Are low-skilled workers the losers of the green transition? My JMP tests the skill-bias of green technology. I show that firms increase their demand for highly educated workers in manufacturing and transportation – in most other sectors, green technology favours workers without higher education 1/3

Skjønner! Verdt å merke seg en liten regnefeil på akkurat den strekningen: 30+35x2=100 kr.

Terskeler - som dyre sonegrenser - er generelt uheldig. Treffer ulikt og gir skjeve insentiver. Hva står i veien for avstandsprising, pluss evt påslag for OSL (eller feks Oslo sentrum)? Er rushtidsprising del av diskusjonen?

Kirill, Xavier, and I tried hard to make this useful to wide groups of readers: new users of shift-share IVs, experienced users, and even those who don't know they that they are users

Hvordan kan vi begrense tapet av natur når vi bygger vindkraftverk?
Forskere har undersøkt to tiltak som ikke er bruk i dag: naturavgift på vindkraftverk og krav om restaurering av natur. Studien viser at begge kan fungere etter hensikten.

The job-market paper by @marenhedne.bsky.social can tell you something very important wrt whether the green transition is politically feasible.
She asks: Is new green technology is skill-based, so that only highly educated workers will benefit?

Are you worried that climate policies will be infeasible because low-skilled workers are harmed? That isn’t necessarily the case – and seems likely to depend on the type of technology and sector where the transition occurs.

The explanation? Technology adoption is less skill-biased than innovation, and green technologies compliment different tasks in different sectors. Read more here: marenhedne.com/research/ 2/3
