environmental econ, climate adaptation, plastic pollution 🏔🏕 PhD Student at @ColumbiaSIPA vegan for the animals 🐄🐔🐷
New York City, NY
Joined March 2020
I'm on the job market! My #EconJMP examines climate adaptation inequality in labor markets (see ⬇️). This is part of my work on the effects of climate change/plastic pollution on workers & society - often with unique data & an interdisciplinary lens. https://t.co/EIkmUVMtv5

I’m on the #EconJobMarket! I study labor, climate, entrepreneurship & innovation My JMP addresses a long-standing question in climate economics about the impact of climate change on physical capital (e.g., machinery, buildings). I examine the impact of flooding on manufacturing

I highly recommend checking out my PhD program to anyone interested in doing research and the nexus of the social and natural sciences. To see the type of research we do, check out the job market papers from this year's crop of job market candidates here:

Did you miss last week’s SustDev Virtual Info Session for the @ColumbiaSIPA PhD program in Sustainable Development? No worries. Check out the slide deck in the thread below.

Check out the paper for a lot more details ( https://t.co/LNr8bAJheo)! Thanks for reading!

I then run a survey to explore mechanisms. Platform workers believe that declining tasks/working less, esp. during peak times like hot days, deprioritizes them for future work. This constrains the flexibility of gig work, particularly when environmental risk are high.

On these hot days, food delivery gig workers work ~2 hrs more! This is in contrast to existing literature showing ⬇️ in labor supply in response to heat for climate-exposed workers in traditional industries (e.g., ag/construction). However, workers' hourly wages do NOT go up.

My JMP shows that gig platforms help consumers adapt to extreme temps, but shift climate-related burdens onto workers. 1) I show using millions of transactions in 4 countries that food delivery demand ⬆️ on hot days rel. to moderate days. (Order size, tips, & times don't change.)

I'm excited to be on the job market along with such awesome researchers (and friends)!
I’m thrilled to introduce six outstanding economics job market candidates from the PhD program in Sustainable Development at @ColumbiaSIPA @SipaSusdev! Each of them brings a unique perspective and cutting-edge research in environmental economics, empirical IO, labor economics,

Great session. Learned a lot from fellow presenters, @annapappp , @lpenalozap Abdoulaye Cisse. Thanks for all the feedback. Shoutout to @Prof_Nishith_P @SilviaPrina for organizing. #NEUDC2024

Thanks for the shout out, it was great to present my job market paper at #NEUDC2024! Learned a lot from all the awesome talks!
Day 2 #NEUDC2024 started with Anna Papp @annapappp examining how extreme temperatures impact demand and supply of gig work platform services. She finds that high temperatures increase demand and also increase hours worked but have no impact on wages.

Looking forward to presenting our paper tomorrow!
Thrilled to have @annapappp present a newly revised (and augmented) version of our paper "Rain Follows the Forest: Land Use Policy, Climate Change, and Adaptation" at the NBER SI on Monday. We look forward to your comments! https://t.co/yDGtLdmPJa

Excited to present our tree-planting/climate paper at #ASSA2024 tomorrow afternoon in the Weather and Climate session. Even more excited (is that ok to say?! 😂) for the *vegan* tacos at @plantaqueria ! I’ll be trying all the breakfast tacos…

I had such an awesome time at PERC last summer. Learned so much from other fellows, got awesome feedback, and of course, loved every minute of being outside in and around Bozeman. Would 1000% recommend!

Check out @florian_grosset's amazing JMP on complementarities in labor supply, with results from not one but *two* field experiments! I've learned so much from Florian. Lucky to have him as a friend and as a coauthor.
JMC @florian_grosset is a development and environmental economist, with interests in labor and firms. His JMP examines complementarities in labor supply, with field experiments in urban Côte d’Ivoire. For more details about the paper and his work, visit https://t.co/MAAbZGci30

En route to NBER SI! Looking forward to presenting our tree-planting and climate paper at EEE on Tuesday morning, and to @supKaur presenting our social tax paper at Labor Studies on Tuesday afternoon. Last Summer Institute before the job market...

And finally, a fun fact: the title of the paper is a nod to the “rain follows the plow” myth and the Hawaiian proverb “rain follows the forest” that recognizes the important relationship between the islands’ forests and freshwater. 8/8

Our main takeaways for the climate lit: 1) Local climate change can be endogenous – use caution when using historical climate trends for identifying variation. 2) BUT similar policy-induced changes can also be exploited to causally identify the effects of climate change. 7/8

But not all tree-planting initiatives are equal. Over 30 species were planted in the Shelterbelt project, most of which were native + locally adapted to ensure ecological resilience. The same may not be true for some of today’s monoculture programs. 6/8
