  <title><![CDATA[Blackburn Presents Research at Columbia University]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>On May 17,&nbsp;School of Economics Ph.D. student Christopher Blackburn&nbsp;presented a paper at the&nbsp;Northeast Workshop on Energy Policy and Environmental Economics&nbsp;at Columbia University.&nbsp;The paper, titled <em>Do Demonstration Projects Work?</em>, was co-authored with Mallory Flowers, alumna of the School of Public Policy,&nbsp;Dan Matisoff, Associate Professor in the School of Public Policy, and Juan Moreno-Cruz, Associate Professor in the School of Economics.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the paper, the authors study the effectiveness of pilot and demonstration projects in increasing the adoption of sustainable building technologies in real estate markets. Using data on pilot projects and adoption of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building standard, the study results show that pilot projects contribute to a 12% increase in the adoption of sustainable building technologies in regions located near the pilot project.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
