Podcasts about Nordhaus

In 2018, economist William Nordhaus won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his Dynamic Integrated Climate-Economy model, which was the first neoclassical growth model to incorporate the impacts of a warming planet on the global economy.  While celebrated for its economic innovations, the DICE model and its outputs have been criticized by climate scientists for not adequately considering the devastating impacts that a rapidly warming planet will have on the environment, human wellbeing, and the economy.  Conventional attempts of forecasting GDP impacts of a one degree increase in global temperatures using the DICE model typically produce estimates of little more than a 1% decrease in global GDP. Critics argue that by downplaying the future economic costs resulting from a warming planet, these types of economic models make it easier for policymakers to justify delaying actions now to reduce emissions and slow or even stop global warming. But in a new paper titled "The Macroeconomic Impact of Climate Change: Global vs Local Temperature", Dr. Adrien Bilal and Dr. Diego Kaenzig unveil a new model to predict the impact that global warming will have on the global economy. Their findings suggest previous studies were significantly off and, in fact, global GDP will be drastically reduced if the planet continues to warm on its current trajectory. Dr. Bilal and Dr. Kaenzig join The Climate Pod to discuss their new paper, how their approach differed from previous attempts at quantifying the economic impact of climate change, and what this means for policymakers. Dr. Adrien Bilal is an Assistant Economics Professor at Harvard University. Dr. Diego Kaenzig is an Assistant Economics Professor at Northwestern University.

https://youtu.be/-savnmI8-pY In this episode, Bill interviews Gabe Rissman from your YourStake. Gabe is the president of YourStake. Gabe's background in data science comes from studying computational astrophysics at Yale, with his thesis focus on dark matter. He has experience on the ESG Desk of Rockefeller & Co., as well as at the Connecticut Green Bank. Gabe currently sits on the board of the Intentional Endowments Network. Patrick, the CEO of YourStake, has a background in data science that comes from studying econometrics at Yale, where he focused his thesis work on climate-economic modeling, under Nobel-prize winning Nordhaus. He has published academically in sustainable finance and has experience within renewable energy finance.  Stake's founders got started in this space because they care about climate change. Gabe, was looking to make a difference, and realized his student investment club invested in one of these polluting oil companies, Exxon.This ownership stake meant the student club had rights as shareholders to present a Petition at Exxon's annual shareholder meeting, in Texas. Some of the largest polluting companies actively prevent societies from acting, by buying lobbyists, spreading misinformation, and fighting innovation. As a stock owner, you are responsible for a share of a company's activities. Below is one of the displays from YourStake.org – a metaphor display. It show, in very tangible terms, the impact of your investments.  On the positive side, if you own portions of companies that have more women in management or companies that are producing clean energy then you are responsible for some good things happening as a part-owner of those activities. YourStake makes a very concrete report on what the impact is over a period of time for a given number of investments. If there is an issue that is important to a client, they have access to really dig into it. Individuals can see petitions through their financial advisors. Advisors use their leverage to push companies. Clients and advisors like comparing their existing portfolio or a benchmark to “how can I make it better to an ESG portfolio?” The following image shows a display from YourStake comparing two portfolios or two funds. It shows how they compare on various issues. Essentially, we are scooting values up the chain so clients can express their values through preferences and advisors can demonstrate the portfolios in alignment with the values. The advisor, as the intermediary, has so much power and can create so much value by communicating with the client and communicating with fund managers about what you need to see. YourStake has a tool to screen investments based on the values that are most important to a client. To get more information about YourStake, you can visit: YourStake.org or contact Gabe at: gabe@yourstake.org

