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 …

Optimal Carbon Taxation and Horizontal Equity : A Welfare-Theoretic Approach with Application to German Household Data
Hänsel, Martin C.; Franks, Max; Kalkuhl, Matthias; … - 2021
We develop a model of optimal carbon taxation and redistribution taking into account horizontal equity concerns by considering heterogeneous energy efficiencies. By deriving first- and secondbest rules for policy instruments including carbon taxes, transfers and energy subsidies, we then...

Estimating the marginal abatement costs of carbon dioxide emissions in China : a parametric analysis
Du, Limin; Hanley, Aoife; Wei, Chu - 2013
This paper investigates the technical inefficiency, shadow price and substitution elasticity of CO2 emissions of China based on a provincial panel for 2001-2010. Using linear programming to calculate a quadratic parameterized directional output distance function, we show that China’s technical...

The effect of climate policy on productivity and cost pass-through in the German manufacturing sector
Hintermann, Beat; Žarković, Maja; Di Maria, Corrado; … - 2020
We investigate productivity and cost pass-through of German manufacturing firms using administrative data from 2001 to 2014. Our framework allows for the estimation of quantity-based production functions for multi-product firms while controlling for unobserved productivity shocks and unobserved...

Who’s fit for the low-carbon transition? Emerging skills and wage gaps in job and data
Saussay, Aurélien; Sato, Misato; Vona, Francesco; … - 2022
As governments worldwide increase their commitments to tackling climate change, the number of low-carbon jobs are expected to grow rapidly. Here we provide evidence on the characteristics of low-carbon jobs in the US using comprehensive online job postings data between 2010-2019. By accurately...

Spatial Autoregressive Stochastic Frontier Analysis : An Application to an Impact Evaluation Study
Affuso, Ermanno - 2011
This article presents a new framework for the impact evaluation studies of programs that aim to increase efficiency and productivity of firms. Likelihood ratio statistics support a spatial autoregressive stochastic production model that estimates the technical efficiencies of matched subsamples...

Forecasting profitability
Rosenzweig, Mark; Udry, Christopher - 2013
We use newly-available Indian panel data to estimate how the returns to planting-stage investments vary by rainfall realizations. We show that the forecasts significantly affect farmer investment decisions and that these responses account for a substantial fraction of the inter-annual...
