Here's a public policy idea to reduce pollution:
Require luxury private jets to use Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). If you're not familiar with SAF, take a minute to learn more about it.
SAF burns cleaner, and it can, depending on the raw materials used, have a dramatically lower carbon footprint than fossil jet fuel. And it costs 10x as much.

Sustainable aviation fuel gets a boost from the Inflation Reduction Act - Marketplace
Right now, sustainable aviation fuel is “a drop in the bucket” compared to conventional jet fuel. But that might not be for long.

Reducing Marketplace Interference Bias Via Shadow Prices
Marketplace companies rely heavily on experimentation when making changes to the design or operation of their platforms. The workhorse of experimentation is the randomized controlled trial (RCT), or A/B test, in which users are randomly assigned to treatment or control groups. However, marketplace interference causes the Stable Unit Treatment Value Assumption (SUTVA) to be violated, leading to bias in the standard RCT metric. In this work, we propose techniques for platforms to run standard RCT…
