Burden of Climate Change on Malaria Mortality
Dasgupta, Shouro - 2017
In 2015, an estimated 429,000 deaths and 212 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide, while 70% of the deaths … occurred in children under five years old. Changes in climatic exposure such as temperature and precipitation makes malaria one … of the most climate sensitive outcomes. Using a global malaria mortality dataset for 105 countries between 1980 and 2010 …

An explicit formula for optimal carbon taxes under general economic settings
Li, Chuan-Zhong - 2018
The paper develops an explicit formula for the calculation of optimal carbon taxes in a dynamic integrated assessment framework. We attempt to generalize the Gosolov et al. (2014) theory by relaxing the restrictions with logarithmic preferences, Cobb-Douglas production and the full periodwise...

Cross-Border financial effects of global warming
Carnevali, Emilio; Deleidi, Matteo; Pariboni, Riccardo; … - 2019
We develop an ecological open-economy SFC model that enables testing cross-area interactions among productive sectors, financial markets and the ecosystem. We show that the unequal technical progress across areas, coupled with rising ecological awareness, can force governments of less...

Optimal Carbon Dioxide Removal in Face of Ocean Carbon Sink Feedback
Manoussi, Vassiliki; Shayegh, Soheil; Tavoni, Massimo - 2017
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a potentially important climate strategy for attaining low climate stabilization objectives. However, climate analysis has indicated a possible weakening of the ocean carbon sinks -the largest in the world- in relation to CDR deployment. Here, we provide an...

Factor mimicking portfolios for climate risk
De Nard, Gianluca; Engle, Robert F.; Kelly, Bryan T. - 2024
We propose and implement a procedure to optimally hedge climate change risk. First, we construct climate risk indices through textual analysis of newspapers. Second, we present a new approach to compute factor mimicking portfolios to build climate risk hedge portfolios. The new mimicking...

Unequal contributions to CO2 emissions along the income distribution within and between countries
Cappelli, Federica - 2024
The question of whether changes in income inequality affect CO2 emissions remains a topic of debate at both theoretical and empirical levels. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of changes in the full spectre of income distribution on consumptionbased CO2 emissions per capita. To...

Macroeconomic spillovers of weather shocks across U.S. states
Bacchiocchi, Emanuele; Bastianin, Andrea; Moramarco, … - 2024
We estimate the short-run effects of severe weather shocks on local economic activity and assess cross-border spillovers operating through economic linkages between U.S. states. We measure weather shocks using a detailed county-level database on emergency declarations triggered by natural...

How the nature of inequality reduction matters for CO2 emissions
Angel, Tobias; Berthe, Alexandre; Costantini, Valeria; … - 2024
This study investigates the relationship between distinct types of inequality and CO2 emissions using panel data on 156 countries from 1995 to 2020. Using fixed effects panel and quantile regression techniques, we report estimates that indicate that pre-distribution (inequality reduction by...
