The Economic Impact of Weather and Climate
Tol, Richard S. J. - 2021
I propose a new conceptual framework to disentangle the impacts of weather and climate on economic activity and growth …: A stochastic frontier model with climate in the production frontier and weather shocks as a source of inefficiency. I … test it on a sample of 160 countries over the period 1950-2014. Temperature and rainfall determine production possibilities …

Internal Migration Across Italian Regions : Macroeconomic Determinants and Accommodating Potential for a Dualistic Economy
Piras, Romano - 2010
We provide econometric evidence that relative per capita GDP and relative unemployment rates are the main determinants of migration flows across Italian regions from 1970 to 2002. The empirical analysis is based on an accurate study of the dynamic properties of the series. In fact, we deal with...

Governance Fragmentation and Urban Spatial Expansion : Evidence from Europe and the United States
Beghelli, Silvia - 2020
This study assesses the effects of urban governance structure on the spatial expansion of metropolitan areas. A more fragmented governance structure, represented by a high number of administrative units with decision power on land use per inhabitant, is expected to increase the competition...

Transboundary Capital and Pollution Flows and the Emergence of Regional Inequalities
Levin, Simon - 2015
We seek to explain the emergence of spatial heterogeneity regarding development and pollution on the basis of interactions associated with the movement of capital and polluting activities from one economy to another. We use a simple dynamical model describing capital accumulation along the lines...

Industrial Coal Demand in China : A Provincial Analysis
Manera, Matteo - 2013
In recent years, concerns regarding the environmental implications of the rising coal demand have induced considerable efforts to generate long-term forecasts of China's energy requirements. Nevertheless, none of the previous empirical studies on energy demand for China has tackled the issue of...

Commuting in Europe : An Inter-regional Analysis on its Determinants and Spatial Effects
Castelli, Chiara; Parenti, Angela - 2021
Commuting shapes countless everyday-lives around the world, with dynamics varying from city to regional and cross regional level. Taking as reference the free-movement EU-28 area (plus Switzerland and Norway), the analysis considers a total sample of 195 NUTS2 regions over the decade 2007-2017...

Robust Control of a Spatially Distributed Commercial Fishery
Brock, William A.; Xepapadeas, Anastasios; … - 2013
We consider a robust control model for a spatially distributed commercial fishery under uncertainty, and in particular a tracking problem, i.e. the problem of robust stabilization of a chosen deterministic benchmark state in the presence of model uncertainty. The problem is expressed in the form...