Hey Smarties! Make Me Smart is taking a little summer vacation this week. We'll be back in your feeds soon. But for now, enjoy a rerun of one of our favorite episodes of the year so far. To reach the Joe Biden administration's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050, the country's energy infrastructure needs a massive overhaul, and fast. But many communities are not on board with the idea of a massive wind or solar farm in their area. Some counties are banning renewable energy developments before the planning can even begin. “All those wind turbines and solar panels, and then all the transmission lines that you need to build … it has a big footprint. And that creates lots of land-use conflicts,” said Ted Nordhaus, founder of The Breakthrough Institute. On the show today, Nordhaus breaks down climate NIMBYism, the threat it poses to our green-energy economy and what it might take to keep the green transition moving forward. In the News Fix: Work as we know it is changing. Many U.S. companies are already using ChatGPT in one way or another, and the artificial intelligence chatbot is replacing jobs. Plus, workers in Asia and Europe are going back to the office at much higher rates than American workers. Then, we'll hear from listeners about how later school start times have improved their family's mornings, the debate about what to call mocktails, and why Americans keep eggs in the fridge. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Decarbonization and its Discontents” from The Breakthrough Institute “Will NIMBYs sink new clean energy projects? The evidence says no – if developers listen to local concerns” from The Conversation “The Environmentalists Undermining Environmentalism” from The Atlantic “America needs a new environmentalism” from The Economist “Should I Learn Coding as a Second Language?” from Wired “1 in 4 companies have already replaced workers with ChatGPT” from Resume Builder “As Americans Work From Home, Europeans and Asians Head Back to the Office” from The Wall Street Journal “What's happened to the lunch places in office neighborhoods?” from Marketplace “Why do we refrigerate eggs and other countries don't?” from the Egg Safety Center What have you been wrong about lately? We want to hear your answer to the Make Me Smart question! Leave us a voice message at 508-U-B-SMART, and your submission may be featured in a future episode.

After decades of being shrouded in suspicion and controversy, nuclear energy is emerging as a viable clean alternative to oil and gas. The war in Ukraine has turned post-pandemic energy shortages into a full-blown energy crisis and nuclear power plants across Europe that were destined to close will continue to operate. Ted Nordhaus is the Executive Director of the Breakthrough Institute, which looks for technological solutions to environmental problems. Nordhaus and coauthor Juzel Lloyd published an article titled The Nuclear Resurgence, in the December edition of Finance and Development. In this podcast. Nordhaus discusses the benefits of nuclear energy with Journalist Rhoda Metcalfe.  Transcript: https://bit.ly/3Uq4yim Read The Nuclear Resurgence at IMF.org/FandD  

LD publica cómo Lomborg, Gerondeau y Shellenberger rebajan el alarmismo, Nordhaus matiza el impacto y Epstein reivindica los combustibles fósiles.

Today we had a fantastic guest join us, Ted Nordhaus. Ted is the Founder and Executive Director of The Breakthrough Institute and a co-author of "An Ecomodernist Manifesto" as well as "The Death of Environmentalism." Ted has spent his career advocating for technical solutions to environmental problems and is a thought leader on energy, the environment, and global climate. We covered a lot of territory in our time together and were thrilled to visit with him! The Breakthrough Institute is a global research center that seeks innovative technological solutions to environmental and human development challenges. We enjoyed learning more about their areas of impact and in our discussion we also touched on Ted's observations on the current state of the environmental world, his recent article in Foreign Policy, the issues with denying developing countries resources and infrastructure to use fossil fuels, the impact of Ted's upbringing and background, which countries are funding developing nation's energy growth, nuclear as a prime example of technology that has both scale and impact, the deregulatory movement needed to fix seventies era environmental laws that are still in place, and much more. We could have continued for much longer and greatly appreciate Ted for joining. In our upfront discussion, Mike Bradley shared bond, commodity and equity performance from the past week noting the widest inversion of two and ten-year US government bond yields since 2000, natural gas pricing's tie to demand over the next few weeks, midterm elections, and COP 27. Colin Fenton zoned in on oil and gas prices, specifically the difference in probability for NYMEX and WTI prices over the next few weeks compared to 2023. We also had Veriten's nuclear champion Brett Rampal join for today's session. We hope you will enjoy the session as much as we did. Thanks to you all!

