I try to be open minded when people engage with climate issues, but this kind of argument about AC is really very silly. You only need replace “cooling” with “heating” to see that using appliances/energy to protect against temperature extremes should not be viewed as some kind of moral sin.

This is very inconsistent with the evidence from top public finance papers.
Their mobility elasticity is high, and is higher for state/local taxes.

Nice to hear @rmetcalfe.bsky.social on @rff.org's Resources Radio podcast. The discussion covers some cool new research with my colleague @sjroth.bsky.social on indoor air pollution. Worth a listen.
Seeing the Invisible: Responses to Indoor Air Pollution, with Robert D. Metcalfe
Robert D. Metcalfe discusses his recent study of indoor air pollution levels in homes and how people respond when made aware of their exposure.

Last week I took thirty of our fantastic environmental economics masters students on a trip out to an offshore wind farm. Lots of interesting discussion about renewable energy, plus there was time for fish & chips on the beach. All in all, a great day out!

New paper with @rmetcalfe.bsky.social on Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) in London - striking findings!
🔍 38% of the time, it exceeds WHO standards
⚖️ Hits lower-income households harder
💡 Real-time info cuts pollution by 34% during peak times
💷 People value cleaner air and are willing to pay for it

So much of our research on air pollution is focused on outdoor pollution, but indoors is where we spend 90% of our time. This is a really nice paper with some compelling findings!
Interesting new NBER working paper: Most people worry about outdoor air pollution, but, in many homes, indoor air is worse. A field experiment in London tested whether showing people their indoor pollution levels in real time might change behavior and finds a 17% reduction. 🧵
