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...

Climate-induced international migration and conflicts
Cattaneo, Cristina; Bosetti, Valentina - 2016
Population movements will help people facing the impact of climate change. However, the resulting large scale displacements may also produce security risks for receiving areas. The objective of this paper is to empirically estimate if the inflows of climate-induced migrants increase the risk of...

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...
