A rapidly growing body of research applies panel methods to examine how temperature, precipitation, and windstorms influence economic outcomes. These studies focus on changes in weather realizations over time within a given spatial area and demonstrate impacts on agricultural output, industrial output, labor productivity, energy demand, health, conflict, and economic growth, among other outcomes. By harnessing exogenous variation over time within a given spatial unit, these studies help credibly identify (i) the breadth of channels linking weather and the economy, (ii) heterogeneous treatment effects across different types of locations, and (iii) nonlinear effects of weather variables. This paper reviews the new literature with two purposes. First, we summarize recent work, providing a guide to its methodologies, datasets, and findings. Second, we consider applications of the new literature, including insights for the “damage function” within models that seek to assess the potential economic effects of future climate change.

Results suggest that own-price elasticity is near unitary and income elasticity is small. Price of finfish, shopping frequency, Northeast, Black and other non-Whites, and the life-cycle variable “"young, single, no children”" are they key factors that affect significantly both the probability of participation and the level of finfish consumption. Furthermore, a variable may exert opposite effects on the probability and level of consumption.

Partindo-se da hipótese de que o desequilíbrio do rio Tocantins repercutiu de forma intensa sobre a vida das comunidades humanas locais, afetando o desempenho da atividade pesqueira, procurou-se dar resposta para a seguinte questão: qual a influência da barragem de Tucuruí, estado do Pará, sobre o desempenho da pesca artesanal desenvolvida a jusante? Os dados utilizados são de origem primária e secundária. Utilizou-se o modelo de análise fatorial exploratória (AFE), para construir o Índice de Desempenho da Pesca Artesanal (IDPA). Os resultados mostram que 21% dos pescadores têm baixo desempenho e 79%, desempenho intermediário, fato que aponta para a difícil situação enfrentada pelos trabalhadores da pesca ao longo do tempo. The objective was to analyze the influence of the Tucuruí dam in the small-scale fishery performance, developed in its downstream. Assuming that the imbalance of the Tocantins river had so intense impact over the life of local human communities, affecting their fishery activity performance, we tried to give an answer to the following question: what is the influence of the Tucuruí dam, Pará state, on the performance of small-scale fishing developed in its downstream? Data used are from primary and secondary sources. We used the model of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), in order to build the performance index of small-scale fishing (IDPA). The results show that 21% of fishermen have low performance and, 79%, mid-performance, a fact that points to the difficult situation faced by fishery workers over time.

We find that because of a declining capacity of the soil to sequester carbon, the optimal length of the carbon contract is finite (the marginal benefit of remaining in the contract is declining over time, whereas marginal opportunity cost is rising). We also explore the effect of varying key parameter values on the optimal length in the contract. If the contract requires the farmer to sequester at a higher rate, the farmer chooses the contract for a shorter length of time, and this may decrease rather than increase social welfare. If society places a higher value on carbon accumulation, the contract is chosen for a longer length of time. Finally, if both the farmer and society have a higher discount rate, the model provides a somewhat surprising result. The overall time in the contract, and benefits from carbon accumulation are higher when the common discount rate is higher. Dans le present article, nous presentons les determinants economiques de la duree optimale d'un contrat de contrepartie de la fixation du carbone. Nous avons trouve qu'en raison de la diminution de la capacite du sol a sequestrer le CO2, la duree optimale du contrat de contrepartie du carbone est limitee (l'avantage marginal de la poursuite du contrat diminue avec le temps, tandis que le cout de renonciation marginal augmente). Nous avons egalement examine les repercussions de la variation des valeurs des parametres cles sur la duree optimale du contrat. Si le contrat exige que le producteur augmente le taux de sequestration du CO2, le producteur peut choisir de diminuer la duree du contrat, ce qui peut contribuer a diminuer le bien-etre collectif plutot qu'a l'augmenter. Si la societe accorde une grande valeur a l'accumulation du carbone, la duree du contrat est plus longue. Finalement, si le producteur et la societe disposent d'un taux d'escompte eleve, le modele donne des resultats quelque peu etonnants. La duree totale du contrat et les avantages lies a l'accumulation de carbone sont plus eleves lorsque le taux d'escompte courant est eleve.

