Nexus between climatic extremes and household expenditures in rural Bangladesh: a nationally representative panel data analysis
Bangladesh is a country recognized as “ground zero” in terms of vulnerability due to human-induced climate change, for which it bears the brunt of extreme climatic events. In addition, the number of extreme events is disconcertingly increasing nowadays and, jeopardizing its people, particularly in the southern (cyclone-prone), north-western (drought-prone), and east-northern and central (flood-prone) regions by causing instability and a reduction in sources of income for households, which in turn affects household expenditures. To this end, our study sought to determine the nexus between extreme climatic events and household welfare. For this, we adopted pooled OLS (Ordinary Least Square), fixed effects, and random effects models using three (2011–2012, 2015, and 2018–2019) wave nationally representative data sets of the Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS) from rural Bangladesh. The results revealed that climate extremes affect household well-being. Superficially, the fixed effects model (most efficient) showed that climatic extremes led to a 3% decrease in average household expenditures. Moreover, negative coefficients were found for household food and non-food expenditures. Therefore, we propose several policy changes as part of adaptation and mitigation strategies to counter the negative impacts of extreme climate events. These include–income diversification through the creation of off-farm income generating activities (IGAs), an emphasis on sustained technology innovations under the changing climatic conditions, and variety development to tailor solutions to regions suffering from increased saline, droughts, and floods.
期刊介绍:
The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science expands the frontiers of regional science through the diffusion of intrinsically developed and advanced modern, regional science methodologies throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Articles published in the journal foster progress and development of regional science through the promotion of comprehensive and interdisciplinary academic studies in relationship to research in regional science across the globe. The journal’s scope includes articles dedicated to theoretical economics, positive economics including econometrics and statistical analysis and input–output analysis, CGE, Simulation, applied economics including international economics, regional economics, industrial organization, analysis of governance and institutional issues, law and economics, migration and labor markets, spatial economics, land economics, urban economics, agricultural economics, environmental economics, behavioral economics and spatial analysis with GIS/RS data education economics, sociology including urban sociology, rural sociology, environmental sociology and educational sociology, as well as traffic engineering. The journal provides a unique platform for its research community to further develop, analyze, and resolve urgent regional and urban issues in Asia, and to further refine established research around the world in this multidisciplinary field. The journal invites original articles, proposals, and book reviews.The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science is a new English-language journal that spun out of Chiikigakukenkyuu, which has a 45-year history of publishing the best Japanese research in regional science in the Japanese language and, more recently and more frequently, in English. The development of regional science as an international discipline has necessitated the need for a new publication in English. The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science is a publishing vehicle for English-language contributions to the field in Japan, across the complete Asia-Pacific arena, and beyond.Content published in this journal is peer reviewed (Double Blind).
