馃毃New working paper 馃毃
How much better are we getting at manufacturing clean energy technologies? And how much of that improvement is driven by learning-by-doing?
We answer these questions for wind energy.
Watch this short video or read on for details.

Thrilled to be working with @JuraWho and Leo on such an important topic! The paper documents how purchasing patterns change with adoption of GLP-1 medications, exploring changes across key dimensions like motivation, age, and income.
馃毃Closing out 2024 with new paper with @hristakevas and Leo Feler: How GLP-1 medications like Ozempic are reshaping food demand and changing the rules of the game for the food industry.
Bank customers rang up over 拢2 billion in checking account overdraft charges in the U.K. in 2017. What if banks had to alert customers when their accounts ran low? We ran an RCT with @TheFCA, 2 large banks, and over 1 million customers to find out.
Prior to the RCT, over half of overdrafts could have been avoided by using savings or lower-cost credit cards. Alerts help consumers achieve less than half of these potential savings. So alerts alone do not lead to optimal borrowing.
In response, regulators are doing more. In the UK, banks must now price overdraft loans using an interest rate that is easily comparable to credit card rates. In the US, banks face new rules for overdraft lending from @CFPB unless they keep overdraft fees below $5.

Hey #EconTwitter
I study the consumer welfare effects of a regulation that ended the exclusivity of telecast rights of live English Premier League (EPL) games and induced entry into the UK television broadcasting market

The #NobelPrize committee couldn't reach Paul Milgrom to share the news that he won, so his fellow winner and neighbor Robert Wilson knocked on his door in the middle of the night.
