“Because it combines #technological waves with #macroeconomic quantities, this is such an important graph (quibbles about quantification aside)” open.substack.com/pub/adamtooz...

Global #temperature correlates strongly with extreme climatic events.

In a new paper, exploiting natural global temperature variability, researchers find that 1ºC warming reduces world #GDP by over 20% in the long run.

This implicates that the #macroeconomic damages from #climate change are an order of magnitude larger than previously thought.

" #oil shocks transmit unevenly through #labor #markets with lasting impacts across #countries #sectors and demographic groups, extending well beyond short-term #macroeconomic fluctuations"

This disruption is not a blip - horrifying impacts will continue for the poorest and most vulnerable folks for a long long time!

Listened to a very interesting presentation of FINGREEN #model, the under-development Finnish adaptation of the EUROGREEN #macroeconomic #sustainability #transition model. Very good to get alternatives to currently dominant and rather one-sided DSGE models! people.unipi.it/simone_dales...

EUROGREEN MODEL - Simone D'Ale...
The model is intended to study policy interventions & their effects on Circular Economy transition, & endogenously generate scenarios of market evolution. Its outputs are passed to an Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model, which then computes #macroeconomic and #environmental impacts.
