Why did so many U.S. coal plants shut down from 2005–2015? Some blame regulations—but a study co-authored by Josh Linn (AREC at UMD) points to market shifts. Read Linn’s Paper:
The roles of energy markets and environmental regulation in reducing coal‐fired plant profits and electricity sector emissions
Between 2005 and 2015, US electricity sector emissions of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide, which harm human health and the environment, declined by two thirds, and many coal-fired power plants bec...

1/ How do climate shocks reshape lives inside households? 🏠🌍
My #EconJMP explores how climate shocks can change the way household members share resources, deepening intrahousehold inequalities. This has important implications for climate resilience and policy design. #EconSky
