Economic impact of floods in the Indian states
Environment and Development Economics - Tập 25 Số 3 - Trang 267-290 - 2020
Yashobanta Parida
AbstractWe examine the impact of economic development and the role of political alignment on the fatalities and damages due to floods using state-level panel data for 19 Indian states over the period 1980–2011. The empirical results confirm that economic development leads to a decline in flood fatalities and damages due to floods across Indian states. This study also examines the role of politics ... hiện toàn bộ
Do social protection programs foster short-term and long-term migration adaptation strategies?
Environment and Development Economics - Tập 25 Số 2 - Trang 135-158 - 2020
Valerie Mueller, Clark Gray, Sudhanshu Handa, David Seidenfeld
AbstractWe examine how migration is influenced by temperature and precipitation variability, and the extent to which the receipt of a cash transfer affects the use of migration as an adaptation strategy. Climate data is merged with georeferenced panel data (2010–2014) on individual migration collected from the Zambian Child Grant Program (CGP) sites. We use the person-year dataset to identify the ... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluating projects that are potentially eligible for Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) funding in the South African context: a case study to establish weighting values for sustainable development criteria
Environment and Development Economics - Tập 10 Số 5 - Trang 631-649 - 2005
Alan C. Brent, Renat Heuberger, Dumisani Manzini
Development projects that are potentially eligible for Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) funding under the Kyoto Protocol, require final approval from the host countries where the projects are to be implemented. The approval requires an evaluation of the positive contribution of the CDM project to sustainable development in the host country. A prototype set of sustainable development criteria is i... hiện toàn bộ

Designing integrated conservation and development projects (ICDPs): illegal hunting, wildlife conservation, and the welfare of the local people
Environment and Development Economics - Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 247-267 - 2006
Anne Borge Johannesen
This paper develops a bio-economic model to explore the effect on illegal hunting, wildlife conservation, and human welfare of the most common instruments of two different designs of Integrated Conservation and Development Projects (ICDPs) currently in existence. First, it is demonstrated that the distribution of game meat and money transfers to the local people fails if not explicitly linked to t... hiện toàn bộ
Governance, economic policy, and the environmental Kuznets curve for natural tropical forests
Environment and Development Economics - Tập 9 Số 3 - Trang 367-382 - 2004
Madhusudan Bhattarai, Michael D. Hammig
This paper reports the results of an empirical analysis of the relationship between income and the rate of deforestation of tropical natural forests. The inverted U-shaped relationship known as the environmental Kuznets curve is confirmed. The study focuses on the role of institutions and macroeconomic policy in the deforestation process. Results indicate that the quality of governance is an impor... hiện toàn bộ
Opportunity costs of conservation in a biodiversity hotspot: the case of southern Bahia

Greening China's rural energy: new insights on the potential of smallholder biogas
Environment and Development Economics - Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 8-29 - 2014
Luc Christiaensen, Rasmus Heltberg
AbstractThis study assesses a new generation of smallholder biogas, an applied sustainable energy technology currently being rolled out on a massive scale in rural China. In the past, the implementation of biogas programs has been largely disappointing, in China (and elsewhere). User satisfaction with the new program is high, based on purposively collected data from 2,700 households in five provin... hiện toàn bộ
Protecting China's children: valuing the health impacts of reduced air pollution in Chinese cities
Environment and Development Economics - Tập 10 Số 6 - Trang 745-768 - 2005
Robert W. Mead, Victor Brajer
As China advances its overall program of economic development, many Chinese cities consistently suffer from unhealthy levels of air pollution. One of the groups most affected is children. This paper provides some quantification regarding the extent of various morbidity costs upon children in portions of urban China. Using China-based health-effects and valuation studies, the authors project, and v... hiện toàn bộ
Open access in a spatially delineated artisanal fishery: the case of Minahasa, Indonesia
Environment and Development Economics - Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 123-143 - 2007
Christopher Liese, Martin D. Smith, Randall A. Kramer
The effects of economic development on the exploitation of renewable resources are investigated in settings where property rights are ill defined or not enforced. This paper explores potential conservation implications from labor and product market developments, such as enhanced transportation infrastructure. A model is developed that predicts individual fish catch per unit effort based on charact... hiện toàn bộ
