Join us in Potsdam on May 22nd for the third Applied Causal Graphs Workshop!

Glad to have had the chance to present our work on climate policy mixes & green innovation at the @uvic.ca Economics Department & talk about econometrics w @felixpretis.bsky.social this week. Vancouver Island is such a beautiful place. On a good day, you can see as far as the Olympic National Park!

CAUSAL GRAPHS ➡️ HAPPINESS. 😍 Agree?
& Work in/around Berlin? 🐻
Sign up for the 2026 Applied Causal Graphs Workshop! 🌟
Deadline Feb 28th ⬇️

This 3rd edition is hosted by the great folks at Uni Potsdam 💡

I'll be visiting @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social's @besiberkeley.bsky.social (BESI) for the next months, continuing my work on causal inference, green industrial policy, and climate policy evaluation. Thanks to @jonasmeckling.bsky.social for hosting me at BESI! Anyone in for a coffee in the Bay?

I presented our paper on clean innovation and policy mixes (with @technolowicz and others) at the Verein für Socialpolitik Annual Conference last week in Cologne. The conference was truly great! #VfS_Conf2025 @vfsecon.bsky.social

I really enjoyed participating in the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists' (#AERE2025) Summer Conference for the first time last week, presenting my paper on double machine learning (#DML) & electricity market decarbonization (joint work w/ Nicolas Koch & @philippbach.bsky.social)

I am very much looking forward to teaching @hertieschool.bsky.social this spring term, as the TA for Causal Inference (starring @conjugateprior.org and many causal graphs) in Hertie's Master in Data Science for Public Policy.

Join us on March 4 for the second edition of our Berlin-Brandenburg Applied Causal Graphs Workshop! I'm glad @jlrohmann.bsky.social & team took over this year. It's interdisciplinary, it's fun, and it's open to all. Send us your abstracts & DAGs, I'll be handling the econ/socsci/climate submissions

Flyer for 2025 Applied Causal Graphs Workshop in Berlin, to be held on March 4th, 9:00-17:30 at the Charité Virchow Klinikum. Accepting abstracts until Feb 7th, 2025. Additional information at applied-causal-graphs.de

We're looking to connect Berlin & Brandenburg researchers working with causal graphs from all disciplines!

Save the date: 9th Conference on Econometric Models of Climate Change (EMCC) will be at the University of Victoria BC, Canada, Aug. 27-28, 2025.

Come if you want to learn about climate and econometrics (or just want to visit Vancouver Island...) Formal call for papers to follow in 2025. #EconSky

I'm trying to compete with @stephenjwild.bsky.social's DAG People starter pack, because economists believe in competition Open to suggestions! go.bsky.app/Fa2XSDH

I love all of these, though I'm not sure I'd use any of them if I were just introducing someone to causal methods. Here are a few I find myself recommending a lot:

Carbon taxes and carbon border tariffs interact in complex and sometimes surprising ways, presented here with simple intuition and only the basic principles of supply and demand, from Claire Brunel and Arik Levinson https://www.nber.org/papers/w33024

Had the pleasure of giving a workshop on causal mediation analysis (exploring causal mechanisms of treatment variables) at the Mercator Research Institute in #Berlin. A huge thank you to @patrickkloesel.bsky.social and colleagues for hosting me and for the engaging, insightful discussions!

I added dozens of active poasters to this Starter Pack of individual accounts bcz Bluesky raised the pack limit from 50 to 150, including

Climate policies that achieved major emission reductions: Global evidence from two decades Meeting the Paris Agreement’s climate targets necessitates better knowledge about which climate policies work in reducing emissions at the necessary scale. We provide a global, systematic ex post eval...

A few days ago, we published an article in Science. Time for a short post about it.

We tried to contribute to an important debate: How well are we actually reducing our carbon emissions?

Many Climate Policies Struggle to Cut Emissions, Study Finds The most effective ones tend to combine several emissions-cutting strategies, not a stand-alone approach, according to an examination of 1,500 policies globally.

'Many #ClimatePolicies Struggle to Cut Emissions' reports the @nytimes.com on new PIK study. The most effective policies tend to combine several emissions-cutting strategies (paywall!). www.nytimes.com/2024/08/22/c...

🆕Evaluation of #climatepolicy over 2 decades: A global PIK study of 1,500 #climatepolicies, published in the journal Science, shows most failed to cut emissions. Only 63 cases saw a 19% average reduction. The key? Tax & price incentives in smart policies.
