@HannahEDaly In addition to the other responses "Renewables" by @MichaelAklin and @jurpelai; Planetary Economics by @MichaelGrubb9 on carbon pricing in particular, e.g. EU failed 90s CO2 tax, but also energy taxation in general (e.g. Clinton BTU tax). David Victor, esp. for the intl. angle.
@HannahEDaly @MichaelAklin @jurpelai @MichaelGrubb9 Of course, Australia's carbon tax provides ample fodder. Not seeing a paper in my records just now but a good start might be:

@HannahEDaly @MichaelAklin @jurpelai @MichaelGrubb9 @JesseJenkins has at least two papers on political failures and constraints focusing on carbon pricing: scholar.google.com/citations?hl=e…
@HannahEDaly @MichaelAklin @jurpelai @MichaelGrubb9 @JesseJenkins In her PhD thesis @leahstokes has good analysis on US RPS roll backs. dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/…
@HannahEDaly @leahstokes We are all eagerly waiting for Leah's book on these issues. This paper of hers was also an interesting read to me about implementation challenges. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
@HannahEDaly @leahstokes This is the framework I have used in presentations based on my practical experience in climate policy and the literature but unpublished.

New MIT paper corroborates narrative that 100% renewable pathway would probably be more expensive than incorporating other low-carbon sources. For strident climate hawks this might raise the question: why do we care so much about costs? 1. news.mit.edu/2018/adding-po…
After all, no policy is ever 100% cost-effective. Society has always tolerated some inefficiency, to a large extent because democratic politics requires messy compromises. 2.
But aiming to achieve cost-efficiency asymptotically, striving towards but while knowing we will never reach it, is still a worthwhile thing to do and there are good reasons that price-insensitive climate hawks should care about cost-efficiency. 3.

Four key reasons why far-right, illiberal 'anti-forces' (anti-#EU; anti-€; anti-migration) not likely to form sustainable coalition after #EUelections2019: (1) protagonists (like Salvini, Le Pen or Órban) quarrel over who should lead #AntiForces -> no one willing to subordinate;
(2) #AntiForces follow different strategies vis-à-vis ‘old establishment’ -> some ready to enter coalitions with mainstream parties (see e.g. FPÖ in A), others exclude any form of cooperation;
(3) far-right forces subscribe to different policy recipes in key areas such as migration, especially concerning solidarity dimension between member states, or regarding foreign policy (e.g. relationship with Russia);

The @UE expose of @BP_plc lobbying for relaxing US rules on emissions of methane, powerful greenhouse gas, shows split in oil majors, and possibly directions of travel
unearthed.greenpeace.org/2019/03/12/bp-…
By contrast, Greenpeace are no friend of @Shell , but they are publicly calling for *tightening* of those same methane emissions rules
reuters.com/article/us-cer…
and Shell is clearly setting out to be a different kind of energy company with ambition to be world's biggest power generator in 15 years time (although gas clearly playing a big role, not just #renewables) ft.com/content/87cfc3…

0/ #CO is poised to join #WY in providing safe harbor from securities laws for consumptive tokens. #MT also introduced a similar bill. I want to highlight why I think this is important and what points I hope the SEC considers as it prepares additional guidance.
1/ This legislation builds on a core idea from #WY: It must be possible for entrepreneurs to develop and sell software that is inherently consumptive in nature (i.e., not a passive financial instrument and intrinsically is for use/consumption) w/o implicating securities laws.
2/ The SEC seems to agree and so have regulators/policymakers in just about every other developed nation. The difficulty arises, however, in defining the boundaries of this principle - stated differently, when if ever is usable software actually a security?

Why do we keep falling short on #carbon pricing? (And what to do about it)

A thread on how policy can accelerate the pace of progress towards a low-carbon #energy system commensurate with the threat posed by #climatechange...
Putting a price on carbon.

The IPCC report on holding global warming to 1.5°C released Sunday calls for it. A share of the Nobel in Economics was awarded to William Nordhaus this week for championing it. It's arguably the most efficient and powerful climate policy available.
So why do governments around the world keep falling short on carbon pricing, and how can break this logjam? I discussed these challenges with the @NYTimes @BradPlumer in an article appearing in yesterday's paper. nytimes.com/2018/10/08/cli…

Ray Dalio talks #economics. Must watch. Here he covers emerging markets economic crises as well as how the next big crisis will shape up.
Ray Dalio's investing approach is centered around processing data into actionable conclusions. His goal has been to understand how the economic machine works. History repeats itself, he claims. His hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, embraces econometrics.
In contrast, the Austrian School of Economics generally rejects econometrics and dismisses empirical evidence. Instead of trying to understand the economic machine, they fight it. Listening to an Austrian economist is listening to never ending bashing of fiat currencies.
