This study investigates the relationship between distinct types of inequality and CO2 emissions using panel data on 156 countries from 1995 to 2020. Using fixed effects panel and quantile regression techniques, we report estimates that indicate that pre-distribution (inequality reduction by...

In 2015, an estimated 429,000 deaths and 212 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide, while 70% of the deaths occurred in children under five years old. Changes in climatic exposure such as temperature and precipitation makes malaria one of the most climate sensitive outcomes. Using a global...

. This paper proposes a new estimator for non-stationary panel data models, a bandspectrum cointegration estimator. The … bandspectrum cointegration estimator uses first differenced data to avoid spurious results. Such estimates are, however, less … bandspectrum cointegration estimator is more efficient than common time domain estimators, for example VECM and OLS levels …

The effects of extreme weather events, such as heat waves and droughts are taken into account in both global and … extreme weather events, in particular, droughts and high temperatures, for the German power sector. Furthermore, we consider … droughts. We stress that increasing frequencies of such extreme weather events will aggravate the observed problem, especially …

Die wirtschaftspolitischen Implikationen der Klimaanpassung sind entscheidend für die Ausgestaltung einer eigenständigen Klimaanpassungspolitik und geben gleichzeitig wichtige Anreize zu politischem Handeln. Dieses Papier diskutiert daher eine mögliche wirtschaftspolitische Ausrichtung der...

Klimaanpassungspolitik wird in Deutschland auf verschiedenen politischen Ebenen betrieben. Dieses Papier untersucht auf Grundlage der ökonomischen Theorie der Anpassungspolitik Defizite dieser Politikansätze. Diese liegen in erster Linie in den folgenden Bereichen: unklare Abgrenzung von...

We suggest using a class of semiparametric dynamic panel data models to capture individual variations in panel data. The model assumes linearity in some continu ous/discrete variables which can be exogenous/endogenous, and allows for nonlinearity in other weakly exogenous variables. We propose a...

This paper examines the stationarity of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per capita for a set of 36 countries covering the period 1870-2006. We employ recently developed unit root and stationarity tests that allow for the mean reverting process to be nonlinear and take into account cross sectional...

The standard approach to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) holds that as a country develops and GDP per capita grows environmental degradation initially increases but eventually it reaches a turning point where environmental degradation begins to decline. Environmental degradation takes many...

We investigate whether the degree of energy dependency of countries influences their macroeconomic performance in terms of long-run growth. Specifically, we study whether the impact of energy price changes on economic growth differs depending on a country's degree of energy dependency. There are...
