The authors of this paper use household-level panel data to estimate drivers of clean cooking technology adoption and sustained fuel use in India Read more

The authors of this paper use a global ocean-biogeochemical model to show that seasonal variability in a spatially uniform flux attenuation can lead to spatial variability emerging in annual mean transfer efficiency that matches observations of being higher at high latitudes than in low latitudes Read more

This paper analyses the dynamic interaction between diverse expectations, investment decisions and climate change mitigation policymaking, exploring how firms invest in low or high carbon capital depending on their beliefs about future carbon prices. Read more

The authors of this paper examine the increasingly crucial role that China is playing in global climate action. Read more

This paper studies the impact of reduced water availability on hydroelectricity generation, a central piece in the low-carbon transition, in Europe and the United States. Read more

This paper empirically estimates the material demand requirements for so-called ‘transition-critical materials’ (TCMs) implied under two climate scenarios and finds potentially serious supply ‘bottlenecks’ for three materials – copper, lithium and nickel – which are exacerbated if the transition is delayed.

This paper explores how changes in air quality in the US have affected ethnic disparities in housing wealth, finding that air quality improvement positively affects house prices for White homeowners much more than for Black homeowners - with a ‘capitalization rate’ that is 63% higher. Read more

In this paper the authors use Credit Default Swap (CDS) spreads to construct a forward-looking, market-implied carbon risk factor and study how, where and when carbon risk affects firms’ creditworthiness by examining whether firms’ exposure to carbon risk is reflected in the market prices of their CDS contracts.

With improved understanding of the complex links between labour, health, and output, policies can be better designed to protect workers, especially vulnerable groups of workers, such as outdoor workers, and enhance economic output and economic growth. Read more

To help nature-based offsets reach their potential for climate change mitigation, this working paper proposes an alternative approach to managing the issue of market leakage. Read more
