Our paper is officially out in The Review of Economic Studies with @jorgenja, Jonas Hamang and @tfharding Most climate policies targets fossil fuel consumption. We use global firm- and field-level data to ask what happens when policies are levied on oil production instead. /1

Great to see our research making its way into Norway's electricity pricing debate, with the minister weighing in. A good opportunity to highlight several other great papers from Norway contributing to the evidence that households are price-responsive (links in comments)

If only OECD countries adopt this policy, there is carbon leakage as the price increase triggers more production in other countries. This leakage amounts to 47-73% of the intended effect. /5

Uusi taloustiedettä, ekologiaa ja tilastotiedettä yhdistävä hanke alkaa. Tavoitteena on tutkia datan avulla luonnon ja talouden kytköksiä, ja miten luonnon arvo saadaan mukaan päätöksentekoon. Suuri kiitos Jane ja Aatos Erkon säätiölle rahoituksesta 🙏 helsinki.fi/fi/uutiset/kesta…

Our new publication is now forthcoming in AER:Insights, with @TuomasK4, Matti Liski and Iivo Vehviläinen. It is known that low-income households spend a larger income share on energy. Our main result adds a new dimension: they are also less able to adjust when prices rise /1

We find strong heterogeneity across income groups: higher-income households mainly respond by reducing electricity use, while lower-income households reduce it less and are more likely to respond through increased labor earnings, payment defaults, and cuts in other spending. /4
