Differential exposure to climate change? : evidence from the 2021 floods in Germany
Odersky, Moritz; Löffler, Max - 2023
natural disasters intensified by anthropogenic climate change. To this end, we link official geo-coded satellite data on flood …-affected buildings to neighborhood-level information on socio-economic status. We then document the empirical relationship between flood … percent lower in flood-affected neighborhoods than in non-affected neighborhoods nearby. Our study is the first to document …

Chapter 7. Quasi-experimental methods in environmental economics: Opportunities and challenges
Deschenes, Olivier; Meng, Kyle C. - In: Handbook of environmental economics : Volume 4, (pp. 285-332). 2018
This paper examines the application of quasi-experimental methods in environmental economics. We begin with two observations: (i) standard quasi-experimental methods, first applied in other microeconomic fields, typically assume unit-level treatments that do not spill over across units; (ii)...

Climate change in Latin America and the Caribbean: Policy options and research priorities
Feld, Brian; Galiani, Sebastian - In: Latin American Economic Review 24 (2015) 1, pp. 1-39
Although climate change is filled with uncertainties, a broad set of policies proposed to address this issue can be grouped in two categories: mitigation and adaptation. Developed countries that are better prepared to cope with climate change have stressed the importance of mitigation, which...

Economic prospects of ocean iron fertilization in an international carbon market
Rickels, Wilfried; Rehdanz, Katrin; Oschlies, Andreas - 2009
To stay within the 2êC temperature increase target for climate change calls for ambitious emission reduction targets already for the 2012-2020 compliance period. Cost-efficiency is a crucial criterion for the enforcement of such ambitious targets, requiring analyses of all possible abatement...

Accounting for CO2 emissions from international shipping : burden sharing under different UNFCCC allocation options and regime scenarios
Heitmann, Nadine; Khalilian, Setareh - 2010
CO2 emissions from international shipping, which are currently unregulated, are predicted to rise from 2.7% today to 18% in 2050. International bunker fuel emissions have been excluded from any commitment in the Kyoto Protocol; the UNFCCC conference in Copenhagen also failed to bring about clear...

Assessing China's energy conservation and carbon intensity : how will the future differ from the past?
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2010 - This version: May 24, 2010
As an important step towards building a "harmonious society" through "scientific development", China has incorporated for the first time in its five-year economic plan an energy input indicator as a constraint. While it achieved a quadrupling of its GDP while cutting its energy intensity by...

Optimal adaptation and mitigation to climate change in small environmental economies
Chisari, Omar O.; Galiani, Sebastián; Miller, Sebastián - 2013
This paper compares the optimal dynamic choices between policies of mitigation and adaptation for three economies: Brazil, Chile and the United States. The focus is on the optimal role of mitigation and adaptation for “environmentally small economies,” i.e., economies that are witnessing an...
