@farislmn Thanks for the kind words! Several parts of the chapter discuss climate adaptation. It's a good example of why interactions between space and the environment matter--moving people, housing, crops, and firms within a country provides a form of climate adaptation.

@EcoRXChampion Agreed! Thanks and I hope you enjoy reading it.

12/ Thanks to you for reading and to Steve Redding, Dave Donaldson for editing the Handbook paper: slides:

9/ Another decision for spatial/enviro papers: how/whether analyze environmental inequality? Pollution can vary by income, race.🏘️🌫️ Example: air pollution and income linked via Environmental Kuznets Curve? Remote sensing data:

8/ Writing a spatial-enviro paper? 🌍 Many important decisions. One: Which planner’s perspective? Local, national, global? All are important, different. e.g, US loves $7500 EV subsidies, partly due to int'l profit shifting; global perspective is mixed.

7/ Classic models (public goods, Hotelling, Rosen/Roback,...) have limited spatial-environmental links. Space is often "here" or “anywhere else”; cities have limited geography. Example: is Clean Air too lenient? NYC/Boston no closer than NYC/LA Pic from

5/ Fact #2: Spatial forces (wind, streamflow) transmit environmental quality. 🌬️🌊Canonical spatial models reflect movement of workers/goods/ideas, not enviro externalities. Pic from Danae Hernandez-Cortes, @kyle_c_meng

4/ More densely populated US counties = more GDP (scale) + dirtier industries (composition) + cleaner production (technique, thanks partly to tighter regulation). 🌆 Again, space drives the generation of environmental damages.

3/ Measurement matters: Is pollution from city centers or suburbs? 🚗🏙️ Depends if we consider emissions by production or consumption. Either way, space drives pollution. 📊Chapter slides:

2/ Can combining enviro & spatial economics unlock insights for research & policy?🤔Start w stylized facts. Fact #1: spatial forces drive polluting activity. Example: CO2 emissions reflect density/transportation 📄Chapter:

@ckhead Many forces here (automation, deregulation, influence, value of regulatory credits). We are not stock analysts to estimate the total. Our research estimates that Tesla has modestly higher markups than other firms, and that the EV tax credits increase sales.