This week your intrepid hosts cast their attention abroad to the historic passing of the Inflation Reduction Act in the US and the $370 Bn odd of investment into climate action it contains. Now just waiting for the stroke of Joe Biden's many pens, this will be a relief for many Democrats seeking re-election in the upcoming midterms.For our deep dive report we go FULL METAL WONK and attempt to average an orange, a picture of an apple and a mandarin-shaped eraser… no wait, that's what Integrated Assessment Models do and underpin little-read things like the IPCC's reports on climate mitigation and adaptation! We read climate economists of note Nicholas Stern, Joseph E. Stiglitz and Charlotte Taylor's paper and critique of IAMs,“The Economics of Immense Risk, Urgent Action and Radical Change: Towards New Approaches to the Economics of Climate Change” published by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Are these guys the Avengers to Nordhaus' Thanos? You'll have to listen to find out.Luke's One More Thing was a shout out and tribute to the Australian Energy Foundation (formerly Moreland Energy Foundation Limited) who have announced they are closing their doors after more than 20 years of working to improve everyday Australians' lives through programs to improve home energy performance.Frankie's One More Thing is the anticipation of a decision by the Building Ministers Meeting coming up on 26 August on whether to adopt proposed increases to the minimum energy efficiency requirements for new homes in the National Construction Code. It's been over a decade since these were last increased and there is lots of interest in seeing this get over the line.Tennant's One More Thing was to claim a win for the pod out of the recent Energy Ministers' Meeting committing to a truckload of work, including what is effectively a supercharged ISP as part of the wide ranging National Energy Transformation partnership!

Ted Nordhaus, executive director of The Breakthrough Institute, discusses his recent article in Foreign Policy: "Russia's War Is the End of Climate Policy as We Know It." The current energy crisis and Russian invasion are quickly causing us to prioritize energy security over climate targets. Could this, paradoxically, be a good thing for the climate? Nordhaus argues that the carbon intensity of the global energy system fell faster in the 30 years before the first major U.N. climate conference than after it—a result of rising energy efficiency, the spread of nuclear power, and the changing composition of the global economy. With new pressure to fortify ourselves against dependence on gas and energy imports, he argues that climate and energy policies, especially in the West, may shift from subsidizing demand (for things like solar panels and electric vehicles) to deregulating supply (of things like nuclear power plants and high-voltage transmission lines). This could put clean energy policies on a much firmer economic footing and better align climate objectives with energy security imperatives.

The economist Tyler Cowen has argued that growth should be a stubborn attachment for economists. In today's episode you will get an idea of why. We start with Solow who's exogenous growth model is highly famous. From him we learn the power of ideas and how they spread to create growth and property from Romer, and finally the inventor of the carbon tax Nordhaus. This is an exciting episode indeed, and full of great reasons why growth matters, we also talk about the coolest wedding an economist can imagine, chartered cities and why light is more important than you might think.

I sometimes hear prospective employees feel like they are "overqualified" for EA positions by trying to compare relevant metrics. E.g. "you don't need a product manager if you have less than 5,000 page views per day." I think this is misunderstanding a key difference between altruistic and profit-motivated organizations. Many companies only capture a small fraction of the value they produce. Nordhaus 2004 estimates that companies capture about 2% of the value they create through innovation. This means that companies underinvest their products (relative to the social optimum), because they can't capture the value from improved products. Therefore, altruistic organizations should invest substantially more into their products than comparable for-profit organizations do. As a concrete example: Reddit has approximately one employee per 600,000 users, whereas this Forum has approximately one employee per 13,000. Interestingly, this is almost exactly the 50x multiple Nordhaus would predict. I would further argue that it's multiple orders of magnitude more valuable to attract a user to the EA Forum than to Reddit, so the 50x multiple should be even higher, though obviously I have a bias. I think this adjustment for externalities is still not actually the right way to make career decisions – you should think more about the impact you have, not how some arbitrary metric compares – but if you are going to consider arbitrary metrics, I think you should consider adjusting by >50x. Some of these ideas are also referenced in the tech entrepreneurship 80 K article. CEA Online, the team supporting this forum, has current openings for for UI, UX, or Graphic Designer, Product Manager, Full-Stack Engineer. Reddit data taken from. There are four people who work full-time on the Forum (JP, Sarah, Clifford, Lizka); without evidence I will claim that the portion of operational staff who support them add up to a 5th FTE. Forum MAU count from Google analytics, trailing 28 days ending May 17, 2022. Of course, this is oversimplified. For example, presumably there are diminishing returns to labor, so naïvely multiplying employees by 50 is too simplistic. Thanks for listening.

