We find, if anything, larger effects at lower pollution levels, in line with concave marginal damages.
Or, improved air quality might take longer than a session to improve behaviors.
We need more research on the mechanism behind pollution effects on productivity in the workplace. 4/4

Engagement/quality of interactions/politeness don't seem to improve despite evidence that PM affects aggression & stress in other contexts.
Why? 3/4

In the past couple of years we randomly put air purifiers at economics conferences to see if better indoor air quality improves engagement and interactions, which are key to knowledge transfer in our jobs.
Findings:
PM2.5 are halved within the first presentation! 🌬️
But... 2/4

We have a new CEPR Discussion Paper

Pardon my ignorance what is difference between factors and PCA?

Do you mean with principal component? We can. Not sure it's ideal.

Happy rejection day to all those who celebrate.
Here's to mean and careless reviews: may they come back and bite you where the sun don't shine.

All good things must end.
Thanks @mdgordo.bsky.social and all the great crowd @pse.bsky.social for hosting me and spoiling me for the past couple of months!

The way I understand this from summaries is that it allows to control for stuff but not to estimate the effect of stuff if that's also what you care about. But I'll read the actual paper.

Hey #EconSky:
Suppose i have a bunch of variables, quite correlated, describing public transit accessibility of nbds. I want to get the causal effect of public transit accessibility on Y. How bad is it if I LASSO, then OLS on selected vars?

Thank you so much for being there and sharing your insights. It was great to meet you!

Not on the horizon, but who knows :)

Hi, not public yet. let's chat in a couple of months!
