NatuRE Policy Lab

This week, ARE PhD candidate Bruno Pimenta presented his job market paper, entitled "The Differential Responses of Farmers on Private and Public Lands to Droughts in the Brazilian Amazon." 

This week, we had a busy lab seminar. First, three PhD students - Tom Cromsjo and Kevin Cao in ARE, and Wantong Yuan in ESP - presented 5 minute egg-timer style presentations detailing their in-progress work. These short talks were a resounding success, and we will continue this new Lab format with another egg timer session later in the quarter. 

We kicked off the Lab on September 29th with a presentation by NatuRE Policy Lab co-coordinator Will Troske, who presented joint work with Laura Alcocer Quinones and Jeffrey Hadachek (UW-Madison) entitled "Behavioral Responses to PFAS in Drinking Water." 

ARE PhD students Matt Dudek and Mahdi Shams presented their respective research in the Lab this week. 
 

ARE PhD students Will Troske and Ignacio Oliva each presented ongoing work, titled "Global warming, inequality, and dependence on the environment" and "The Behavioral Impact of Sulfur Fuel Content Regulations in Maritime Shipping" respectively.
