We often think of transportation infrastructure as a key driver of economic growth. And that’s true. But it also has a big environmental footprint -- one that’s often underestimated.

My pleasure! Thank you, @araujocrrafael.bsky.social, @franciscocosta.bsky.social, and Sant'Anna, for responding carefully, and ConGrat with an important publication @reveconstudies.bsky.social
Our paper on Amazon deforestation is out! Grateful to everyone who helped along the way. I'd like to highlight one thing that made a huge difference: clear and thoughtful guidance from the editor.
"This study estimates the carbon-efficient forest cover in the Brazilian Amazon. A $10/ton carbon tax could preserve 95% of the efficient carbon stock, avoiding 42B tons of CO2 & yielding $1.6T in welfare gains."

I am thinking of making my DiD materials that I used for teaching in the last 5 years available.
I am hoping these would find begineers in need of a step-by-step opinionated walkthrough of several developments
Let’s see if I find the energy to do this!