Four different scenarios regarding the rise in temperature and their consequences have been developed. Other institutes have elaborated more on these scenarios, making predictions on the effects of climate change on nature and agriculture for the Netherlands. Overall conclusions are that climate change will have dramatic consequences for nature, agriculture and Dutch society in general, being so exposed to rising sea levels. Depending on the scenario, consequences have various gradients of impacts and effects. In general, it is estimated that winters will be softer and wetter, and that summers will be hotter and drier with intermittent torrential rains that can have dire consequences for agriculture and nature. Growing seasons will start earlier and will last longer which could lead to mismatches in species interaction. Species of various kind will suffer the effects of climate change and will disappear from the Netherlands altogether, either through extinction or by moving away north. Other warmth loving species from the south of the Netherlands will move upwards towards the country leading to possible threats to indigenous species.

Women make essential contributions to agriculture in developing countries, where they constitute approximately 43 percent of the agricultural labor force. However, female farmers typically have lower output per unit of land and are much less likely to be active in commercial farming than their male counterparts. These gender differences in land productivity and participation between male and female farmers are due to gender differences in access to inputs, resources, and services. In this paper, the authors review the evidence on productivity differences and access to resources. The authors discuss some of the reasons for these differences, such as differences in property rights, education, control over resources (e.g., land), access to inputs and services (e.g., fertilizer, extension, and credit), and social norms. Although women are less active in commercial farming and are largely excluded from contract farming, they often provide the bulk of wage labor in the nontraditional export sector. In general, gender gaps do not appear to fall systematically with growth, and they appear to rise with Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and with greater access to resources and inputs. Active policies that support women’s access and participation, not just greater overall access, are essential if these gaps are to be closed. The gains in terms of greater productivity of land and overall production are likely to be large. This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 provides an overview of the differences in male and female productivity within predominantly food crops. Section 3 discusses the major elements needed for production, documents the male–female gap, and explores the existing evidence on why these gaps exist. Section 4 concludes.

A análise teórica do funcionamento dos três instrumentos da cota tarifária (seu volume e as tarifas intra e extracota) revela que, dependendo da demanda, apenas um deles efetivamente restringe as importações. Assim, a oferta de cotas adicionais não implica necessariamente um aumento equivalente na quantidade exportada. Na estimativa de ganho de receita deve ser considerada também a variação na renda da cota. Além disso, a administração da cota terá um papel crucial na alocação dessa renda. Caso seja o Mercosul a fazê-la, as estimativas indicam um aumento de US$ 728 milhões na receita de divisas, bastante próximo do valor da cota total oferecida a preços correntes, sendo US$ 252 milhões resultantes da apropriação das rendas das cotas e US$ 476 milhões do incremento nas exportações. Se o controle das cotas for realizado pela União Européia, o ganho do Brasil decorrerá exclusivamente do aumento das exportações, atingindo apenas 63,7% do valor da cota citada.This paper aims to evaluate the effects of additional tariff quotas on some Brazilian agricultural exports. The study focuses on the European offer in the negotiations for a Mercosur-European Union free trade agreement in May 2004. The economic analysis of the tariff quota shows that - given the demand curve - only one of the three components (the volume and the intra and extra tariffs rates) will effectively pose a restriction to the imports. So, the concession of an additional quota does not necessarily imply an equivalent increase in exports. In the estimation of the gains, one must consider the change in the quota rent. Besides the administration of the quota systems will play crucial role on the allocation of the quota rent. If Mercosur gets in charge, the estimates indicate an addition of US$ 728 million in exports, of which US$ 525 million result from the appropriation of the quota rents and US$ 476 million from exports. The sum of both is indeed close to the value of the additional quotas at current prices. If the administration goes to the EU, the gains will derive exclusively from the expansion in exports, which corresponds to 63.7% to the value of the quota.

We examine how variation in local economic conditions has shaped the AIDS epidemic in Africa. Using data from over 200,000 individuals across 19 countries, we match biomarker data on individuals’ serostatus to information on local rainfall shocks, a large source of income variation for rural households. We estimate infection rates in HIV-endemic rural areas increase by 11% for every recent drought, an effect that is statistically and economically significant. Income shocks explain up to 20% of variation in HIV prevalence across African countries, suggesting existing approaches to HIV prevention could be bolstered by helping households manage income risk better. The relationship between income and health has long been of interest to economists and a lengthy literature documents strong linkages between economic conditions and many important health outcomes (Currie, 2009). There has been much less progress, however, in understanding the economic foundations of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, one of the most important global health challenges. Such an understanding might yield particular dividends in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where over a million people continue to become newly infected with the disease each year (UNAIDS, 2010). In this article, we explore the role of negative income shocks in shaping the

