Subsidies for clean cookstoves can abate carbon dioxide at only $7 per ton of CO2. We account for issues like imperfect additionality, stove breakage rates, non-usage or low usage by some buyers, and others. Read my article with @joshtdean.bsky.social in Climate Change Economics: lnkd.in/gw8hr9Mu

The latest JEP has an extraordinary set of papers on the economics of housing. My favorite? The one showing that most people incorrectly believe that increasing housing supply won't lower housing costs. Subsidizing home-buying is popular even though it raises costs. 🤦 www.aeaweb.org/issues/814

Can cookstove subsidies reduce CO2 emissions? @joshtdean.bsky.social and I wrote an overview of our research demonstrating that @BurnMfg's Jikokoa/EOCA Char stoves cut 3.5 tons of CO2 - and save $120 in fuel - per household per year. Read more here: linkedin.com/posts/activi...

Policymakers can support sustainable development by providing subsidies or financing for energy efficient technologies among low-income households.

The Jikokoa cookstove costs $40 but saves $120 per year in fuel savings, generating a large return on investment.

3.5 tons is the potential amount of CO2e the stove reduces each year from the production, transport, and burning of charcoal.

Texas won't let Kate Cox get an abortion even though her fetus has a fatal genetic anomaly and she is suffering agonizing, ongoing pain. She just sued in state court demanding the right to terminate the failed pregnancy immediately. reproductiverights.org/wp-content/u...

Ms. Cox’s physicians explained that some families with a trisomy 18 diagnosis
choose to continue their pregnancies, while others choose abortion. She was told that in her case,
there was virtually no chance that their baby would survive to birth or long afterwards, so Ms. Cox
asked about termination. Ms. Cox was shocked when her physician told her that due to Texas’s
abortion bans, as long as her baby had a heartbeat, she would not be able to obtain an abortion in
Texas. All they could do was continue to monitor the baby for cardiac activity. If the baby’s
heartbeat stopped, they could offer her a labor induction, but because of her prior C-sections,
induction carries a serious risk of uterine rupture. If the baby survived to term, Ms. Cox could
receive an induction or C-section, but it was clear to Ms. Cox that C-section was the safer option
for her health because of the risk of uterine rupture with induction given her prior two C-Sections.
Yet Ms. Cox’s physicians also explained that

Interrupting the current farce in the House are Jewish Voice for Peace activists staging a protest to demand a ceasefire in the Cannon House Office Building rotunda. (Photo from CNBC reporters on scene)

A picture of the Cannon rotunda. There is a large group of Jewish Voice for Peace protesters in black shirts holding signs that say things like "Let Gaza live" "ceasefire" "Philly Jews say Never Again Is Now" "Mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living." They fill the middle of the rotunda, many are sitting down. There are folks on the edges in yellow vests who I believe are law enforcement but may be marshals/observers/press? My eyes aren't that great.
