Super cool #EconJMP by Hayeon on policy intensity and loopholes.

Check out the paper and her other work at: sites.google.com/view/hayeonj...
I'm happy to share my #JMP on the relationship between policy intensity and effectiveness!

It challenges the idea that stricter policies are always more effective by showing that policy avoidance rises with stringency during the early period of implementation.

Excited to see this paper published! @kimberlyoremus.bsky.social & I find that US plastic bag policies *limit* (but not eliminate) plastic bag litter in the environment, using cool citizen science data from @oceanconservancy.org.

The bad news: Mountains of plastic are piling up in oceans, choking marine life.

The good news: Plastic bag bans work, a new peer-reviewed study confirms.

Excited that our new study was published today in Science.

We found that plastic bag bans and fees reduce plastic bag litter on shorelines by 25-47% compared to places without them: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... w/ @annapappp.bsky.social

I can confirm this is an awesome gig during grad school - I loved being the AERE social media manager. It's a nice way to meet AERE leadership, read (abstracts) of JAERE papers, attend the annual conference, etc.

Current students - feel free to reach out w/ questions if interested!

For those considering #veganuary, a little plug for a piece I wrote about veganism, one of the best things in my life, last Earth Day. (It's a comic - goes down easy!)

I gave up meat and gained so much more
The delightful abundance of going vegan.

I'm on the job market! My #EconJMP examines climate adaptation inequality in labor markets (see ⬇️).

This is part of my research on the effects of climate change/plastic pollution on workers & society - often with unique data & an interdisciplinary lens.
