In practice, it is a choice by farmers that is sensitive to climate. This paper develops a choice model of irrigation in the context of a Ricardian model of cropland. We first examine how climate affects the decision to employ irrigation and then how climate affects the net revenues of dryland and irrigated land. This Ricardian ‘selection’ model, using a modified Heckman model, is then estimated across 8400 farmers in Africa. We explicitly model irrigation, but we control for the endogeneity of irrigation that plagues a recently suggested remedy. We find that the choice of irrigation is sensitive to both temperature and precipitation. Simulating the welfare impacts of several climate scenarios, we demonstrate that a model which assumes irrigation is exogenous provides a biased estimate of the welfare effects of climate change. If dryland and irrigation are to be estimated separately in the Ricardian model, irrigation must be modeled endogenously. The results also indicate that African agriculture is sensitive to climate change. Many farmers in Africa will experience net revenue losses from warming.

[18] Although the BASIX data set does not offer the opportunity to test the direct effects of a cash payment separately from an insurance payout, there are a number of reasons why it is unlikely that wealth or liquidity effects are driving the results. Most important, insurance payouts are given in the context of a rainfall shock, which would most likely result in a loss of income. It may help to recall that the empirical results are being driven by variation in rainfall across locations, not by levels of insurance within a village. Therefore, for wealth effects to be driving the results, one would need to think that experiencing an insurance payout in the context of a rainfall shock resulted in people becoming wealthier than those people who didn’t experience a shock at all. Given the fact that most buyers bought a relatively low amount of insurance coverage relative to their incomes, experiencing a rainfall shock, even when insured, would likely decrease future wealth. Therefore, wealth effects seem like a poor explanation as to why receiving payouts spurs future insurance sales.

One might think that this type of bias would have spillover effects (which I do not observe), but may also be present at the individual level if people believe recent insurance payouts are a sign of individual luck. Another explanation could be that insurance purchasers behave as if they are “gambling with house money,” as in Thaler and Johnson (1990). If customers exhibit loss aversion, they may not view insurance premiums paid after receiving payouts as true losses, since they are still “in the red” in their relationship with the insurance company.

Despite the potential of risk-sensitive land-use planning, resettlement is the major ex-ante hazard adaptation mechanism employed in Vietnam currently, especially in the Mekong Delta. While such policies can reduce exposure, policy design is critical to ensure the livelihoods of the poor are supported. For instance, surveys in Tan Chau district suggests the resettlement policy enacted in 2002 may have made households worse-off: inadequate financing resulted in households paying for their new settlements out-of-pocket; many households who were farmers and fishers did not have adequate land, transportation and market access, and inadequate livelihood support was provided to them (World Bank 2016). Where resettlement policies are enacted, it is imperative that such policies are paired with livelihood and financing support.

As mentioned earlier, the dependent variable in this regression was generated by manually matching customers from one year to another, and therefore it is likely measured with some error. Although there is no reason to believe that this measurement error is correlated with any independent variables in the regression, since the dependent variable in the regression is a dummy variable, this can lead to downward bias on the estimated coefficients. In order to get a feel for the potential magnitude of this error, I run simulations where I assume that the BASIX data has been matched completely correctly and then induce “measurement error” by randomly changing the dependent variable of whether people purchased the following year or not.

The majority of flood exposed people, about 1.36 billion, are located in South and East Asia; China (329 million) and India (225 million) account for over a third of global exposure. Of the 1.47 billion people who are exposed to flood risk, 89 percent live in low- and middle-income countries. Of the 132 million people who are estimated to live in both extreme poverty (under $1.9 per day) and in high flood risk areas, 55 per cent are in Sub-Saharan Africa. About 587 million people face high flood risk, while living on less than $5.5 per day.

Therefore, it may be possible that there are effects of trust and learning, but they are outweighed by opposite effects of the weather. As shown in the previous section, rainfall shocks tend to have a negative effect on insurance demand, so the (lack of) evidence of spillovers may be a result of a more complex interaction between trust/learning and direct effects of weather. Overall, these results do not support the hypothesis that trust, learning, or any other effects of simply witnessing insurance payouts are driving increased purchasing. Although it is possible that the measurements of spillovers are too crude and miss more subtle effects, the data simply does not provide evidence that there are strong spillover effects.

