3/ We find that increasing the R&D spending by 5 to 8% per year (every year) would offset the climate-induce slowdown by 2050 (panel B below).

This is a clear departure from recent trends (~0% growth since the 1970s) but it has been done before after WW1 & WW2 in the 1920s & 1950-60s.

Econ papers are long & have converged to a "stacking-dolls" model where shorter versions of the paper are "stacked into" the full version of the paper.

Title is the 8-10 word version
Abstract 100-150w
Intro 1.5-2k w
Paper 10-15k w

Why is this efficient? How does that influences writing? 1/

if I just swap png() to pdf() I get the first fig.

if I tweak the point size I get the second fig.

feel like some functions like mtext for labels and line widths don't translate well

I should add that these are complex figures with an irregular layout and lots of tweaking. Font size, lines, etc.
