Based on my joint research with José Scheinkman, Todd Munson, and Juliano Assunção, our new interactive @BeckerFriedman data studio brief explores how carbon pricing could reshape forest conservation and reforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. By combining economic modeling with spatial data, we examine how modest carbon payments can influence land-use decisions and contribute to climate change mitigation.

It was my privilege today to speak at the Growth Academy to an audience of scholars, many of whom are engaged in policy advice. I spoke about integrating uncertainty formally into policy assessment. The audience asked great questions and probed ways to extend the insights to a variety of challenges faced by governments around the world.

Kicking off Day 1 of our @MFRProgram Frontier Topics in Macro-Finance Conference—organized by my @UChicago colleagues, Yueran Ma, @CarolinPflueger , and myself—with an exciting first session on Monetary Policy and Financial Markets. #macroeconomics #macrofinance #econtwitter #risk #InterestRates #finance #incomerisk