Historian T.J. Jackson Lears once said, “All history is the history of unintended consequences.” This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Ted Nordhaus, the Founder and Executive Director of The Breakthrough Institute, about when laws designed to protect the environment are misused in order to block efforts that would combat climate change. We look at … Continue reading Ted Nordhaus: What Are Environmental Protections Protecting? → This article and podcast Ted Nordhaus: What Are Environmental Protections Protecting? appeared first on Sea Change Radio.

Geoff Mann talks to James Butler about the economic models developed by William Nordhaus and others, widely used by governments around the world as a tool to tackle climate change. They discuss the moral and practical limitations of Nordhaus's methods, the danger of relying on their predictions, and whether the use of such models is even an appropriate way of confronting environmental crisis.Read Geoff Mann's piece here: https://lrb.me/mannpodRead two pieces from the next issue early:Laleh Khalili on Stanley McChrystal's business guide: https://lrb.me/khalilipodPaul Theroux on V.S.

In season 1 (Danish) we reviewed the history of economic thought before WWII. The coming seasons are dedicated to the Nobel Price in Economics, and I am joined by economist Otto Brøns-Petersen. The Nobel price is a good benchmark for how the field and profession of economics developed after WWII. We will focus both on the scientific contributions and on the people behind them. These are all star economists and worthy of your time and attention. Some will mainly feature in one episode, others in several. We therefore advice that you listen in the thematic order we propose – but it is up to you. Rest assured, we will cover all… Eventually.   In this episode we start to investigate the advent of modern macro-economics. There are giants, and then there are GIANTS. Today's show feature 3 absolute giants within economics! Samuelson who got the second prize. Hayek who were the first non-Keynesian to be awarded the prize. Finally, also Friedman who a protestor told to go home doing the ceremony – but that could have been worse.    References: Caldwell, B. (2008). Hayek's challenge. University of Chicago Press.

Le rapport de la société avec la science comme enjeu du défi environnemental Avec Mac Lesggy, Emmanuelle Ducros, Olivier Babeau, Géraldine Woessner, Eric Chaney, Patrick Criqui, Meriem Hamdi-Chérif, Alexandre Perra, Philippe Charlez, Pascal Perrineau et Sébastien Le Pape. La lutte contre le dérèglement climatique est le plus grand défi de notre temps. Les travaux de Romer et Nordhaus, prix Nobel d'économie en 2017, ont montré que non seulement l'activité humaine était la cause de ce dérèglement, mais aussi que seuls l'innovation et le génie humain pourront y remédier. Il ne sera possible de financer l'immense effort de recherche nécessaire qu'au prix d'une croissance économique dont les bases sont à réinventer. Il est indispensable de rendre notre production d'énergie moins émettrice de gaz à effet de serre et plus respectueuse de l'environnement en général. La transition vers un modèle pérenne de développement humain sera un chemin extrêmement complexe, à l'image de l'équilibre écologique lui-même, et ne supportera pas les réponses simplistes. La compréhension des décisions qui seront prises et l'adhésion de la population seront indispensables. Or, force est de constater que depuis quelques années la science occupe une place de plus en plus contestée dans les débats. La communauté scientifique parvient moins que jamais à partager ses découvertes et ses constats avec l'ensemble de la population. L'abondance des échanges sur les réseaux n'a pas permis la clarification espérée, mais pollue les échanges de rumeurs, fausses nouvelles et expressions hystérisées de points de vue. C'est bien souvent le triomphe de l'émotion contre la raison, de l'opinion contre le savoir, de l'erreur contre la vérité. Le laboratoire d'idées indépendant Institut Sapiens a organisé, en partenariat avec Sciences Po Alumni, une conférence réunissant scientifiques, universitaires, représentants d'entreprises du secteur de l'énergie et journalistes, afin de discuter des façons de rapprocher la science et la société sur cet enjeu particulier de la transition énergétique. Cet évènement s'est déroulé le mercredi 24 novembre 2021 à Sciences Po Paris.

