Flooded house or underwater mortgage? : the implications of climate change and adaptation on housing, income, and wealth
Straten, Yasmine van der - 2023
I study the implications of climate change and adaptation on housing and income, and wealth. I embed climate change in a redistributive growth model by introducing exposure of households and firms to extreme weather events, that damage their housing capital and physical capital, respectively....

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 …

Climate change and inclusive growth in Africa
Mamman, Suleiman O.; Kazi Sohag; Abubakar, Attahir Babaji - In: Cogent economics & finance 11 (2023) 2, pp. 1-13
Africa's pursuit of inclusive and sustainable economic growth is impeded by many challenges, including climate change, whose effect is most apparent in the continent's tropical regions. To this end, this study investigates the impact of climate change on achieving pro-poor economic growth in...

Climate change and income inequality : an empirical analysis
Mumtaz, Haroon; Theophilopoulou, Angeliki - 2023
The role of climate change on economic performance and output has been studied extensively in the empirical literature, however, its distributional effects have received little attention. This paper attempts to fill this gap by investigating whether climate shocks affect income inequality in a...

Global income distribution and poverty : implications from the IPCC SRES scenarios
Calzadilla, Alvaro - 2010
The Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) has been widely used to analyze climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation. The storylines behind these scenarios outline alternative development pathways, which have been the base for climate research and other studies at global,...

Inequality and the social cost of carbon
Anthoff, David; Emmerling, Johannes - 2016
This paper presents a novel way to disentangle inequality aversion over time from inequality aversion between regions in the computation of the Social Cost of Carbon. Our approach nests a standard efficiency based Social Cost of Carbon estimate and an equity weighted Social Cost of Carbon...

Climate change, inequality, and human migration
Burzyńskia, Michał; Deuster, Christoph; Docquier, … - 2019
This paper investigates the long-term implications of climate change on local, interregional, and international migration of workers. For nearly all of the world's countries, our micro-founded model jointly endogenizes the effects of changing temperature and sea level on income distribution and...

How the nature of inequality reduction matters for CO2 emissions
Angel, Tobias; Berthe, Alexandre; Costantini, Valeria; … - 2024
This study investigates the relationship between distinct types of inequality and CO2 emissions using panel data on 156 countries from 1995 to 2020. Using fixed effects panel and quantile regression techniques, we report estimates that indicate that pre-distribution (inequality reduction by...

Unequal contributions to CO2 emissions along the income distribution within and between countries
Cappelli, Federica - 2024
The question of whether changes in income inequality affect CO2 emissions remains a topic of debate at both theoretical and empirical levels. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of changes in the full spectre of income distribution on consumptionbased CO2 emissions per capita. To...