It was difficult to collect land values in this setting. We consequently relied on measures of net revenue per hectare. Net revenue is defined as gross revenue minus the cost of transport, packaging and marketing, storage, post-harvest losses, hired labor (valued at the median market wage rate), light farm tools (such as files, axes, machetes, etc.), rental on heavy machinery (tractors, ploughs, threshers and others), fertilizer and pesticide. Median district prices from the survey were used for both input and crop prices. Household labor costs are not included as a cost in net revenues because it was not clear what value to assign to wages. We controlled for household labor by using household size as a proxy.

Summary and Conclusions** In this paper, we have constructed a spatial panel database of cyclone tracks and coastal landfalls in Bangladesh, West Bengal and Odisha. For 1960-2016, our tracking data come from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) for cyclones with Bangladesh landfalls and the India Meteorological Department (IMD) for cyclones with landfalls in West Bengal and Odisha. For storms before 1960, our data come from country reports in the global IBTrACS database maintained by the Global Data Center for Meteorology of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. We determine each storm’s landfall as its first intersection with an ordered line of coastline points, spaced at .001 decimal degrees (approximately 100 meters). We identify each cyclone’s primary coastal impact zone as the set of coastline points lying within the cyclone’s radial distance from its landfall point to its zone of maximum wind speed. Although we confine our exercise to Bangladesh and the two Indian coastal states, our methods are general and could be expanded to an arbitrarily-large set of coastal locations. We use the database for an analysis of cyclone strike locations and impact zones in seven historical periods: 1877-1900, 1901-1920, 1921-1940, 1941-1960, 1961-1980, 1981-2000 and 2001-2016.

However, there is little rigorous evidence on the effects of property rights for increasing agricultural productivity and contributing toward poverty reduction in Africa. Whether and by how much overlapping property rights reduce investment incentives, and the scope for policies to counter such disincentives, are thus important policy issues. Using information on parcels under ownership and usufruct by the same household from a nationally representative survey in Uganda, the authors find significant disincentives associated with overlapping property rights on short and long-term investments.

Using data on three years of insurance purchasers from the Indian microfinance institution BASIX, I find that customers who received an insurance payout are 9 to 22 percent more likely to repurchase in the following year than customers who did not receive any insurance payments. I show that this effect cannot be accounted for by neo-classical explanations, such as wealth effects, changing expectations about weather, or trust in the insurance company. Instead, I argue that it is caused by the behavioral effects of receiving an insurance payout.

There are a number of theories that could explain this behavior. First, recent experiences with rainfall could change subjects’ beliefs about the probability of a rainfall shock the following year (this is proposed as “recency bias”in Karlan et al. [2014]). If there is actual autocorrelation of rainfall events or if the subject has limited knowledge about the effects of rainfall shocks, people may update their beliefs about shocks and therefore have more desire for insurance the following year. Alternatively, recently experiencing a rainfall shock could make shocks more salient, increasing the chance they will buy insurance the following year. Also, rainfall shocks may affect the wealth of the farmers.

Farmers select irrigation rather than dryland to maximize profits. As temperatures warm or precipitation declines, farmers turn to irrigation to keep their farms viable. As long as there is a sufficient flow of water, irrigation is an important adaptation strategy. We then used this empirical model to examine the welfare impacts of climate change on African agriculture. Using a mild and a severe climate scenario, we examined how irrigation and net revenues will be affected. We compared the results of our model with endogenous irrigation with a model that assumes irrigation is exogenous. We found evidence of selection bias but, more importantly, we found that treating irrigation as though it is exogenous leads to biased welfare estimates. The paper concludes by summarizing the results and discussing some policy implications. 4", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}}} {"input": "**REFERENCES** Basist A et al., 2001.

