But there is an underlying core to this statement that we should take seriously. ->

And Ilona is on the market this year! Hire her before your neighbour does! 👍
Empirical evidence that subsidies for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) resulted in consumers purchasing larger and heavier vehicles - which, on top, were seldom charged. The elimination of subsidies for PHEV would have led to a yearly reduction of 167,139 tons of carbon emissions in Germany.

We tend to focus on the short-term trends, but it's worth taking a step back: Inflation has come down a *lot* from its peak. Headline now down to 3% y/y. Core at 3.5%. Those are still above the Fed's target and prepandemic levels, but it's a radically different story than a year ago.

What many people don't know: recent decades have seen incredible reductions in poverty. The poverty rate has *never before* been this low in human history.
What new data is now revealing: after the setback from Covid, poverty reduction now continues!

Imagine that you are interested in estimating the effect of incarceration on labor earnings. You can use the random allocation of judges and the fact that they have different leniency rates to identify a weighted integral of Marginal Treatment Effects.

Looking forward to Nate's talk at the workshop!
I'm looking forward to the UZH Market Power Workshop. My talk is "Industrial Organization and the Rise of Market Power." It will cover 8 IO studies on specific industries over long time horizons, with the goal of identifying commonalities and understanding differences. Hope to see some of you there.
