SUMMARY:PPASS Seminar Series feat. Lucas Davis: Are Fuel Economy Standards Regressive?
DESCRIPTION:Abstract (joint with ChrisKnittel) \nDespite widespread agreement that a carbon tax\nwould be more efficient\, many countries use fuel economy standards to reduce\ntransportation-related carbon dioxide emissions. We pair a simple model of the\nautomobile manufacturers’ profit maximization problem with unusually-rich\nnationally representative data on vehicle registrations to estimate the\ndistributional impact of U.S. fuel economy standards. The key insight from our\nmodel is that fuel economy standards impose a constraint on manufacturers which\ncreates an implicit subsidy for fuel-efficient vehicles and an implicit tax for\nfuel-inefficient vehicles. Moreover\, when these obligations are tradable\,\npermit prices make it possible to quantify the exact magnitude of these\nimplicit subsidies and taxes. We use our model to determine which U.S. vehicles\nhave been most subsidized and taxed since 2012\, and we compare the pattern of\nownership of these vehicles between high- and low-income Census blocks.\nFinally\, we compare these distributional impacts with existing estimates in the\nliterature on the distributional impact of a carbon tax.Short Bio:Lucas Davis is an Associate Professor at the Haas School of Business and Faculty Director at the Energy Institute at Haas. Prior to joining Haas in 2009\, he was an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on energy and environmental markets\, and in particular\, on electricity and natural gas regulation\, pricing in competitive and non-competitive markets\, and the economic and business impacts of environmental policy. His work appears in leading academic journals including the American Economic Review\, the RAND Journal of Economics\, and the Journal of Political Economy.

SUMMARY:Luskin Innovators: Speaker Series featuring James Salzman
DESCRIPTION:Join the UCLA Luskin Center in welcoming James Salzman\,Donald Bren Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law\, as he discusses his\nmost recent book\, Drinking Water: A\nHistory\, over refreshments and lunch.REGISTER HEREPanel:James Salzman\, Donald Bren Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law\, UCLA LawJ.R. DeShazo\, Director and Professor\, UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation\, UCLA Luskin School of Public AffairsStephanie Pincetl\, Director and Professor-in-Residence\, California Center for Sustainable Communities at UCLANoah Garrison\, Environmental Science Practicum Director\, UCLA Institute of the Environment and SustainabilityChris Solek\, Programs Director and Senior Scientist\, Council for Watershed Health \nAbout the Book: \nWhen\nyou turn on the tap or twist the cap\, you might not give a second thought to\nwhere your drinking water comes from. But how it gets from the ground to your\nglass is far more complex than you might think. Is it safe to drink tap water?\nShould you feel guilty buying bottled water? Is your water vulnerable to\nterrorist attacks? Considering the water contamination disaster in Flint and\nwith springs running dry and reservoirs emptying\, where is your water going to\ncome from in the future? \nIn Drinking\nWater: A History\, professor James Salzman provides answers to these\nquestions. Bloody conflicts over control of water sources stretch as far back\nas the Bible yet are featured in front page headlines even today. Only fifty\nyears ago\, selling bottled water sounded as ludicrous as selling bottled air.\nSalzman weaves all of these issues together to show just how complex a simple\nglass of water can be. His book also highlights how drinking water relates to\nthe most pressing issues of our time- from globalization and social justice to\nterrorism and climate change- and how humans have been wrestling with these\nproblems for centuries. \nAbout the\nAuthor: \nJim\nSalzman is the Donald Bren Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law with\njoint appointments at the environment school at UCSB and the law school at\nUCLA. In more than eight books and eighty articles\, his broad-ranging\nscholarship has addressed topics spanning drinking water\, trade and environment\nconflicts\, policy instrument design\, and the legal and institutional issues in\ncreating markets for ecosystem services.  A dedicated classroom teacher\,\nSalzman was twice selected as Professor of the Year by students at Duke. He\nfrequently appears as a media commentator and has lectured on environmental\npolicy on every continent except Antarctica. Active in government policy\ndebates\, he serves on both EPA’s National Drinking Water Advisory Council and\nthe Trade and Environment Policy Advisory Committee (reporting to EPA and\nUSTR). He has served as a visiting law professor at Columbia\, Harvard\,\nStanford\, and Yale as well as at universities in Australia\, China\, Israel\,\nItaly\, Portugal\, and Sweden. His most recent book\, Drinking Water: A History\, was\npraised as a “Recommended Read” by Scientific American and is in its third\nprinting.
