First, water is crucial for local development. Second, there was a large volume of resources employed. Finally, many people were affected by the project. To fill the gap in the literature, this research proposes to verify the impacts on the low-income population living in municipalities that received water from PISF in 2017. To reach this purpose, we applied a Differences in Differences identification method using three different control groups, considering 2016 and 2018 as the before and after treatment periods. We investigated the effects on individual and family income <em>per capita</em>, whether individuals had a paid work, and whether they participated in the <em>Bolsa Familia Program</em>, a Brazilian income transfer program. The main results imply that the project has generally played a positive role in low-income population lives in the short term.

The findings demonstrate that both CHC and OPC exert a positive and significant influence on GH, indicating that increased health expenditures enhance health outcomes. Globalization exerts a detrimental moderating influence on the correlation between health expenditures and positive health outcomes, indicating that globalization may introduce elements like economic volatility and inequality that diminish the efficacy of health spending. This study enhances the literature by including globalization into the Health Production Function model and providing novel insights into the issues encountered by emerging nations in optimizing health investments.

This study examines how climate shocks affect financial stress in European countries, focusing on three key factors: Climate Policy Uncertainty (CPU), Annual Surface Temperature Change (AST), and Atmospheric CO₂ Concentration (ACC). Using data from selected European countries between 2000 and 2022, the study applied the Generalized Method of Moment Panel Vector Autoregressive (GMM-PVAR) model to analyze these relationships. The results show that financial stress reacts differently to climate shocks in the short term and long term. Initially, climate shocks may temporarily reduce financial stress, possibly due to their effects on stock and currency markets. However, over time, they lead to increased financial stress across all financial sectors. The study also highlights the growing influence of CPU and AST on financial stress fluctuations. These findings underline the need for effective risk management strategies in the financial sector to address climate risks. Additionally, greater investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency is crucial to mitigate temperature increases and reduce CO₂ emissions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"17 5","pages":"Article 100181"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143421996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study used Fixed Effects (FE), Random Effects (RE), and Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) estimations to emphasise the importance of these variables in driving economic growth. The Fixed Effects model indicates that the money supply (M2) has a positive and significant impact on economic growth (coefficient of 0.032, p < 0.05), while inflation has a negative impact (coefficient of −0.045, p < 0.05). The Random Effects model shows comparable patterns, with money supply and inflation coefficients of 0.028 (p < 0.05) and −0.038 (p < 0.10), respectively. According to the RE model, FDI has a positive impact on growth (coefficient = 0.021, p < 0.10). However, government spending (GOVEXP) remains statistically insignificant in both scenarios. The GMM calculation confirms that money supply (0.027, p < 0.05) and inflation (-0.042, p < 0.05) have a significant positive and negative impact on economic growth, respectively. FDI contributes favourably with a coefficient of 0.024 (p < 0.10), while government expenditure is insignificant. Lagged GDP growth is a significant factor, with a coefficient of 0.215 (p < 0.05), indicating sustained economic expansion throughout time. The findings emphasise the importance of monetary policy, inflation management, and attracting foreign direct investment in encouraging long-term economic growth, while government spending appears to have less influence in the short run. These findings offer policymakers evidence-based recommendations for developing effective economic strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"17 2","pages":"Article 100159"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