Poor people also have a lower capacity to cope with and adapt to shocks due to lower access to savings, borrowing, or social protection; and climate change is likely to worsen these trends (Hallegatte et al. 2016, Chapter 5). Therefore, it is important to quantify how many people are exposed to floods, how this distribution of exposure falls upon regions and socioeconomic groups, and how climate change may influence these trends. In the spirit of a Bstress-test^ to examine the seriousness of the issue, this paper employs flood hazard maps and spatial socioeconomic data to examine the following questions in context of Vietnam: 1.

It is hoped that the estimates of wetlands at risk from SLR reported in this paper would offer insights into the extent to which countries may be willing to invest to protect coastal wetlands or facilitate their migration as sea level rises. At the outset, we acknowledge several important limitations of our analysis. First, we have not assessed the time profile of 1 m SLR.

[1] At the same time, and despite numerous measures to the contrary, rural-urban income inequality widened. While clear causality is difficult to establish, most experts agree that high rates of land conversion make a key contribution to this and, in addition, give rise to factor market distortions and often inefficient and unsustainable land use. This can largely be attributed to structural factors, most importantly the fact that, as rural land is owned by village collectives and not tradable, conversion of land from agricultural to non-agricultural", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}}} {"input": "696 Stein Resolved Observational Data Integration Towards Evaluation of Water Resources.

Second, to understand the distributional\n\neffects of mining we argue that migration status may be an important factor.\n\nIn the analysis, we distinguish between nonmigrants (where the woman respondent report being\n\nborn in the locality) and migrants (born elsewhere). We note several caveats with this analysis,\n\nthe first being that we cannot follow migrant households before the migration decision.\n\nTherefore, we cannot make any causal claims on changes in this group over time.

The Republic of Moldova followed this model and also introduced Temporary Protection for Ukrainian refugees.\n\nIn 2024, to assess the health and mental health situation of Ukrainian refugees, their access to services, and the barriers they face across countries, Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRP) health and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) partners conducted a regional analysis of the Socio-Economic Insights Survey (SEIS) data from 10 refugee-hosting countries: Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Republic of Moldova, Romania, and Slovakia.

Even if that was the case, GDP per person (though not GDP per worker) would still rise because immigrants are typically younger than the native population, which improves the general worker to population ratio. However, an inflow of immigrants can be more than just an increase in labour supply, e.g., immigrants bring new skills to the workforce, extending the scope of specialisation and thus making workers more productive. In fact, economic research from the past decade has found, that immigration improves not just GDP or GDP per person (Ortega and Peri, 2014), but has a causal positive impact for labour productivity (Jaumotte et al., 2016), GDP per capita growth rate (Aleksynska and Tritah, 2015), and total factor productivity (Peri, 2012).", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}}} {"input": "68.8% 2024-Q2 2021-Q2 67.5% 2022-Q2 40.3 40.3 40.4 40.4 Source: Deloitte own elaboration based of Eurostat data (Labour Force Survey).\n\nSource: Deloitte own elaboration based of Eurostat data (Labour Force Survey).\n\nPart-time Full-time 31 Deloitte has not received data that would be detailed as to citizenship, poviat, sex, age group, occupational group, and ZUS insurance code that would be suitable for econometric approach.\n\n42", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [{"text": "Labour Force Survey"}, {"text": "Eurostat data"}], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}}} {"input": "consistent with previous, similar studies.\nHowever, they should be treated as lowerbound estimates, as we do not allow for the possibility of an increase in the labour force triggering a positive productivity shock (e.g., due to increased specialisation), because there is little data to credibly estimate its size.\n\nA feature of our modelling approach is that the resulting GDP gains are reduced due to increased competition on the labour market.

