I've been working with @melissadgentry.bsky.social for the past year and have learned so much from her about the economics of living with disabilities. She's hard-working, deep-thinking, kind, fun, and everything you'd want in a colleague!

We find, if anything, larger effects at lower pollution levels, in line with concave marginal damages.
Or, improved air quality might take longer than a session to improve behaviors.
We need more research on the mechanism behind pollution effects on productivity in the workplace. 4/4

Engagement/quality of interactions/politeness don't seem to improve despite evidence that PM affects aggression & stress in other contexts.
Why? 3/4

In the past couple of years we randomly put air purifiers at economics conferences to see if better indoor air quality improves engagement and interactions, which are key to knowledge transfer in our jobs.
Findings:
PM2.5 are halved within the first presentation! 🌬️
But... 2/4

DP20676 Air Quality and Conferences' Engagement There is limited evidence on the non-health impacts of air pollution, including productivity in the workplace and behavior. We examine the effect of air pollution on participation, collaboration, and feedback provision in a workplace setting. Our experiment randomly assigns air purifiers to rooms at three large academic conferences to investigate the causal impact of air pollution on participants' engagement behavior. We construct a participant engagement index based on 12 presentation-level behavioral outcomes directly measured by conference observers through an online form and weigh each behavioral outcome using weights elicited from an expert survey. Conference rooms treated with air purifiers exhibit 48% less PM2.5 concentration compared to control rooms. However, we do not find a statistically significant change in engagement. Communication in the workplace might not be a large driver of the empirical relationship between air quality and productivity, albeit more research is needed across workplaces and measures of communication.

We have a new CEPR Discussion Paper

Do you mean with principal component? We can. Not sure it's ideal.

Happy rejection day to all those who celebrate.
Here's to mean and careless reviews: may they come back and bite you where the sun don't shine.

The way I understand this from summaries is that it allows to control for stuff but not to estimate the effect of stuff if that's also what you care about. But I'll read the actual paper.

Hey #EconSky:
Suppose i have a bunch of variables, quite correlated, describing public transit accessibility of nbds. I want to get the causal effect of public transit accessibility on Y. How bad is it if I LASSO, then OLS on selected vars?
