hey lovelies, I finally got around to publicly sharing my compilation of big tech energy and emissions data. I'll be using it in articles, posts etc but it's yours too, free to use (w/ attribution is nice) ketanjoshi.co/2025/05/23/d...

Of course, my study only looks at the case of the US and may not be generalizable to other countries with different comp. advantages. This may be a reason why international cooperation is all the more important. (end)

this pro-env effect decreases as the average level of GVC integration increases. In other words, disguised protectionism works in very nuanced ways. More importantly, trade is not necessarily the enemy of environment. (4/n)

On the other hand, I find some evidence for disguised protectionism, but conditional on low GVC integration: Although env bills with trade effects are more likely to gain a pro-env vote with increased imports (which could be explained by an increased in demands for disguised protectionism) (3/n)

I argue that an increase in imports weakened the 'dirty' industries in the US insofar as it opened up room for more environmental support among the US legislators. This is in line with classical econ theories that predict a decline in industries with comp. disadvantage. (2/n)

Hi, climate and political science bluesky! I am designing a new undergrad course, and would love to get some recommendations for papers on political economy of climate change (broadly defined) by authors from historically underrepresented groups! 🙏

The fire that took out my town, did so without regard to the politics of the home owners. Solutions should be apolitical as well. Nice piece by my friend, Joe Árvai. How the oil industry and growing political divides turned climate change into a partisan issue theconversation.com/how-the-oil-...

How the oil industry and growing political divides turned climate change into a partisan issue

The climate policy pendulum is swinging back again with Trump in office. Money, lobbying and talking about red vs. blue states all play a role in the political and public divide.

On Dec 3, 2024, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law. 600+ political scientists of South Korea condemned this in a joint statement, urging impeachment. **We ask political scientists worldwide to please read & sign in support**: bit.ly/3Bfxc2j

I don’t want to follow Korean politics, but at this point I have to. 🤦‍♀️ Can’t believe this happened in 2024.

Of course I don’t mean to claim that more international economic competition is always beneficial for the environment, because my study only deals with the US. However, my results suggest that reconciling liberal economic order and env protection is possible.

I test whether representatives from districts with bigger trade shocks vote more favorably on env. bills using congressional roll call votes classified by the LCV. I find that legislators vote more pro-environmentally when there is a bigger import shock.

I argue that international economic competition can contribute to environmental protection in the US. How? Because trade shocks hurt the dirty industries more given the US comparative disadvantage in dirty goods.

Just received my first R&R for a solo-authored paper! 🥳 The paper (also my JMP) started out as my QE project, won the best QE award, and gave me many headaches. A short 🧵

I am presenting a poster at APSA later today! - @tbalogh.bsky.social and I look at whether a party known for prioritizing the economy enjoys an advantage over parties known for prioritizing the environment. If you are free at 2pm, come and say hello :)

@bsky.app increased the size of Start Packs from 50 to 150, so I consolidated the two Starter Packs of journalists who work on climate, energy, and the environment. I hope it’s useful. Please let me know if there’s someone else I should add. Please share on other platforms as well!

I'm going to do a big update on the Greensky list sometime in the next few days + put some real effort into tuning and improving the keyword filter If you are someone who works on or posts mostly about climate, submit here! It's meant to be very broad and inclusive docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I heard that junior scholars are often ‘meaner’ reviewers. However, according to my advisor, both the quantity and quality of the papers that he receives now (as a full professor) are significantly different (as in better) from those he reviewed in his early career. 🤔

I’ve been waiting for something exciting to happen for my first post here, and here it is - My dissertation project was selected for @apsa.bsky.social DDRIG! 🥳 So happy and honored! I’m excited that I finally get to run my experiment on how protectionism affects support for climate change policies 🤓
