Recently the President ordered that coal generators don’t need to comply with the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (MATS). My forthcoming JPE paper with @GGowrisankaran and Wendan Zhang on uncertainty surrounding MATS. Time for a thread! whitehouse.gov/presidential-…
Resolving uncertainty later leads generators on the exit margin to be more likely to exit! Our point is subtle: this is about delaying uncertainty resolution holding
enforcement probability constant. Yet increasing coal exit might not be the current administration’s objective!

Pre-doc job announcement! @HarvardSalata is hiring fellows to work with Anna Russo, Wolfram Schlenker, @ctaylor463, and myself on environmental economics! Application review will begin on 10/31 and continue on a rolling basis. Please apply and share! sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/…
some personal news: I have a pre-doc job to advertise, but for it to make sense I need to first share that in 2025-26 I will start a new job as an assistant professor at Harvard @Kennedy_School. I will dearly miss my friends @sffed, but am excited for new adventures in Boston!

Job market candidates: a quick thread on how the econ market works, incl. at business schools. 1) It is not unusual to get many 100s of applications. Nobody reads them all first-pass. Most places take a quick glance at letter/cv/intro, and keep the top x%.
Potential predocs! If you’re interested in IO and energy (or development/trade/health), please apply!
Come work with us! We (@TradeDiversion @GGowrisankaran, Pietro Tebaldi, and I) are hiring pre-docs to start in summer 2025.

I'll be at NBER SI on Monday and Tuesday, looking out for research that could inform our work @GiveWell. If you'll be there and want to chat about your work -- especially if related to water or livelihoods -- DM me or come say hi! I'm the tall non-academic.
