Podcast appearances and mentions of Matthew E Kahn

Thursday, July 14th, 2022   Matthew E. Kahn is Provost Professor at the University of Southern California and the author of six previous books about environmental and urban economics issues. His latest book is Going Remote: How the Flexible Work Economy Can Improve Our Lives and Our Cities. We discuss the future of our cities and the future of work--whether that's remote or in person.   The pandemic revealed a new geography of economic opportunity. Some jobs that were only in person before are now possible remotely, which could be good for working mothers or for those who might want ready access to the outdoors. Cities could transform into places that are more attractive because of the lifestyle as opposed to the job opportunities. Matt also wonders if working from home will lead to more life satisfaction, less divisive politics, and more civic engagement.   Follow Matt on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mattkahn1966    Follow Mila on Twitter: https://twitter.com/milaatmos    Follow Future Hindsight on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/   Sponsors Thanks to the Jordan Harbinger for supporting Future Hindsight!

Urban economist Dr. Matthew Kahn in his latest book, “GOING REMOTE: How the Flexible Work Economy Can Improve Our Lives and our Cities,” shows us how the urban landscape is shifting in our favor. Whether we're working from home, in person, or in a hybrid fashion, Kahn explains how the pandemic has created opportunities for everyone to have more freedom. In fact, according to Kahn, the rise of remote work presents especially valuable chances for flexibility and equity in the lives of women, minorities, and young people. Working from home can significantly improve the standard of living for millions of people by changing the arc of how we live, work, and play. For more, see the Nonfiction4Life website.

Local governments are essential providers of public goods and services utilized by Americans every day. Extreme weather events can threaten the stability of local revenue sources and the ability of municipalities to provide essential goods and services. Rhiannon Jerch talks about her research with Matthew E. Kahn & Gary Lin in which they study what happens to local public finances in the aftermath of hurricanes in the United States. Paper: "Local Public Finance Dynamics and Hurricane Shocks" by Rhiannon Jerch, Matthew E. Kahn & Gary C. Lin https://rhiannonjerch.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/jerchkahnlinabstract27oct.pdf Recommendation: "Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History" (2000) by Erik Larson https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/239186.IsaacsStorm

Economist Matthew E. Kahn, the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Economics and Business at Johns Hopkins University and the director of the university’s 21st Century Cities Initiative, discusses the idea of the American Dream, his support for a per-ton carbon tax, and why, because of the climate crisis, he doesn’t believe in homeownership.

Sarah Tuneberg thinks it’s incredibly unproductive to argue about whether a particular flood or drought was caused by climate change. The fact is, catastrophic events are happening more and more frequently, and we have to take action to mitigate the risks. So, how can we use the data available to us to promote this kind of disaster resilience?   Sarah is the Cofounder and CEO of Geospiza, a software company that helps corporations visualize, understand and take action around climate risks. Sarah has 10-plus years of experience in emergency management and public health, and she is committed to developing data-driven, evidence-based solutions to reduce risk and enhance resilience, especially for the most vulnerable. Sarah earned her Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Georgia and her Master’s in Public Health from Tulane.   Today, Sarah joins Ross and Christophe to share the Geospiza origin story and discuss what inspired their pivot from serving state and local governments to large, multinational corporations. She offers an example of how a client is using Geospiza software to make strategic business decisions and describes how climate risk is changing the insurance industry as well as contract law. Sarah also addresses ongoing development in risky areas and explains who is likely to bear the brunt of climate change. Listen in for Sarah’s insight around why we don’t take action around disaster resilience and learn why she believes there is nothing natural about so-called natural disasters.   Key Takeaways   [1:04] Sarah’s path to reversing climate change Work in international emergency management Hurricane Katrina led to domestic space Climate change impacts natural hazard environment   [3:53] The Geospiza origin story Government consulting led to development of tech Apply to climate change, natural hazard risks Shift from serving government to large enterprise   [6:28] What inspired Geospiza’s pivot State and local governments fear budget cuts Value human resources over capacity building   [10:47] The argument against the repackaging of free data Federal appointees enrich selves, friends New York Times article re: One Concern   [14:00] Why Geospiza focuses on multinational corporations Governments lack organization, cohesion to change Companies trying to mitigate risks of climate change   [15:14] Why it doesn’t matter if climate change caused a specific event Catastrophic events more frequent, unpredictable Must deal with consequences (cause irrelevant)   [18:09] A case study of how clients use Geospiza to change behavior Company’s product touches Rhine twice Unpredictable flow disrupts supply chain Software enables decision-making around delivery   [20:46] The development of risky areas Affordable housing built in places vulnerable to flooding Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans, Far Rockaway in NYC   [27:30] Sarah’s insight around flood insurance Only available through federal government Uninsured receive aid from FEMA   [28:38] How hail coverage is likely to change in the near future Unprecedented # of storms in Colorado (10X premiums) Coverage for homes + autos unavailable in 36 months   [32:23] How climate risk is changing the insurance industry Insurance business = large investment companies Count on future earnings from fossil fuels Laws against extraction = trillions in economic loss   [36:46] How climate change will impact contract law  Force majeure clauses eliminated (we know better)   [38:28] Why we don’t take action around disaster resilience Human nature to react to what’s in front of us Doesn’t earn LEED points (separate from sustainability)   [41:39] Our need for a moral mission to combat climate change Same sense of pride, community as 9/11 ‘Out group’ necessary to unite us, spur action   [44:02] Who is likely to bear the brunt of climate change Vulnerable populations with least resources  Communities who gain least from CO2 emissions   [45:52] Why Sarah advocates for the term ‘human disasters’ ‘Natural’ removes human responsibility Not natural to put people in path of hazards   Connect with Ross & Christophe    Nori Nori on Facebook  Nori on Twitter Nori on Medium Nori on YouTube Nori on GitHub Nori Newsletter Email hello@nori.com Nori White Paper Subscribe on iTunes Carbon Removal Newsroom   Resources   Geospiza Sarah on Twitter Sarah’s TEDx Talk The Nature Conservancy Techstars Play Bigger: How Pirates, Dreamers, and Innovators Create and Dominate Markets by Al Ramadan, Dave Peterson, Christopher Lochhead & Kevin Maney ‘This High-Tech Solution to Disaster Response May Be Too Good to Be True’ in The New York Times One Concern NOAA The Coming Storm by Michael Lewis ‘FEMA Official Arrested for Fraud Over Hurricane Maria Recovery Effort in Puerto Rico’ on CNBC Climatopolis: How Our Cities Will Thrive in the Hotter Future by Matthew E.
