Four waves of the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey from 2012 to 2018 are used to analyze the effects of temperature shocks on households in different regions. The findings reveal that if temperatures deviate from the long-run average by more than two standard deviations, the Human Development Index score will decline by 2 to 3.5 percentage points, with the most significant effect identified for households in the South and Central Highlands. Additionally, the paper identifies agricultural production, alcohol consumption and energy poverty as channels through which extreme temperatures affect human development.

Understanding deforestation requires comprehension of the human decision-making processes that drive land-use choices. Despite that, there are limited studies about the decision-making process of non-Western Educated Industrialized Rich and Democratic societies. Hence, research and policies on land use/land cover change often assume smallholders' behavior is driven by monetary/food goals (Income Optimization), disregarding previous evidence suggesting otherwise. People may seek to minimize work drudgeries (Time Optimization) or may establish a minimum amount of working time (Time Budget). Through an agent-based model, we investigated which decision-making assumptions-Time Optimization, Time Budget or the combination of both- best explained Khĩsêtjê's behavior, a Brazilian Amazon indigenous society, by comparing deforestation predictions with historical records. Our results suggest indigenous people's decisions are better represented by the (less used) minimum working time assumptions (Budget rule). Models following the Budget rule were also less sensitive to unpredictability in the food amount obtained by a household. The results imply that time categorization may be more prevalent than initially anticipated and could contribute to managing the unpredictability of natural resource availability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51021,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141964578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To obtain a progressive detachment from the Russian energy supply dependency, European countries have been adopting some measures, aimed at switching the natural gas supply from Russia to other countries, reducing the consumption of natural gas, and replacing energy source typology, e.g., switching from methane to coal or renewable sources. This paper develops a tool based on the Input-Output methodology, named Global Sustainability Dashboard (GSD), designed for assessing the potential consequences of a national strategy aimed at replacing energy source suppliers. GSD adopts 14 indicators to consider the three main sustainability dimensions (i.e., economic, environmental, and social) at both the national and global scale. As an illustrative case, the Italian energy diversification strategy is analyzed, to demonstrate the practical implementation of GSD.

Previous studies have identified the impact of specific traded commodities on species diversity, but little evidence of causality from overall exports has been found. Using two-stage least-squares method with an instrument variable (IV-2SLS) and province-level panel data during 1978–2020, this paper explores the biological costs of international trade by investigating the impact of exports from China on domestic species diversity. We also examine the mechanisms through which exports affect species diversity and how heterogeneous factors cause differences on loss of species diversity. Results suggest that a 1% increase in export scale decreases species diversity by 2.28%. We also find that resource exploitation, infrastructure construction and land use are three major channels. Additionally, the provinces with more alien invasive species (over 450) or with higher dependence on exporting leather and textiles (over 16%) may suffer over 4% of species diversity loss per 1% of export scale. Moreover, the loss of plants is 2.43%, which is 0.83% higher than that of animals. Our transdisciplinary work is expected to be helpful for policy makers who pursue dual goals of export development and biodiversity protection.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51021,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141952866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
