I am working on a low-carbon university-based conference-hosting service, which a consortium of 3 or 4 universities would offer to professional associations that sponsor academic conferences. Let me know if your university might like to help me pilot something summer 2020. (1/4) The conferences would be linked simultaneous in-person events in the 3 or 4 sites. Different from webinars, because they preserve the in-person character at each linked site. For background on the format: ). (2/4)

Technical thread. Structural similarity between tradeable quotas and fee&dividend. I call them twin siblings. There are 3 questions: (a) what is the Q, (b) what is the P, and (c) what is the fairness (the income transfer element)? There exists a demand function that links Q-P pairs. You may say "we don't know that demand function," but it exists. Suppose current Q is 16t per cap and current price is $0/t (free). Pick any new quantity (say 4t C02 per cap) and suppose the paired price is very high ($300/t).
