Läuft noch nicht so mit der Digitalisierung am Amt in Österreich...

The German Car Industry released its 10 prios for climate neutral transport (i.e. EU 2035 ICE-ban).

Demanding lots of flexibility on target timing, PHEV, LDV & biofuels but stop short of asking for the ban to be scrapped entirely.

And this last one made me giggle...

The 1st future contract for #EUETS2 was released today. This is the first indication of what the eventual price might be: 73,57€/t

Far too early to judge this development, but a first signal. Academic exp. much higher than that. EC assuming 30-50€, price mech. in the regulation 45€ (~60€ indexed)

Bester Schutz für persönliche Daten ist überhaupt, dass man beim AKH kein einziges Mal seine Daten validieren muss - wenn ich die SozVers Nr. einer anderen (öffentlichen?) Person kenne, kann ich für diese Person einen Account mit meiner Telefonnummer erstellen.

Genial. Für was war ELGA nochmal?

Wir haben grds. in Österreich ja wirklich eine tolle IT Infrastruktur im Gesundheitsbereich. Die ELGA tickt echt viele Boxen - sicher (afaik), zentral und recht leicht verständlich.

Nur blöd, dass das kaum jemand verwendet... Ein kleiner Streifzug was man so mitmacht...

Is anyone familiar with the HICP indices by Eurostat? The harmonised index of consumer prices are great for comparing different countries, but I'd like to back out the original prices of items.

Any experiences with this?

Great article with two great graphs from the @rockymtninst.bsky.social

Fossil Fuel demand has peaked and we continue to underestimate the rate of change for clean technologies!!

One more time, back at it at #COP29 in Baku.

This time focused on #NCQG

Based on this data, we can also identify some general statements about which types of policies seem more effective than others.

In short: Carbon Pricing is an essential element of any future climate policy ambition. Other policies can be really effective too - but use them in combination.

We analysed emission pathways and identified those structural changes in 40+ countries in the crucial sectors of electricity, buildings, transport, and industry.

To dive deeper into countries or policies, check out our Climate Policy Explorer: climate-policy-explorer.shinyapps.io/climate-poli...

We use data on over 1500 implemented climate policies over the past 25 years and identify 63 instances of very successful, structural reductions in carbon emissions.

Each one of those instances is something to celebrate and they show: society is capable of rapid change.

Excited to be in DC to chat Climate-Macro-Modelling for Finance Ministries organised by the Treasury. Lots of potential tools to be developed so that MoFs can fully integrate climate into their decision making processes.

This test has already been implemented in the `gets` R-package.
Just e.g. run:
data(Nile)
isat(Nile, sis=FALSE, iis=TRUE, t.pval=0.01)

and the Outlier Distortion test is displayed automatically - alongside the Jiao-Pretis Outlier Proportion Test.

We show how this affects commonly used estimates of climate impacts - and also introduce a first estimate for climate adaptation based on income.

These results are similar to our Working Paper here: t.co/79mKII7lkz and show that income will play a huge role in damages.

Xmas coming early: Really excited to publish a paper in the Journal of Econometrics w Felix Pretis & Xiyu Jiao!

Here's a short thread about what we do - and how we show the effects of outliers when estimating damages from climate change.
