The potential impact of climate change on international migration patterns has recently received considerable attention in both the public and academic debate. Yet, much of the empirical literature fails to find increases in international migration due to climate change. The current paper...

In recent decades, the European Union has experienced an increase in the frequency of climate-related natural disasters. While a large body of literature analyzing the impact of natural disasters on migration patterns in the U.S. and other areas has emerged, little research has been conducted...

While climate policy studies are widespread, fully fledged computable general equilibrium (CGE) model analyses of distributional policy effects are challenging because the required data and approaches are not directly available. To ease such distributional analyses, we provide a step-by-step...

Immigrants’ higher responsiveness to regional differences in labor market conditions has long been recognized as a potentially important adjustment mechanism to labor market shocks such as the European debt crisis from 2010 onwards. Using household- level data for the Euro Area from 2007 to...

Understanding and accurately estimating the effects of climate change on migration patterns may be an important concern for future climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts. In this context, issues of spatial dependence are likely relevant but have largely been neglected by previous...

This letter investigates the effect of remittances on the migration response to climatic shocks. Using state-level data on Mexico-US migration between 2003 and 2017, we conduct dynamic system-GMM estimations in order to address the potential endogeneity of remittances. Our findings suggest that...