I am joined by returning guest and co-founder of The Breakthrough Institute, Ted Nordhaus, to discuss degrowth as a proposed solution to climate change and other environmental issues. Nordhaus has written forcefully against the idea of degrowth, which posits that growth in human populations and consumption levels will inevitably bring us to the brink of what this planet can sustain. The only way to avert catastrophe is to therefore reduce human populations and minimize consumption. Nordhaus's objections are epistemological as well as pragmatic. While degrowth risks stalling innovation and adaptation in the face of climate change, it is unclear that the proclaimed limits to human consumption (at the root of degrowth thought) are actually knowable or would even be met in the normal course of human development. Nordhaus points out the difficulty of defining the line between necessity and luxury, and argues that there is no actual science or evidence behind claims that we are approaching or have passed “planetary boundaries.” Nordhaus emphasizes that he cares about the environment and other species, but that there are “non-apocalyptic reasons to protect nature.” As for what society should do to address the climate crisis and other environmental issues, Nordhaus offers a decision-making framework that acknowledges the vast uncertainties of any future scenario: Do more of the stuff that brings us in a direction we want to go, and less of the stuff that doesn't. To Nordhaus, foretelling disaster based on what he says are unscientific limits to growth is “an authoritarian claim” that at best leads to regressive policies and at worst creates self-fulfilling prophecies. We go on to discuss the common use of WW2 as a metaphor for the scale of climate action needed, and contrast it with a Cold War metaphor that yields more technological optimism. Finally, we touch upon a concept near and dear to this podcast: decoupling.

'The Spirit of Green' is available at the link below https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691214344/the-spirit-of-green In ‘The Spirit of Green', Nobel Prize-winning economist William Nordhaus describes a new way of green thinking that would help us overcome our biggest challenges without sacrificing economic prosperity, in large part by accounting for the spillover costs of economic collisions. In a discussion that ranges from the history of the environmental movement to the Green New Deal, Nordhaus explains how the spirit of green thinking provides a compelling and hopeful perspective on modern life. He shows how rethinking economic efficiency, sustainability, politics, profits, taxes, individual ethics, corporate social responsibility, finance, and more would improve the effectiveness and equity of our society. About the Speaker: William Nordhaus is Sterling Professor of Economics at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA. His major work focuses on the economics of climate change, developing models that integrated the science, economics, and policies necessary to slow warming. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2018 "for integrating climate change into long-run macroeconomic analysis." From 1977 to 1979, Professor Nordhaus served as a Member of President Carter's Council of Economic Advisers. From 1986 to 1988, he served as the Provost of Yale University and was President of the American Economic Association from 2015 to 2016. Professor Nordhaus completed his undergraduate work at Yale University in 1963 and received his Ph.D. in Economics in 1967 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In this conversation, based on the book The Spirit of Green: The Economics of Collisions and Contagions in a Crowded World, Nobel Prize-winning pioneer in environmental economics Dr. Nordhaus explains how and why “green thinking” could cure many of the world’s most serious problems — from global warming to pandemics. Solving the world’s biggest problems requires, more than anything else, coming up with new ways to manage the powerful interactions that surround us. For carbon emissions and other environmental damage, this means ensuring that those responsible pay their full costs rather than continuing to pass them along to others, including future generations. Nordhaus describes a new way of green thinking that would help us overcome our biggest challenges without sacrificing economic prosperity, in large part by accounting for the spillover costs of economic collisions. In a discussion that ranges from the history of the environmental movement to the Green New Deal, Nordhaus explains how rethinking economic efficiency, sustainability, politics, profits, taxes, individual ethics, corporate social responsibility, finance, and more would improve the effectiveness and equity of our society.