Sohst et al. (2024) found that short-term return intentions were higher in countries offering strong public services and with healthier economies (lower poverty and higher GDP). In short, when people aren’t just surviving but have some breathing room, they’re better positioned to think about going back.\nOn the other hand, host country labour market integration decreases the chances that refugees will be returning to their country of origin. Personal circumstances clearly play a major role. Refugees who are formally employed in their host countries are 12 percentage points less likely to plan a return in the near future than those who aren’t (Sohst et al., 2024). Furthermore, Lewandowski et al. (2025) find that refugees who underwent greater task degradation were more likely to plan to return to Ukraine by 2023, particularly those who initially, in 2022, did not plan to return. So, while public services seem to increase the likelihood of return, employment has the opposite effect, it gives people a reason to stay. Families with children or elderly dependents are also more hesitant, which makes sense given the ongoing uncertainty in Ukraine and school continuity in host country. Refugees with disabilities are even less likely to return, often because of healthcare needs or limited support options.

While these added to a significant initial increase in consumption, multiple sources of financing and a lack of aggregated data (particularly on general government expenses) make its magnitude uncertain. Although in the short term it stimulated the economy, drawing just on savings was not sustainable. Over time, however, refugees started to work as employees and entrepreneurs, adding not only to the demand, but also to the supply of the economy, contributing to its long-term growth. The focus of this report is this structural impact of refugees on the economy as consumers, employers, entrepreneurs, and taxpayers.\n\nThe beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine resulted in a large inflow of refugees into Poland outlined in Chapter 1.\nThis cohort differs from the pre-2022 Ukrainian economic migrants, most notably in its demographic makeup which primarily comprises children and working age women.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}}} {"input": "HIGH EMPLOYMENT RATES, BUT LOW WAGES: A POVERTY ASSESSMENT OF UKRAINIAN REFUGEES IN NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES\n\n**SHARE OF POPULATION PAYING FOR RENTED HOUSING: HOSTS VS REFUGEES**\n\nShare of hosts living in rented housing (2023) Share of refugees fully paying for rent (2024) Share of refugees partially paying for rent (2024) 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Bulgaria Czechia Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Moldova Poland Romania Slovakia Region Source: Eurostat, survey data, SAG estimates\n\n**HOUSING COST AS A SHARE OF HOUSEHOLD DISPOSABLE INCOME**\n\nRefugees (2024) Hosts (2022) Bulgaria Czechia Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Moldova Poland Romania Slovakia Region Source: Eurostat, survey data, SAG estimates\n\n**REFUGEE POVERTY RATES WITH AND WITHOUT CORRECTION FOR EXCESSIVE HOUSING COSTS**\n\nRefugees (2024) Refugees with housing expense correction (2024) Hosts (2023) 65% 40% 52% 31% 46% 43% 37% Bulgaria Czechia Hungary Moldova Poland Romania Slovakia Estonia Latvia Lithuania Region Source: Eurostat, survey data, SAG estimates\n\n**6**", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [{"text": "Eurostat, survey data"}], "vague_data": []}}} {"input": "Skills-job mismatching also becomes evident when analyzing the current employment of refugees compared to their pre-war employment in Ukraine, as nearly 60% have transitioned to entirely different economic sectors.\nThis phenomenon is more pronounced among women, with 63% having shifted to roles outside their previous employment background, compared to 50% of men.

This apparent disparity is largely driven by the sizeable financial support that Ukrainians received from humanitarian organizations in 2024, which amounted to 44% of their total household income. While the above comparison could suggest that the provided aid is excessive, such an interpretation overlooks an important factor – namely that only 5% of Moldovans incur rental expenses compare to 41% of refugees. In fact, including utilities, housing costs were estimated to consume 46% of refugees’ disposable income (inclusive of humanitarian aid), whereas they account for just 14% for Moldovan households.

While in the past decade Poland experienced large labour migration from Ukraine, the refugee inflow had a different demographic composition.\nIt primarily included working age women (41%) and children (40%).

Despite these difficulties, refugees began entering the labour market surprisingly quickly – attaining an employment rate of 28% in May 2022 and 65% in November 2022 (NBP, 2023).

Unfortunately, panel fixed effects regressions with quarterly dummies showed statistically insignificant results for either instruments or both. In addition, regressions using only the instrumental variable for the distribution of pre-war Ukrainian citizens reveal only a modest link to the employment share of Ukrainian refugees.", "output": {"entities": {"named_data": [], "descriptive_data": [], "vague_data": []}}}