description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article , Preprint 2014Publisher:American Economic Association Authors: Melissa Dell; Benjamin F. Jones; Benjamin A. Olken;Melissa Dell; Benjamin F. Jones; Benjamin A. Olken;doi: 10.1257/jel.52.3.740
A rapidly growing body of research applies panel methods to examine how temperature, precipitation, and windstorms influence economic outcomes. These studies focus on changes in weather realizations over time within a given spatial area and demonstrate impacts on agricultural output, industrial output, labor productivity, energy demand, health, conflict, and economic growth, among other outcomes. By harnessing exogenous variation over time within a given spatial unit, these studies help credibly identify (i) the breadth of channels linking weather and the economy, (ii) heterogeneous treatment effects across different types of locations, and (iii) nonlinear effects of weather variables. This paper reviews the new literature with two purposes. First, we summarize recent work, providing a guide to its methodologies, datasets, and findings. Second, we consider applications of the new literature, including insights for the “damage function” within models that seek to assess the potential economic effects of future climate change.

Results suggest that own-price elasticity is near unitary and income elasticity is small. Price of finfish, shopping frequency, Northeast, Black and other non-Whites, and the life-cycle variable “"young, single, no children”" are they key factors that affect significantly both the probability of participation and the level of finfish consumption. Furthermore, a variable may exert opposite effects on the probability and level of consumption.

Partindo-se da hipótese de que o desequilíbrio do rio Tocantins repercutiu de forma intensa sobre a vida das comunidades humanas locais, afetando o desempenho da atividade pesqueira, procurou-se dar resposta para a seguinte questão: qual a influência da barragem de Tucuruí, estado do Pará, sobre o desempenho da pesca artesanal desenvolvida a jusante? Os dados utilizados são de origem primária e secundária. Utilizou-se o modelo de análise fatorial exploratória (AFE), para construir o Índice de Desempenho da Pesca Artesanal (IDPA). Os resultados mostram que 21% dos pescadores têm baixo desempenho e 79%, desempenho intermediário, fato que aponta para a difícil situação enfrentada pelos trabalhadores da pesca ao longo do tempo. The objective was to analyze the influence of the Tucuruí dam in the small-scale fishery performance, developed in its downstream. Assuming that the imbalance of the Tocantins river had so intense impact over the life of local human communities, affecting their fishery activity performance, we tried to give an answer to the following question: what is the influence of the Tucuruí dam, Pará state, on the performance of small-scale fishing developed in its downstream? Data used are from primary and secondary sources. We used the model of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), in order to build the performance index of small-scale fishing (IDPA). The results show that 21% of fishermen have low performance and, 79%, mid-performance, a fact that points to the difficult situation faced by fishery workers over time.

We find that because of a declining capacity of the soil to sequester carbon, the optimal length of the carbon contract is finite (the marginal benefit of remaining in the contract is declining over time, whereas marginal opportunity cost is rising). We also explore the effect of varying key parameter values on the optimal length in the contract. If the contract requires the farmer to sequester at a higher rate, the farmer chooses the contract for a shorter length of time, and this may decrease rather than increase social welfare. If society places a higher value on carbon accumulation, the contract is chosen for a longer length of time. Finally, if both the farmer and society have a higher discount rate, the model provides a somewhat surprising result. The overall time in the contract, and benefits from carbon accumulation are higher when the common discount rate is higher. Dans le present article, nous presentons les determinants economiques de la duree optimale d'un contrat de contrepartie de la fixation du carbone. Nous avons trouve qu'en raison de la diminution de la capacite du sol a sequestrer le CO2, la duree optimale du contrat de contrepartie du carbone est limitee (l'avantage marginal de la poursuite du contrat diminue avec le temps, tandis que le cout de renonciation marginal augmente). Nous avons egalement examine les repercussions de la variation des valeurs des parametres cles sur la duree optimale du contrat. Si le contrat exige que le producteur augmente le taux de sequestration du CO2, le producteur peut choisir de diminuer la duree du contrat, ce qui peut contribuer a diminuer le bien-etre collectif plutot qu'a l'augmenter. Si la societe accorde une grande valeur a l'accumulation du carbone, la duree du contrat est plus longue. Finalement, si le producteur et la societe disposent d'un taux d'escompte eleve, le modele donne des resultats quelque peu etonnants. La duree totale du contrat et les avantages lies a l'accumulation de carbone sont plus eleves lorsque le taux d'escompte courant est eleve.

