The Slow Demographic Transition in Regions Vulnerable to Climate Change
Dao, Thang; Kalkuhl, Matthias; Vasilakis, Chrysovalantis - 2022
We consider how the demographic transition has been shaped in regions that are the least developed and the most vulnerable to climate change. Environmental conditions affect intra-household labor allocation because of the impacts on local resources under the poor infrastructural system. Climate...

The Effects of Climate Change in the Poorest Countries: Evidence from the Permanent Shrinking of Lake Chad
Jedwab, Remi; Haslop, Federico; Zarate, Roman; … - 2023
Empirical studies of the economic effects of climate change (CC) largely rely on climate anomalies for causal identification purposes. Slow and permanent changes in climate-driven geographical conditions, i.e. CC as defined by the IPCC (2013), have been studied relatively less, especially in...

Human Capital and Climate Change
Angrist, Noam; Winseck, Kevin; Patrinos, Harry A.; … - 2023
Addressing climate change requires individual behavior change and voter support for pro-climate policies, yet surprisingly little is known about how to achieve these outcomes. In this paper, we estimate causal effects of additional education on pro-climate outcomes using new compulsory schooling...

Greenhouse Gas Mitigation and Price-Driven Growth in a Solow-Swan Economy with an Environmental Limit
Burda, Michael C.; Zessner-Spitzenberg, Leopold - 2024
The existence of an environmental limit in the Solow-Swan economy changes the nature of economic growth, but does not preclude it. When atmospheric greenhouse gases reach a predetermined absolute threshold, further growth requires a permanently expanding, resource-intensive mitigation effort. If...
