We characterize the class of <em>externality-adjusted proportional rules</em> and show that they strike a balance between fairness and minimizing environmental damage in the river.

The present paper analyzes the relationship between women politicians and air pollution levels in the context of Italy.

We show that the enforcement of Law 215 significantly reduces the number of days per year when at least one among all the different types of air monitoring stations installed in the provincial capital municipalities detects excess levels of PM10 and PM2.5 with respect to their daily limit. We also assess the causal impact of female in city council on the measures of air pollution by the Wald estimator that shows negative sign meaning that an increase in the percentage of female councilors reduces air pollution. 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. Furthermore, the effect diminishes as the distance from the cyclone's eye increases. 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. Moreover, the cyclone impacts are more pronounced for younger demographics, individuals of higher socioeconomic status, and inhabitants of coastal or historically cyclone-affected areas.

With regulation, investments exhibit strategic complementarities, with and without economies of scope, leading to more investments in cost-reducing R&amp;D, thus requiring more stringent emission fees. Assuming that firms invest in only one form of R&amp;D, a traditional approach in the literature, gives rise to an undertaxation problem.

Decentralized renewable energy sources, which are often promoted as a tool to achieve sustainable development, could help alleviate these constraints by providing “clean” electricity to locations that are difficult to reach with the centralized electric grid. We investigate whether electrification in Nepal – via microhydro plants and their mini-grids – helped grow the manufacturing sector and thereby induce structural transformation. Mini-grids led to a small but statistically significant increase in manufacturing establishments. Following electrification, females and males were more likely to be employees and less likely to be self-employed. Likewise, usual employment activities shifted from labor in agriculture to salary and wage work. In locations with smaller generation capacities, the impacts of mini-grids on labor-related outcomes were smaller. There is suggestive evidence of larger impacts in locations with better market access.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Economics and Management","volume":"130 ","pages":"Article 103092"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143181983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Observing 77,305 durable goods purchase decisions in a refrigerator replacement program, our RD design exploits two quasi-exogenous temporal discontinuities in voucher value and procedures. Despite seeming disadvantageous, the procedural changes actually raise replacement rates among the target demographic of low-income households, an effect roughly equivalent to raising voucher values by 35 Euro.

We use panel data on prescribed burn permits across the southeastern U.S. states to empirically estimate (i) how climate and previous large wildfire events affect prescribed burn decisions and (ii) how climate and prescribed burning affect the occurrence of large wildfires. Based on an instrumental variables identification strategy, our estimated simultaneous system finds that a hotter and drier climate will increase prescribed burning, with landowner adaptation to corresponding wildfire risk being a key mechanism. By 2050, we find that a hotter and drier future climate will increase the number of large wildfires from 27 per year under current conditions to 36 per year with climate change but no climate adaptation, and 29 large wildfires per year with both climate change and climate adaptation.

The results show that high wet-bulb temperatures adversely affect birth outcomes.
