Fact Sheet: Biden-Harris Administration Releases National Strategy to Put Nature on the Nation’s Balance Sheet | OSTP | The White House

Today, the Biden-Harris Administration released the final National Strategy to Develop Statistics for Environmental-Economic Decisions, a historic roadmap that will kick off a multi-year effort to put nature on the nation’s balance sheet for the first time, with an emphasis on better data to understand nature’s critical contributions to the U.S. economy and to guide policy…

Here again, I can only partly agree. There are parallels, but I don't think this is the strongest. In both climate change and orbit use, we're trading *valuable goods and services* (that improve people's lives!) against environmental quality (which also improves people's lives!) -- attributing everything to ignorance underplays the very real value people get from carbon/orbit-intensive goods/services

"How does #ClimateChange affect #education outcomes in the long-run? Co-author Maggie Liu will present "Climate Change and Intensification Effects: Evidence from Human Capital in India" (with Yogita Shamdasani) in an #AERE session at #ASSA2023
We find that higher temperatures reduce educational attainments in India; these effects are intensified over longer time periods; effects are concentrated in rural areas & are more pronounced for females"

I guess this is my #introduction post 😀, as I also made an account here fearing twitter's demise.

I am a PhD student in #EnvironEcon at Aarhus University, in #Denmark.

I also am part of a #Brazilian team of economists contributing to "Por Quê - Economês em bom Português". I write monthly opinion articles about environmental and natural resource economics issues, green economy and sustainable development in Brazil, in Folha de S.Paulo

So... Hello everyone 👋

A couple more general points about managing stock pollutants #EnvironEcon :

1. Marginal external cost vs expected MEC:

We often use E[MEC] in our models because we implicitly assume the regulator has to set the price before the damages are realized. This instrument lets us relax that assumption, since the regulator holds a big deposit.

A tradable performance bond for satellite disposal is a good idea for dealing with #spaceDebris. The idea has connections to new tools for managing stock pollutants (like CO2) more generally.

The idea is even better for satellites because it can support "in-situ assembly and manufacturing" (i.e. "building cool shit in space")
