Exploring whether misperceptions about air pollution contribute to environmental inequality in the US, from Matthew A. Tarduno and Reed Walker https://www.nber.org/papers/w34116
Excited to have this WP out!
We use a real-stakes survey experiment to measure misperceptions about air pollution/health impacts & test whether updating beliefs changes WTP for clean air
We find large misperceptions, but not strong evidence that rectifying these would close Black-White WTP gaps

The evidence keeps accumulating that Brexit was an astonishing self-inflicted economic policy disaster. The fact that it is a slow-moving one bodes ill for those who think that populist economic mismanagement will translate into voters punishing populists. www.nber.org/system/files...

Economists often tie their discount rates to market interest rates. Why?

It is scandalous that speed cameras are currently illegal in Massachusetts. Thankfully, the 2026 budget tries to change this

I’m proud that my speed camera pilot program is now being implemented.
This will protect Minnesotans by reducing reckless driving and speeding.
These cameras will capture the license plates of speeding drivers and the city will mail a ticket to their home. So, drive carefully!
