If you are in Cambridge, don't miss out on this session including fascinating papers by @mickeygb.bsky.social
and @benmoll.bsky.social

This has also substantial effects on the U.S. economy

Using this as an instrument in a semi-structural model of global shipping markets, we document pervasive macroeconomic effects:
July 10, 2025 at 2:54 PM
We quantify the market impact of these disruptions by measuring how shipping rates change in a narrow window around the events. In this way, we obtain some plausibly exogenous variation in shipping rates
July 10, 2025 at 2:54 PM
We perform a detailed narrative account of disruptive events at these choke points, including collisions, groundings or extreme weather events. I am sure you remember Ever Given, but there are many more:

Our idea: Global trade is heavily reliant on maritime trade, which in turn relies on a few key choke points: the Panama and the Suez canal

Shipping costs are a key barometer for supply chain pressures. However, they are influenced by both demand and supply. How can we isolate the effects of an exogenous supply chain disruption?

Very excited to present some new work on the macroeconomic effects of supply chain disruptions at the @nber.org SI, joint with my brilliant student Ramya Raghavan!

I also have wonderful co-authors presenting some new joint work. @adrienbilal.bsky.social is presenting a new project on climate change and monetary policy

Really looking forward to this year's #SEDmeeting
in Copenhagen. If you are around, check out this cool session on shipping trends and disruptions, happening this Saturday from 13:30 to 15:00:

These shocks have meaningful effects on oil prices and the macroeconomy:

In recent years, there have been some large OPEC surprises in oil markets:

Indeed, we show in a bottom-up exercise that aggregates the local impacts of temperature and extremes, that they are quantitatively important to reconcile our global temperature effect

.. through a stark increase in the frequency of damaging extreme events
January 23, 2025 at 3:36 AM
And indeed, when we do a horse race between land and ocean temperature shocks, we find that ocean temperature drive the aggregate effect

Comparing these costs to Marginal Abatement Costs reveals that unilateral decarbonization of over 80% of economic activity is cost-effective for both regions. This finding challenges the conventional view that such efforts are only viable under global coordination.

🌎Does unilateral decarbonization pay for itself? In our new working paper, @adrienbilal.bsky.social and I analyze whether large economies like the U.S. and E.U. can justify broad decarbonization policies based purely on domestic economic benefits.
