Do carbon offsets work? Evidence from the world’s largest offset programme

Thanks to @nberpubs.bsky.social for summarizing our study on payments for ecosystem services (PES). With a simple contract tweak, the cost to conserve additional forest thru PES plummeted. The cost per hectare shown here maps to permanently averting a ton of CO2 for <$5. www.nber.org/digest/20241...

in brief... Designing carbon markets that deliver change
Ever since the European Union created its market-based carbon policy, governments and businesses have been keen to assess its impact. Jonathan Colmer, Ralf Martin, Mirabelle Muûls and Ulrich Wagner explain why analysing the effectiveness of such policies can be complex - and why hard proof that carbon markets can achieve what they set out to do is scarce.

The Environmental Inequality Lab team have been working to build frameworks for real-time analysis of natural disasters and extreme weather events. The goal is to forecast vulnerability, identifying who, rather than just where, will be exposed.

If you're a senior male economist and would be interested in discussing the drafting of an open letter re the newly announced IZA leadership change, e-mail me.
Female econs are rightly tired of the burden of such efforts falling on them.

#Econsky We're looking to hire someone to help us level up our graphics/figures/presentation of results? Has anyone done this before. We have in mind someone who can work on a project-by-project basis, rather than hiring someone in-house.
