Congratulations to Alain, one of the members of my PhD committee and an inspiration as a teacher and scholar. One of the best experiences of my PhD was being his TA for undergrad development. What a treat to sit in those lectures and listen to his field work stories

Joseph Shapiro@_josephshapiro20 Nov 2024
Much media interest today in how repealing electric vehicle tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act will affect EV sales e.g. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… One estimate: 27 percent decrease in sales relative to counterfactual, from Table 5 of joseph-s-shapiro.com/researc…

US Electric Vehicle Demand Seen Plunging 27% Without Tax Credit

Eliminating the US electric vehicle tax credit would dent future EV demand — perhaps by more than a fourth — while providing a trivial boost to gasoline consumption, economists estimate.
