"Causal Effects between Environment and the Economy"
Recent developments in econometrics offer new possibilities in understanding the complex interactions between the natural environment and the economy. I summarize some of my recent research in this area. Topics include the impact of economic and regulatory policies on biodiversity; international trade-induced deforestation and its health costs; and the value of urban forests. I will focus on methodological innovations that help tease out causal relationships.
