A real-option analysis of climate change and international migration
Braun, Marius - 2021
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...

Where do migrants from countries ridden by environmental conflict settle? : On the scale, selection and sorting of conflict-induced migration
Krieger, Tim; Renner, Laura; Schmid, Lena - 2019
Environmentally induced conflicts can trigger migration. This paper analyzes the location decisions of migrants, i.e., the "sorting" of migrants into alternative destinations. We argue that this sorting depends on a variety of factors. The selection of migrants affects preferences over where to...

Climatic factors as determinants of international migration
Beine, Michel; Parsons, Christopher A. - 2012 - This version: February 2012
We examine environmental factors as potential determinants of international migration. We distinguish between unexpected short-run factors, captured by natural disasters, as well as long-run climate change and climate variability. Building on a simple neo-classical model we use a panel dataset...

Climate anomalies and international migration : a disaggregated analysis for West Africa
Martinez Flores, Fernanda; Milusheva, Sveta; Reichert, … - 2021
Migration is one of the channels West African populations can use to adjust to the negative impacts of climate change. Using novel geo-referenced and high-frequency data, this study investigates the extent to which soil moisture anomalies drive international migration decisions within the region...

Climate shocks, agriculture, and migration in Nepal : disentangling the interdependencies
Arslan, Aslıhan; Egger, Eva-Maria; Mane, Erdgin; … - World Institute for Development Economics Research - 2021
Climate change is expected to increase the risk in agricultural production due to increasing temperatures and rainfall variability. Smallholders can adjust by diversifying income sources, including through migration. Most existing studies investigate whether households send a migrant after...

Managing the impact of climate on migration : evidence from Mexico
Chort, Isabelle; De La Rupelle, Maëlys - 2022
While there is a growing literature on the impact of climate and weather-related events on migration, little is known about the mitigating effect of different policies directed to the agricultural sector, or aimed at insuring against environmental disasters. This paper uses state-level data on...

From stocks to flows - evidence for the climate-migration-nexus
Berlemann, Michael; Haustein, Erik; Steinhardt, Max … - 2021
Slow onset climate change has the potential to cause significant migration flows. Scientists have recently made considerable efforts to quantify these flows based on empirical methods. However, the literature on international migration has failed to come to a clear conclusion as many studies...

800,000 years of climate risk
Adrian, Tobias; Boyarchenko, Nina; Giannone, Domenico; … - 2022
We use a long history of global temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration to estimate the conditional joint evolution of temperature and CO2 at a millennial frequency. We document three basic facts. First, the temperature-CO2 dynamics are non-linear, so that large deviations...
