Quantifying the ancillary benefits of the representative concentration pathways on air quality in Europe

Šcasný, Milan; Massetti, Emanuele; Melichar, Jan; … - 2015

This paper presents estimates of the economic benefit of air quality improvements in Europe that occur as a side effect of GHG emission reductions. We consider three climate policy scenarios that reach radiative forcing levels in 2100 of three Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). These...

Investments and financial flows induced by climate mitigation policies

Bastianin, Andrea; Favero, Alice; Massetti, Emanuele - 2010

In this paper we use the hybrid integrated model WITCH to quantify and analyze the investments and financial flows stimulated by a climate policy to stabilize Greenhouse Gases concentrations at 550ppm CO2-eq at the end of the century. We focus on investments to decarbonize the power sector and...

A Ricardian Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change on European Agriculture

Van Passel, Steven - 2014

This research estimates the impact of climate on European agriculture using a continental scale Ricardian analysis. Climate, soil, geography and regional socio-economic variables are matched with farm level data from 37,612 farms across Western Europe. We demonstrate that a median quantile...

The migration response to increasing temperatures

Cattaneo, Cristina; Peri, Giovanni - 2015

Climate change, especially the warming trend experienced by several countries, could affect agricultural productivity. As a consequence, rural incomes will change, and with them the incentives for people to remain in rural areas. Using data from 116 countries between 1960 and 2000, we analyze...

Migration and climate change in rural Africa

Cattaneo, Cristina; Massetti, Emanuele - 2015

We analyse whether migration is an adaptation that households employ to cope with climate in Ghana and Nigeria. If migration is part of the present adaptation portfolio of households in developing countries, it is reasonable to expect that it will also be an adaptation to future climate change....

The Impact of Global Warming on Rural-Urban Migrations : Evidence from Global Big Data

Peri, Giovanni - 2019

This paper examines the impact of temperature changes on rural-urban migration using a 56km×56km grid cell level dataset covering the whole world at 10-year frequency during the period 1970-2000. We find that rising temperatures reduce rural-urban migration in poor countries and increase such...

What happens to the careers of European workers when immigrants "take their jobs"?

Cattaneo, Cristina; Fiorio, Carlo V.; Peri, Giovanni - 2014

Following a representative longitudinal sample of native European residents, over the period 1995-2001, we identify the effect of the inflows of immigrants on their career, employment and wages. We use the 1991 distribution of immigrants by nationality across European labor markets to construct...
