GatE:
A truly astonishing piece of work in which the author Mark Atlas proceeds to do a pretty convincing hatchet job on a very large number of applied "environmental economics" papers (550) including one of mine :-( (I am part of an et al).
It is hard to argue with much in the 715 pages (and over 4,000 footnotes) from what I have read so far.
Anyone doing applied environmental economics has to at least attempt to read some of this report.
Thanks to Aquanomics (a very fine new "...nomics" to add to my collection) for the hat tip.
The Aqunomics article on this topic is certainly worth a read for its "academic bun fight" report.
It is very impressive that Atlas went to the lengths he has gone to in this paper (and his post reported in Aquanomics). This paper deserves to be read by anyone purporting to be an environmental economist.
Back to the report......where does something like this get published? A little long for JEEM unfortunately.
My papers will never be the same again...

Apologies to David: I've been trying to reblog the Aguanomics post all day but couldn't decide what text to excerpt. In other words, I've been a bit of a coward.
