I am at UC Berkeley and had expected to see RBC readers but nobody recognized me at Caffe Strada.  This is “Energy Camp” week at the UC Energy Institute so 30 faculty and students have gathered to talk about energy economics. This is exciting stuff.  Now that I’ve retired from active research, I’ve devoting all of my time to writing these witty blog posts and book blurbs.  Gernot Wagner’s new book  will be a hit.    Here is the blurb; Â
“This splendid book showcases why environmental economics is such an exciting field today. Who knew that an economist not named Krugman could write so well? I will buy my mom a copy.†—Matthew E. Kahn, author of Climatopolis: How Our Cities Will Thrive in Our Hotter Future
