We have a paper out in @ScienceMagazine today showing how new guidelines allowing for income weighting in federal cost-benefit analysis would affect the social cost of carbon. Main takeaway, the SC-CO2 increases nearly 8x to ~$1300/ton. @rff @ERGBerkeley science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Without Raffaella I would have dropped or failed out of graduate school in year 1. And possibly again year 2. Best office mate ever. Congrats Raffi!
