Institutions, Comparative Advantage, and the Environment
Shapiro, Joseph S. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
indicates that strengthening a country's institutions decreases its pollution through relocating dirty industries abroad, though … increases pollution in other countries. Fifth, cross-country differences in the composition of output between clean and dirty … countries have relatively high pollution levels …

The IPCC Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) : Explained, Evaluated, Replaced
Welch, Ivo - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
Shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) are perhaps the most influential economic policy analyses today. My paper evaluates their development, natural associations, logical consequences, and economic identification. All five SSP baseline scenarios are predicting scenarios that historical...

Building the Prototype Census Environmental Impacts Frame
Voorheis, John L.; Colmer, Jonathan; Houghton, Kendall A.; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
The natural environment is central to all aspects of life, but efforts to quantify its influence have been hindered by data availability and measurement constraints. To mitigate some of these challenges, we introduce a new prototype of a microdata infrastructure: the Census Environmental Impacts...

Improved Transportation Networks Facilitate Adaptation to Pollution and Temperature Extremes
Barwick, Panle Jia; Donaldson, Dave; Li, Shanjun; Lin, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
The social costs of pollution and climate change hinge critically on humans' ability to adapt. Based on transaction … HSR reduces travelers' exposure to extreme air pollution and temperature by 7% and 10%, leading to substantial health …

Estimating the Spatial Amplification of Damage Caused by Degradation in the Amazon
Araujo, Rafael; Assunção, Juliano J.; Hirota, Marina; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
The Amazon rainforests have been undergoing unprecedented levels of human-induced disturbances. In addition to local impacts, such changes are likely to cascade following the eastern-western atmospheric flow generated by trade winds. We propose a model of spatial and temporal interactions...

Cool cities : The value of urban trees
Han, Lu; Heblich, Stephan; Timmins, Christopher; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
This paper estimates the value of urban trees. The empirical strategy exploits an ecological catastrophe -- the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation in Toronto to isolate exogenous variation in neighborhood tree canopy changes. Adding one tree to a postcode increases property prices by 0.40%; the...

Climate Change Around the World
Krusell, Per; Smith, Anthony A. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022
The economic effects of climate change vary across both time and space. To study these effects, this paper builds a global economy-climate model featuring a high degree of geographic resolution. Carbon emissions from the use of energy in production increase the Earth's (average) temperature and...

The Macroeconomic Impact of Climate Change : Global vs. Local Temperature
Bilal, Adrien; Känzig, Diego R. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
This paper estimates that the macroeconomic damages from climate change are six times larger than previously thought. We exploit natural variability in global temperature and rely on time-series variation. A 1°C increase in global temperature leads to a 12% decline in world GDP. Global...

Climate Change, Population Growth, and Population Pressure
Henderson, J. Vernon; Jang, Bo Yeon; Storeygard, Adam; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024
We develop a novel method for assessing the effect of constraints imposed by spatially-fixed natural resources on aggregate economic output. We apply it to estimate and compare the projected effects of climate change and population growth over the course of the 21st century, by country and...
