Climate change and migration : the case of Africa
Conte, Bruno - 2022
This paper estimates the impacts of climate change in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) on migration and other economic outcomes. I develop a quantitative spatial model that captures the role of trade networks, migration barriers, and agricultural yields on the geography of the economy. I combine the...

Climatic factors as determinants of international migration
Beine, Michel; Parsons, Christopher A. - 2012 - This version: February 2012
We examine environmental factors as potential determinants of international migration. We distinguish between unexpected short-run factors, captured by natural disasters, as well as long-run climate change and climate variability. Building on a simple neo-classical model we use a panel dataset...

Climate change and migration : a dynamic model
Mason, Charles F. - 2016 - This version: October 9, 2016
In this paper I explore a model where citizens of a country vulnerable to damages from climate change may migrate to a second country, from which a steady stream of greenhouse gases occur. If this migration imposes costs on the emitting country, then migration induces a sort of pseudo carbon...

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....

Does climate change make foodgrain yields more unpredictable : evidence from India
Verma, Saumya; Gupta, Shreekant; Sen, Partha - 2020
How would climate change affect India’s agriculture which accounts for sixty percent of employment? We study the impact … of climate change on the level and variability of yields of rice (India’s major food crop) and two key millet crops … (sorghum and pearl millet), using an all India district level panel dataset from 1966-2011. A stochastic production function is …

The cost of migrating to a culturally different location
Falck, Oliver; Lameli, Alfred; Ruhose, Jens - 2014
Ever since Sjaastad (1962), researchers have struggled to quantify the psychic cost of migration. We monetize psychic cost as the wage premium for moving to a culturally different location. We combine administrative social security panel data with a proxy for cultural difference based on...

Earnings assimilation of post-reunification East German migrants in West Germany
Riphahn, Regina T.; Sauer, Irakli - 2024
We investigate the wage assimilation of East Germans who migrated to West Germany after reunification (1990-1999). We compare their wage assimilation to that of ethnic German immigrants from Eastern Bloc countries and international immigrants to West Germany who arrived at the same time. The...
