A long-winded 🧵 on energy poverty inspired by my @IEA presentation today
1) Different households appear to respond differently to rising energy prices. Barrett et al. [1] show general trends that raise questions for further investigation....

If you're wrapping up a bachelor's or master's and want some experience doing research, this is a great programme. Something I wish I did way back when. Don't make the same mistake!
Last couple of days to apply for @ESRIDublin’s summer internship programme -don’t miss out !
A new series in the works with some high profile guests. We will be chatting with people who use economics in unexpected contexts. It's going to be a lot of fun!

Hearing anecdotally of energy firms offering very competitive rates upon contract renewal (not sure how widespread this is!).
28c/kWh is much, much lower than anything published (around 10c/kWh less than Yuno energy, for example).
Some thoughts...

Very good account of state of electricity market on @RTE_PrimeTime, featuring @mu_lynch, @CWeston_Indo et al.
There is a little nuance to be considered when comparing Irish prices with other countries...

New paper just accepted with Economics Letters.
It examines supports for high energy prices. It proves that a lump sum transfer is more progressive than an equivalent price cap, and identifies conditions where there are equal distributional effects.

Are energy companies delaying cost pass-through?
A short🧵:
tl;dr: I expect companies to lower prices when it is profitable for Electric Ireland to do so.

One of the objectives of this podcast was to provide economic explainers to aid informed debate. I never thought I would be highlighting this work on foot of a comment by @PresidentIRL.
Here is a thread on some of the great work being done by economists on sustainability
Water is a hot topic in Ireland. Many economists focus on how to sustainably manage natural resources such as water (this is one of my favourite episodes).

There are many other episodes covering the important social challenges of our time, including gender, inequality and health service provision.