Four different scenarios regarding the rise in temperature and their consequences have been developed. Other institutes have elaborated more on these scenarios, making predictions on the effects of climate change on nature and agriculture for the Netherlands. Overall conclusions are that climate change will have dramatic consequences for nature, agriculture and Dutch society in general, being so exposed to rising sea levels. Depending on the scenario, consequences have various gradients of impacts and effects. In general, it is estimated that winters will be softer and wetter, and that summers will be hotter and drier with intermittent torrential rains that can have dire consequences for agriculture and nature. Growing seasons will start earlier and will last longer which could lead to mismatches in species interaction. Species of various kind will suffer the effects of climate change and will disappear from the Netherlands altogether, either through extinction or by moving away north. Other warmth loving species from the south of the Netherlands will move upwards towards the country leading to possible threats to indigenous species.

Women make essential contributions to agriculture in developing countries, where they constitute approximately 43 percent of the agricultural labor force. However, female farmers typically have lower output per unit of land and are much less likely to be active in commercial farming than their male counterparts. These gender differences in land productivity and participation between male and female farmers are due to gender differences in access to inputs, resources, and services. In this paper, the authors review the evidence on productivity differences and access to resources. The authors discuss some of the reasons for these differences, such as differences in property rights, education, control over resources (e.g., land), access to inputs and services (e.g., fertilizer, extension, and credit), and social norms. Although women are less active in commercial farming and are largely excluded from contract farming, they often provide the bulk of wage labor in the nontraditional export sector. In general, gender gaps do not appear to fall systematically with growth, and they appear to rise with Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and with greater access to resources and inputs. Active policies that support women’s access and participation, not just greater overall access, are essential if these gaps are to be closed. The gains in terms of greater productivity of land and overall production are likely to be large. This paper is organized as follows. Section 2 provides an overview of the differences in male and female productivity within predominantly food crops. Section 3 discusses the major elements needed for production, documents the male–female gap, and explores the existing evidence on why these gaps exist. Section 4 concludes.

A análise teórica do funcionamento dos três instrumentos da cota tarifária (seu volume e as tarifas intra e extracota) revela que, dependendo da demanda, apenas um deles efetivamente restringe as importações. Assim, a oferta de cotas adicionais não implica necessariamente um aumento equivalente na quantidade exportada. Na estimativa de ganho de receita deve ser considerada também a variação na renda da cota. Além disso, a administração da cota terá um papel crucial na alocação dessa renda. Caso seja o Mercosul a fazê-la, as estimativas indicam um aumento de US$ 728 milhões na receita de divisas, bastante próximo do valor da cota total oferecida a preços correntes, sendo US$ 252 milhões resultantes da apropriação das rendas das cotas e US$ 476 milhões do incremento nas exportações. Se o controle das cotas for realizado pela União Européia, o ganho do Brasil decorrerá exclusivamente do aumento das exportações, atingindo apenas 63,7% do valor da cota citada.This paper aims to evaluate the effects of additional tariff quotas on some Brazilian agricultural exports. The study focuses on the European offer in the negotiations for a Mercosur-European Union free trade agreement in May 2004. The economic analysis of the tariff quota shows that - given the demand curve - only one of the three components (the volume and the intra and extra tariffs rates) will effectively pose a restriction to the imports. So, the concession of an additional quota does not necessarily imply an equivalent increase in exports. In the estimation of the gains, one must consider the change in the quota rent. Besides the administration of the quota systems will play crucial role on the allocation of the quota rent. If Mercosur gets in charge, the estimates indicate an addition of US$ 728 million in exports, of which US$ 525 million result from the appropriation of the quota rents and US$ 476 million from exports. The sum of both is indeed close to the value of the additional quotas at current prices. If the administration goes to the EU, the gains will derive exclusively from the expansion in exports, which corresponds to 63.7% to the value of the quota.

We examine how variation in local economic conditions has shaped the AIDS epidemic in Africa. Using data from over 200,000 individuals across 19 countries, we match biomarker data on individuals’ serostatus to information on local rainfall shocks, a large source of income variation for rural households. We estimate infection rates in HIV-endemic rural areas increase by 11% for every recent drought, an effect that is statistically and economically significant. Income shocks explain up to 20% of variation in HIV prevalence across African countries, suggesting existing approaches to HIV prevention could be bolstered by helping households manage income risk better. The relationship between income and health has long been of interest to economists and a lengthy literature documents strong linkages between economic conditions and many important health outcomes (Currie, 2009). There has been much less progress, however, in understanding the economic foundations of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, one of the most important global health challenges. Such an understanding might yield particular dividends in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where over a million people continue to become newly infected with the disease each year (UNAIDS, 2010). In this article, we explore the role of negative income shocks in shaping the
