Finally, if I can go back to the PhD, something strikes me. This may be a somewhat theoretical question but we are living in a very strange time where we are testing the limits of elasticity of demand in real time on things like carbon taxes because the price of everything has risen so dramatically. It is an inelasticity that people can only change so fast and so far. What is that telling researchers such as those in NERI about the current economic levers that we are using to make that transition to a more green economy?
