We develop a stylized general equilibrium model to decompose the rebound effect of energy efficiency improvements into its partial and general equilibrium components. In our theoretical analysis, we identify key drivers of the general equilibrium rebound effect, including a composition channel,...

Dividing the burden for greenhouse gas abatement amongst the provinces has proven challenging in Canada, and is a major factor contributing to Canada's poor historic performance on greenhouse gas abatement. As the country aims to achieve substantial cuts to emissions over the next decade and by...

This paper offers new causal evidence on how the timing of prenatal temperature shocksaffects fetal health, sex ratio at birth, and infant mortality. Analyzing data on nearly 2million live births from sub-Saharan African countries and exploiting exogenous spatialand temporal variation in monthly...
