The Impact of the German Autobahn Net on Regional Labor Market Performance: A Study Using Historical Instrument Variables
Möller, Joachim; Zierer, Marcus - 2014
This paper analyzes the impact of the German autobahn net on the economic performance of German regions. To address endogeneity and reverse causation problems, we use historical instrument variables, i.e. a plan of the railroad net in 1890 and a plan of the autobahn net in 1937. We find a...

Greener Fleet, Cleaner Air: How Low Emission Zones Reduce Pollution
Aydin, Eren; Gehrsitz, Markus; Traxler, Christian - 2024
Using a stacked differences-in-differences approach, we study the effects of Low Emission Zones (LEZs) in Germany. The implementation of stage 1 and 2 LEZs, which banned the most pollution-intensive vehicles from city centers, significantly reduced PM10 concentrations. The most restrictive third...

Exploring the Causality Links between Energy and Employment in African Countries
Arouri, Mohamed El Hedi; Ben Youssef, Adel; M'henni, Hatem - 2014
Using a bootstrap panel analysis that allows for cross-country dependence, without requiring the use of pre-tests for a unit root, we study the causality links between energy use and employment for a sample of 16 African countries over the 1991-2010 period (according to availability of...

Energy Consumption and Health Outcomes in Africa
BenYoussef, Adel; Lannes, Laurence; Rault, Christophe; … - 2016
We examine causal links between energy consumption and health indicators (Mortality rate under-5, life expectancy, greenhouse effect, and government expenditure per capita) for a sample of 16 African countries over the period 1971-2010 (according to availability of countries' data). We use the...

Energy consumption, economic growth and CO2 emissions in Middle East and North African countries
Arouri, Mohamed El Hedi; Youssef, Adel Ben; M'henni, Hatem - 2012
dioxide emissions, energy consumption, and real GDP for 12 Middle East and North African Countries (MENA) over the period 1981 …-2005. Our results show that in the long-run energy consumption has a positive significant impact on CO2 emissions. More … interestingly, we show that real GDP exhibits a quadratic relationship with CO2 emissions for the region as a whole. However …

Women's Mobility and Labor Supply: Experimental Evidence from Pakistan
Garlick, Robert; Field, Erica; Vyborny, Kate - 2025
We study whether commuting barriers constrain women's labor supply in urban Pakistan. We randomize offers of gender-segregated or mixed-gender commuting services at varying prices. Women-only transport more than doubles job application rates, while mixed-gender transport has minimal effects on...
