This is a useful example of how economists’ mental model of climate change leads us astray.

That's wrong 🧵

I've decided to collect my DiD materials in a single place.

psantanna.com/did-resources

There, you will find
- 14 lectures of my comprehensive DiD course
- Shorter lectures/talks I have given on DiD
- My DiD R/Stata/Python packages
- Some DiD checklists

Enjoy!

🌏💔Monetizing #RelationalValues (RVs) shows the challenge of monetizing deep connections to atoll islands. Despite skepticism, integrating monetary accounts of RVs into deliberative processes can enrich #climateAdaptation planning.

More interesting RVs papers in special issue @Ecosystems & People.

Congrats and welcome to Marburg!
