EdTech isn’t a quick fix — it works only when paired with strong pedagogy. New VoxDevLit review co-edited by IIES’s @Lnavarrosola shows that targeted, instructional tech boosts learning, while device-only programs often fall short. https://t.co/BSv6k74CnV

The abrupt end of unemployment benefits in 2013 led to a surge in employment and labor force growth, especially in states with larger cuts in benefit duration, say researchers at @UniOslo, @Penn, and @Stockholms_univ. #Chart

Accounting for these dynamics matters: ignoring adjustment costs understates substitution potential and overstates needed carbon taxes. With the improved model, Germany could cut fossil use with a 50% lower carbon tax and ⅓ the output loss. 🌍

When output rises, electricity use jumps 3x more than fossil fuel use. Standard production models predict equal responses so they miss an important real-world friction. Thore shows this can be explained by adjustment costs in fossil fuel use.

Observable traits (like location, industry, or products produced) can’t explain this heterogeneity. Something else shapes how “green” a plant’s energy mix is. Thore digs deeper into how plants adjust fossil vs. electricity use when demand shifts.

Fossil fuels make up 70% of energy use in German manufacturing. But across plants, energy mixes differ a lot: there’s 5x more variation across plants (even within the same 4-digit industry) than within plants over time.

🌱 Can the plants turn green? — this JMP by IIES JMC Thore Petersen studies how German manufacturing plants can substitute fossil fuels with clean energy. Spoiler: switching is actually easier than standard models suggest. 🧵 https://t.co/job4kzC2Jv

🎁Bonus takeaway: Even without a slowdown in innovation by dominant firms, concentration can quietly slow growth by hampering the reallocation of resources.

When concentration rises, productivity first accelerates—as resources shift toward more productive firms—and then slows as reallocation opportunities diminish, mirroring the U.S. productivity boom of the late 1990s and subsequent slowdown.

📊The model replicates key patterns in the data even though firms’ productivity processes remain unchanged.
