Remoteness and unbalanced growth : understanding divergence across Indian districts

Das, Samarjit; Ghate, Chetan; Robertson, Peter E. - 2013

The existing literature on Indian growth finds no evidence of convergence across states. This represents a puzzle given … income and socio-economic data to explore the hypotheses of conditional convergence, using distance as an indicator of … internal geographical trade and migration costs. We find evidence of conditional convergence for Indian districts but at a rate …

Decentralization, social capital and regional convergence

Mauro, Luciano; Pigliaru, Francesco - 2013

By studying the interaction between social capital and decentralization, we show that political decentralization can be a source of divergence across heterogeneous regions. In particular, we claim that since the local endowments of social capital display their effect on the economy mainly...

Global energy demand in a warming climate

De Cian, Enrica; Wing, Ian Sue - 2016

This paper combines an econometric analysis of the response of energy demand to temperature and humidity exposure with future scenarios of climate change and socioeconomic development to characterize climate impacts on energy demand at different spatial scales. Globally, future climate change is...

Simulated vs. empirical weather responsiveness of crop yields : U.S. evidence and implications for the agricultural impacts of climate change

Mistry, Malcolm N.; Wing, Ian Sue; De Cian, Enrica - 2017

Global gridded crop models (GGCMs) are the workhorse of assessments of the agricultural impacts of climate change. Yet the changes in crop yields projected by different models in response to the same meteorological forcing can differ substantially. Through an inter-method comparison, we provide...

Do temperature thresholds threaten American farmland?

Massetti, Emanuele; Mendelsohn, Robert O. - 2017

Estimated Ricardian models have been criticized because they rely on mean temperatures and do not explicitly include extreme temperatures. This paper uses a cross sectional approach to compare a standard quadratic Ricardian model of mean temperature with a fully flexible daily temperature bin...

Estimating Ricardian models with panel data

Massetti, Emanuele; Mendelsohn, Robert O. - 2011

Many nonmarket valuation models, such as the Ricardian model, have been estimated using cross sectional methods with a single year of data. Although multiple years of data should increase the robustness of such methods, repeated cross sections suggest the results are not stable. We argue that...

Drought management plans and water availability in agriculture : a risk assessment model for a southern European basin

Pérez Blanco, Carlos Dionisio; Gómez, Carlos Mario - 2014

The Drought Management Plans (DMPs) are a regulatory instrument that establishes priorities among the different water uses and defines more stringent constraints to access to publicly provided water during droughts, especially for non-priority uses such as agriculture. These plans have recently...

Impact of climate smart agriculture on food security: an agent-based analysis

Bazzana, Davide; Foltz, Jeremy D.; Zhang, Ying - 2021

The study proposes an agent-based model to investigate how adoption of climate smart agriculture (CSA) affects food security. The analysis investigates the role of social and ecological pressures (i.e. community network, climate change and environmental externalities) on the adoption of physical...

¿Es la planificación energética consistente con los objetivos climáticos? : evaluando emisiones futuras de las centrales eléctricas en América Latina y el Caribe

Marinkovic, Catalina; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien - 2023

At least ten Latin American and Caribbean countries have pledged to achieve carbon neutrality. Has electricity planning in the region evolved towards reaching these goals? We compare power generation capacity in 2023 to announced plans in 2019. We then estimate committed emissions from existing...