Can classical economics help figure out climate change and support policies that slow global warming? Yale Sterling Professor of Economics William Nordhaus thinks so. In his new book, The Spirit of Green: The Economics of Collisions and Contagions in a Crowded World (Princeton UP, 2021), Nordhaus tackles the "externality" that is pollution and carbon emissions. By making several adjustments to how we treat this externality in economic terms, it can be brought back into the "system" whereby sensible regulation, market relations, and innovation can lead to markedly lower levels of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The most important of those adjustments is getting the price of carbon right. In many parts of the world, there is no formal price of carbon. Setting it at $40 per ton (or higher) will not be easy, not least because competing nation-states will need to agree to and abide by a universal carbon tax.    Despite these challenges, Nordhaus ends on an optimistic note. We have the means, we have the technology.... And as an example, he points to how a Covid vaccine was developed in record time after adjustments to the system of incentives and regulations.  Daniel Peris is Senior Vice President at Federated Hermes in Pittsburgh.

Das Richtige für den Start in einen neuen Tag. Ein kurzes Atemholen.

Steve Bannister, from the University of Utah, is special guest on this week's Debunking Economics podcast. He talks to Phil Dobbie about his approach to climate change modelling, based on GDP growth, energy use and carbon emissions. Steve Keen talks about the weakness of other modelling, including Nordhaus' DICE model. Steve Bannisters model predicts things will even out eventually, but will we be alive to see it? Nope. The answer seems to be, there's a need for a new source of energy. Clearly, its where science needs to focus its efforts, but is the sense of urgency strong enough to see if through?

“The first thing is that people have to come to grips with the difficulties we face. I think the scientists have and many of the people have, but the governments have to.”Yale University's William Nordhaus, who on October 8th shared the 2018 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, "for integrating climate change into long-run macroeconomic analysis.” He spoke by phone to a representative of the Nobel Prizes.“And then the second thing that's most important is that we take some kind of economic steps—I have advocated for many years a carbon tax as a way of implementing policies. And then the third thing is we'll have to have a significant technological transformation. Of course, those first two would help the third. But those three have to go together. You can't do it without public support. But you can't do it without some kind of economic signals, in the form of a carbon tax. And then all of those will help induce the technological changes that are necessary to make a transition to a low-carbon world.”Nordhaus shared the prize with Paul Romer of New York University, for his work “integrating technological innovations into long-run macroeconomic analysis."Nordhaus continued: “The most recent work I've done is studying actual trends in abatement and in policies, suggests we're doing much less than what needs to be to reach any of the targets, whether it's a 1.5 degree or 2 degree or even a 3 degree target. I think the policies are lagging very very far, miles, miles, miles behind the science and what needs to be done…but it's not too late. But the steps we have to take are more difficult now than if we'd started earlier.”—Steve Mirsky

Willem Buiter, Citi Special Economic Adviser, says the Nobel Prize for Economics Winner William Nordhaus was a very inspiring teacher. Isaac Boltansky, Compass Point Managing Director of Policy Research & Senior Policy Analyst, says Kavanaugh's confirmation galvanized the political pulse for the midterms. Monica de Bolle, Peterson Institute for International Economics Senior Fellow, thinks Brazil's first round winner Jair Bolsonaro is more nationalistic and state interventionist than the markets seem to realize. And Steve Keen, Kingston University of London Professor of Economics, talks the role of technology in economics after Paul Romer's Nobel Prize win.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
