Great paper, exciting to see it in print. I'm always interested in papers on strategic behavior in environmental policy.

Big fan of this paper and I'm glad it found a home. Environmental infrastructure spending is understudied compared to its budget.

Had an amazing time at the utility disconnections workshop last week organized by @energyjustlab.bsky.social. Thanks so much to David, Sanya,and Alison. A big takeaway for me is how much I learned from qualitative researchers in the area. Sheesh they know so much.

When that round of gas dispersed I finally got around to 26th Street a block back from the police. The Minnesota state police were the riot cops, and they had riot guns, for shooting tear gas and rubber bullets. The ICE guys were behind them, on Nicollet, and several of them were standing there with long guns. A lot of angry people in the crowd were yelling at the state police: “Why are you looking at us! Turn around and arrest those guys! They just killed a Minnesotan. Who are you protecting?”

CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.
