The Frontier of Environmental Economics?

I apologize. I have stopped blogging for a while because I've been busy. Maybe I'm slowing down and have no more ideas to share? Maybe it is too sunny here in Los Angeles?

But, I'm always looking for something to get me excited about my work and today I have found it. Here is the roster of papers detailing what is the "Frontier of Environmental Economics" as defined by the folks at Resources for the
Future These papers look okay to me but if this is really our "frontier" then I'm a pinch worried.

Since I wasn't invited to this important event, I would like to hold a quick conference right here where I list my own research frontier. In the next 6 months, I will be talking (on this blog) about the following completed new papers:

1. Death and Media Coverage (joint with Dora Costa)

2. Environmentalists as a Source of Housing Supply Regulation

3. Who Are Early Adopters of New Energy Efficient Products? Evidence from Hybrid Vehicle Registrations

4. Local Economic Growth Near Polluting Power Plants: Implications for the Social Cost of Power Generation, and the Efficiency of Permit Trading

5. The Social Cost of Urban Agglomeration

If you'd like to hear me present these five papers, then meet me on the Beach between Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica. You'll know me when you see me.
