Honored to be named to @PoetsAndQuants Best 40-Under-40 MBA Profs List! Deepest thanks to my incredible colleagues and students @MITSloan for their support. And a special shoutout to my fiancé @markduggan_econ for always believing in me!

Meant to also thank my former colleagues at @UniofOxford for kick-starting my career, where I also had the pleasure of advising my first two fantastic PhD students, @sugandhasri and Yangsiyu Lu!
Looking forward to this! FYI for those that are interested - registration is now free.
The line-up features keynotes from @OxfordSBS's Tim Jenkinson, @ForwardCities' @FayHorwitt_FC & @KauffmanFDN's @Phil_Gaskin and a panel discussion between our Chief Economist Gerald Cohen, @EshipAtDuke's Eric Toone & @MITSloan's @JacquelynPless.

As a #firstgen, my family will never fully understand what it means to get tenure, but they do appreciate what it means to become a homeowner 🥂
Trying something new in my innovation strategy class: we're building a collaborative Spotify playlist. Contributions must be justified as explicitly relating to a class topic. Thoughts on whether this experiment will be a success or an embarrassing failure? Will report back.

I hope you find the post useful.
Just published my new @OurWorldInData post:
• Why did renewables become so cheap so fast?
→ And what can we do to use this global opportunity for green growth?

Had so much fun participating in the @AEACSWEP mentoring workshop for women and non-binary PhD students yesterday. Such a great reminder of the amazing and inspirational people in our profession. Thank you @maya_rossin and @jenniferdoleac for organizing!

Pulling pints and planting pines - both immensely valuable economic tasks - one more compatible with social distancing and a green recovery. Nice piece from @TheEconomist: Never let a crisis go to waste – The pressure to make the post-covid rebound green economist.com/briefing/2020/…

How can energy research funding evaluation challenges can be overcome systematically? @JacquelynPless, @camjhep and Niall Farrell discuss go.nature.com/2PPrusX
How does public spending impact #cleanenergy #innovation? We still know surprisingly little. @camjhep, @farrellniall, and I discuss (methodological) challenges & solutions to generating a wider evidence base that can inform energy innovation policy design. @NatureEnergyJnl.

Thanks for having me last week, @UVMecon! It was great to be back to my alma mater and to visit all of my fantastic mentors.
#UVMEcon grad @JacquelynPless, now at @MITSloan, gave a great talk here last week! Read about her path to economics:

Great summary of an important AER comment by @LinusMattauch et al. With corrections to the Earth science, the implications for climate policy are starkly different. We do indeed need a carbon tax today - one that is high and increases over time.
#ClimateChange
This is a VERY important comment in the AER: aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.12…
In an earlier AER paper, Lemoine and Rudik (2017) argue that it is efficient to delay reducing carbon emissions due to supposed inertia in the climate system's response to emissions. @ret_ward @LinusMattauch
I use data to try to understand how to drive innovation that protects the environment and people.
Your turn @PennyMealy @yangsiyulu @sugandhasri @brettwjordan @Sefi_Roth_ @_ClaireConnelly @BerkouwerS @EugenieDugoua @JonathanColmer @bryanparthum @bcshaffer @cjwich
I use optimization-based models of electricity systems to inform engineering and policy decisions.
