If there's been one consistent thread since the beginning of Env-Econ.net, it's our endearing commitment to helping you understand the incentives of gas taxes vs. mileage taxes. Well, the debate is back in the news again as the governments debate ways to overcome... ...the myriad hurdles U.S. states face as... Continue reading

Why do we keep getting the price of driving wrong?
For years I have railed about the need to get the price of driving right (too many posts to find and link, but here's a good one). Why, oh, why I cry, do we still keep finding needlessly complicated ways to confuse the f*** out of drivers who just want... Continue reading

Bad Graph Interpretation of the Day: Well, if I had to guess, I would say bad math happened.
Saw this tweet this morning with 2.3M views: Just eyeballing it, from 1995-2000, boy suicide rates fell from about 18 to around 9, a 50% drop. Girl suicide rates fell from about 4 to about 2 per 100K, a 50% decline. Correspondingly, the overall suicide rates fell from around 11 to about 5.5 per...

When is the right time to measure economic damages from a disaster?
By now most know of the train derailment in East Palestine (pronounced pal-uh-steen), Ohio and the ensuing decision to burn the chemicals spilling from the train rather than wait for a potentially more disastrous--and perhaps more lethal--explosion. What is not yet known, and likely won't be known for some time,... Continue reading
