We use a multilevel approach to characterize the relationship between weather shocks and (internal and international …) migration intentions. We combine individual survey data on migration intentions with measures of localized weather shocks for … the specification of weather anomalies that maximizes the goodness of fit of our empirical model. We then use this best …

A dynamic multi-stage decision-theoretic approach is introduced to establish the optimal offset and its incidence, the contract price arising from bargaining, and the scale of the acquisition. A new rationale is suggested for offsets in terms of their role as an insurance devise. Results are...
