Recent efforts to forge a consensus on the role developing countries should play in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions have focused attention on climate friendly technologies (CFTs). The effectiveness of technology-based climate strategies will depend critically on the rates at which CFTs...

The last decades have witnessed a breaking down of the hitherto quasimonopoly in industrial and technological development by highly industrialized countries. Man-made changes in comparative advantage due to rapid accumulation of human capital, development of technical institutions, and public...

Developing and emerging economies face enormous challenges to reconcile economic development and job creation with decarbonization. An essential aspect of such "early-stage" decoupling of growth and carbon emissions is to develop a skill base that favours the diffusion of green productions and...

Renewable energy can play a vital role in sustainable energy future and to address the climate change. Investment in renewable energy in the upper middle-income countries (UMIC), a major contributor to global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, can be an important part of recovery from climate...

I show that rising temperatures can detrimentally affect the sovereign creditworthiness of emerging economies. To this end, I collect long-term monthly temperature data of 54 emerging countries. I calculate a country’s temperature deviation from its historical average, which approximates...

Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are a global public good, which makes it efficient to act globally when addressing this challenge. We lay out several reasons that high-income countries seeking to mitigate climate change might have greater impact if they invest their resources in...

Financial Technology has shifted the way consumers use banking. Implementing new technology like big data, analytics, cloud computing and deep learning, banks can significantly improve accessibility, inclusivity, and increase profitability for banks. This article looks at the possible effect of...

This paper aims at assessing the effects of real exchange rate overvaluation over the export composition for developing countries in a time span of 1970-2004. For this intent, it is estimated an exchange rate overvaluation index by using panel cointegration techniques (Dynamic Ordinary Least...
