The focus is on Mongolia, where index-based livestock insurance is offered as a commercial product to pastoralists threatened by extreme weather events that cause high livestock mortality. The analysis draws on district-level data covering the whole country, spanning eleven years. Our study exploits a particular feature in the design of the Mongolian index insurance: The insurance sales period predates the payout period of the previous insurance season, which allows us to separate the effects of risk exposure from the income effects of payouts. Results from a two-way fixed effects model show that demand for index insurance increases in areas exposed to adverse winter conditions during the insurance sales period, when pastoralists have to decide about purchasing insurance coverage for next year's winter. We argue that results are best explained by availability bias, with households adapting their risk perception in response to adverse weather conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Management","volume":"130 ","pages":"Article 103113"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143181985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research provides evidence of the most likely mechanism driving these results by showing that an increase in female officeholders due to Law 215 has a positive impact on a number of environmental friendly policies and measures (e.g. cycle lanes, urban green spaces, district heating) aimed at reducing harmful air particles.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Management","volume":"130 ","pages":"Article 103106"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143181976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings reveal that only the most severe category 5 cyclones significantly increase the likelihood of individuals acquiring PHI in both the concurrent and subsequent years.

The largest estimated cumulated impact amounts to over 5 percentage points, representing approximately 11% of the sample mean and aligns with documented effects of certain PHI policies aimed at enhancing coverage. Furthermore, our findings withstand a series of sensitivity assessments, including a placebo test and three randomization examinations.
