Ep. 100: Environmental market design
<p dir="ltr">Since the 1990s, developers in Florida who want to build on wetlands have been required to buy offset credits from "wetland mitigation banks," private restoration projects that convert degraded land, often former pasture, back into functioning wetland elsewhere in the same region. Like other environmental offset markets, the program has proved controversial.</p> <p dir="ltr">In a <a href= "https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/aer.20231016">paper in the American Economic Review</a>, authors <a href= "https://danielaronoff.github.io/">Daniel Aronoff</a> and <a href= "https://rafey.io/">Will Rafey</a> found that wetland offsets generated roughly $2.4 billion in private gains from trade but also a significant increase in overall flood damage because wetlands were moved away from places where they protected existing homes.</p> <p dir="ltr">Rafey recently spoke with Tyler Smith about what the results mean for the design of environmental markets and wetland regulations.</p>

Ep. 99: The wrong side of the tracks
<p dir="ltr">The place where a child grows up in America shapes their economic future to a <a href= "https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/jep.35.4.197">significant degree</a>. One long-suspected explanation is racial segregation, but proving whether segregation actually causes worse outcomes—rather than just correlating with them—has been challenging for economists.</p> <p dir="ltr">In a <a href= "https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/app.20240271">paper in the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics</a>, authors <a href="https://www.ericchyn.com/">Eric Chyn</a>, <a href= "https://www.kareemhaggag.com/">Kareem Haggag</a>, and <a href= "https://www.bryan-stuart.com/">Bryan A. Stuart</a> provide evidence that racial segregation shapes the long-run economic prospects of American children. </p> <p dir="ltr">Using the placement of railroad tracks in the 19th century, they found that a one standard deviation increase in segregation—roughly the gap between Minneapolis and Philadelphia—cost a Black child from a poor family about $4,200 a year in income as an adult. While lower-income Black children were hit the hardest, segregation also hurt higher-income Black children and lower-income White children.</p> <p dir="ltr">Chyn recently spoke with Tyler Smith about why segregation hurts low-income kids in particular and what his findings imply for policymakers.</p>

Ep. 98: Delivering clean water
<p dir="ltr">More than two billion people around the world do not have safe drinking water at home. Piped water infrastructure remains out of reach for much of the developing world, and cheaper alternatives like chlorine tablets have low take-up rates even when given away for free. </p> <p dir="ltr">In a <a href= "https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/aer.20250278">paper in the American Economic Review</a>, authors <a href= "https://www.fionaburlig.com/">Fiona Burlig</a>, <a href= "https://www.amirjina.com/">Amir Jina</a>, and <a href= "https://www.anantsudarshan.com/">Anant Sudarshan</a> explore a third option. Working with a private company in rural Odisha, one of India's poorest states, the researchers ran a randomized experiment across roughly 60,000 households to test the effectiveness of delivering treated water directly to people's doors.</p> <p dir="ltr">Burlig recently spoke with Tyler Smith about revealed-preference measurements of the value of clean water and steps governments might take toward reaching the goal of universal access.</p>
