released its 10 prios for climate neutral transport (i.e. EU 2035 ICE-ban). Demanding lots of flexibility on target timing, PHEV, LDV & biofuels but stop short of asking for the ban to be scrapped entirely. And this last one made me giggle... www.vda.de/en/press/pre... 010
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 06/05/2025The 1st future contract for #EUETS2 was released today. This is the first indication of what the eventual price might be: 73,57€/t Far too early to judge this development, but a first signal. Academic exp. much higher than that. EC assuming 30-50€, price mech. in the regulation 45€ (~60€ indexed) 221
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Bester Schutz für persönliche Daten ist überhaupt, dass man beim AKH kein einziges Mal seine Daten validieren muss - wenn ich die SozVers Nr. einer anderen (öffentlichen?) Person kenne, kann ich für diese Person einen Account mit meiner Telefonnummer erstellen. Genial. Für was war ELGA nochmal? 020
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Wir haben grds. in Österreich ja wirklich eine tolle IT Infrastruktur im Gesundheitsbereich. Die ELGA tickt echt viele Boxen - sicher (afaik), zentral und recht leicht verständlich. Nur blöd, dass das kaum jemand verwendet... Ein kleiner Streifzug was man so mitmacht... 120
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 09/03/2025Is anyone familiar with the HICP indices by Eurostat? The harmonised index of consumer prices are great for comparing different countries, but I'd like to back out the original prices of items. Any experiences with this? ec.europa.eu/eurostat/dat... #econsky 010
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Great article with two great graphs from the @rockymtninst.bsky.social Fossil Fuel demand has peaked and we continue to underestimate the rate of change for clean technologies!! 213043
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 11/11/2024One more time, back at it at #COP29 in Baku. This time focused on #NCQG 140
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 06/09/2024Based on this data, we can also identify some general statements about which types of policies seem more effective than others. In short: Carbon Pricing is an essential element of any future climate policy ambition. Other policies can be really effective too - but use them in combination. 1147
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 06/09/2024We analysed emission pathways and identified those structural changes in 40+ countries in the crucial sectors of electricity, buildings, transport, and industry. To dive deeper into countries or policies, check out our Climate Policy Explorer: climate-policy-explorer.shinyapps.io/climate-poli... 130
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 06/09/2024We use data on over 1500 implemented climate policies over the past 25 years and identify 63 instances of very successful, structural reductions in carbon emissions. Each one of those instances is something to celebrate and they show: society is capable of rapid change. 13111
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 22/04/2024Excited to be in DC to chat Climate-Macro-Modelling for Finance Ministries organised by the Treasury. Lots of potential tools to be developed so that MoFs can fully integrate climate into their decision making processes. 000
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 23/12/2023This test has already been implemented in the `gets` R-package. Just e.g. run: data(Nile) isat(Nile, sis=FALSE, iis=TRUE, t.pval=0.01) and the Outlier Distortion test is displayed automatically - alongside the Jiao-Pretis Outlier Proportion Test. 100
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 23/12/2023We show how this affects commonly used estimates of climate impacts - and also introduce a first estimate for climate adaptation based on income. These results are similar to our Working Paper here: t.co/79mKII7lkz and show that income will play a huge role in damages. 100
Moritz Schwarz @moritzpschwarz.bsky.social · 23/12/2023Xmas coming early: Really excited to publish a paper in the Journal of Econometrics w Felix Pretis & Xiyu Jiao! Here's a short thread about what we do - and how we show the effects of outliers when estimating damages from climate change. 164
