The pen is magical in that it can sometimes allow us to live life twice. That is exactly what happened when I revisited my very first field experiment that I conducted for scientific purposes. I have revised it (lightly) and just made it a formal working paper: ideas.repec.org/p/feb/framed...
Valuing Non-Marketed Goods and Services Using a List Field E

Climate psychologists are often the first to say: ‘information alone doesn't change green behavior’ ❌
Particularly where big cost/convenience barriers exist
But 85% of us report knowing little about how to be green 📉

If you want to read one paper to understand wildfire insurance markets in CA, it’s this one.
It is an absolute fantastic read and shows exactly why some insurers pulled out of the market.

Don't forget: Climate change is a working class issue.
Why? ⬇️
Climate issues fuel the cost-of-living crisis
🛢️ Volatile oil prices fuel inflation
📈 Hotter temps spike utility bills
💸 Extreme weather inflates home insurance bills
🛒 Climate breakdown increases food costs
