SUMMARY:A lab in the (track and) field? The effect of air pollution on physical performance: Evidence from sports competitions
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n“A lab in the (track and) field? The effect of air pollution on physical performance: Evidence from sports competitions”A large share of the world’s population is employed in manual labor. This paper estimates the effect of air pollution on purely physical tasks analyzing half a million amateur track and field competition results. In contrast to previous studies\, the setting allows excluding productivity effects through the cognitive channel. Exploiting the panel nature of the data and high dimensional fixed effects\, I find that a 10 µg/m3 increase in PM 2.5 reduces performance by 1.1% of a standard deviation. The effect grows with the duration of effort\, indicating that occupations requiring low-intensity and sustained effort may be more affected by air pollution than occupations requiring occasional short but intense bursts of energy. \nFrancesco Granella

SUMMARY:Net Zero Emission Pathways Reduce the Physical and Economic Risks of Change
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nMitigation pathways exploring end-of-century temperature targets entail varying degrees of temperature overshoot. The intertemporal consequences of overshoot have been typically evaluated from the point of view of mitigation. \nHere\, we provide the first assessment of the benefits of limiting overshoot via an ensemble of integrated assessment models. We compute physical and macroeconomic probabilistic indicators of temperature overshoot pathways for different warming targets. Temperature overshooting affects the full distribution of many critical physical impacts\, such as those associated with heat extremes.\nWe show that limiting overshoot reduces risk in the right tail of the distribution\, in particular for low-temperature targets such as 1.5C. Overshooting leads to lower short-term mitigation costs. However\, our analysis allows us to fully appreciate the significant economic gains arising after 2050 from avoided impacts and reduced mitigation efforts resulting from early investments. The analysis highlights the need to integrate climate benefits in mitigation pathways and to account for fat-tailed distributions. \nDr. Laurent Drouet\, Dr. Ken Oshiro\, Prof. Valentina Bosetti\, Dr. Keywan Riahi\, Prof. Detlef van Vuuren\, Prof. Massimo Tavoni\, Dr. Christoph Bertram\, Johannes Emmerling\, Dr. Lara Aleluia Reis\, Dr. Franziska Piontek\, Dr. Mathijs Harmsen

SUMMARY:Enabling Fairness for Energy Workers and Communities in Transition
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe report is the culmination of a series of papers prepared by Resources for the Future (RFF)\, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF)\, and other partners that examine policies and programs to promote fairness for workers and communities in a transition to a low–greenhouse gas emissions economy\, often referred to as a just transition. The series looks at existing public policies and programs\, grouped thematically as “tools in the toolbox” for policymakers seeking effective strategies to address challenges associated with transition. We focus on policies and programs that can support workers and communities in regions where coal\, oil\, or natural gas production or consumption has been a leading employer and driver of prosperity. Other reports in the series present illustrative cases in the United States and describe policy innovation abroad. \nSpeakers\nDaniel Raimi\, Resources for the Future (RFF)\nWesley Look\, Resources for the Future (RFF) \nModerator: Marion Dumas\, The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

SUMMARY:Pandemic stimulus spending and the fight against climate change
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nCEPR/EAERE Webinar on Climate Policy: Pandemic stimulus spending and the fight against climate changean online webinar of the CEPR Research and Policy Network on Climate Change.\nClimate change is a long-term threat to human societies with expected huge impacts on health\, economies and welfare. Somehow similar to a pandemic\, but with more persistent and irreversible consequences. Even more than the fight against Covid-19\, climate change control is a difficult and complex task\, which requires well-designed policies and important financial resources. The post-pandemic recovery is an important opportunity if policies to address the current pandemic are and will be designed to achieve stronger\, sustainable\, and low carbon economic growth. The Covid-19 pandemic has indeed triggered the deepest global economic contraction since World War II. While most economies are expected to rebound in 2021-2022\, the impact of the pandemic on many aspects of economy and emission drivers may last far longer. Therefore\, a strong alignment of Covid-19 recovery packages with climate targets has the potential to address two important objectives: economic recovery and decarbonisation. This webinar will analyse these issues starting from lessons from past pandemics and then focusing on the implications of recovery plans for the fight against climate change. \nThursday\, 10 June 2021\n17:00 – 17: 05 – Introduction by Carlo Carraro (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and CEPR)\n17:05 – 17: 30 – In and Out of Pandemics: Sustainability Lessons from the Recent Past Massimo Tavoni (European Institute on Environmental Economics)\n17:30 – 17:55 – Pandemic Stimulus Spending. A Glimpse into the (Green and Digital) Future Ioana Petrescu (Harvard Kennedy School)\n17:55 – 18:15 – Moderated Discussion by Andrea Tilche (NTNU in Trondheim) and Danielle Arostegui (Environmental Defense Fund)\n18:15 – 18:30 – Moderated Q&A \n25 minutes per paper followed by a 20-minute moderated discussion and a 15-minute moderated Q&A session\nRegister here\nDetailed programme here

SUMMARY:Critical reflection of Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) scenarios
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIntegrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have emerged as key tools for building and assessing long term climate mitigation scenarios. Due to their central role in the recent IPCC assessments\, and international climate policy analyses more generally\, and the high uncertainties related to future projections\, IAMs have been critically assessed by scholars from different fields receiving various critiques ranging from the adequacy of their methods to how their results are used and communicated. Although IAMs are conceptually diverse and evolved in very different directions\, they tend to be criticized under the umbrella of “IAMs”. In this paper\, authors first briefly summarise the IAM landscape and how models differ from each other. They then proceed to discuss six prominent critiques emerging from the recent literature\, reflect and respond to them in the light of IAM diversity and ongoing work and suggest ways forward. The six critiques relate to (1) representation of heterogeneous actors in the models\, (2) modelling of technology diffusion and dynamics\, (3) representation of capital markets\, (4) energy-economy feedbacks\, (5) policy scenarios\, and (6) interpretation and use of model results. \nPaper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/abe5d8/meta. \nSpeaker\nIsabela Butnar\, UCL Energy Institute\, UCL\, UK \nModerator: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy \nCo-authors panel:\nRepresentation of heterogeneity: Oreane Edelenbosch\, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency\, Netherlands Technology diffusion and dynamics: Isabela Butnar\, UCL Energy Institute\, UCL\, UK\nCapital markets/finance: Panagiotis Fragkos\, E3-Modelling\, Greece\nEconomy/feedbacks energy – economy: Julien Lefèvre\, CIRED\, AgroParisTech\, Université de Paris-Saclay\, France\nPolicy instruments: Roberto Schaeffer\, COPPE\, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil\nUse and interpretation of the model results: Will McDowall\, UCL Energy Institute\, UCL\, UK \n

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series on “Building codes and community resilience to natural disasters” by Patrick Baylis
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nNatural disaster losses can be mitigated through investments in structure hardening. When property owners do not correctly perceive risks or there are spatial externalities\, it may be beneficial to mandate such investments through building codes. We provide the first comprehensive evaluation of the effect of California’s wildfire building codes on structure survival. We combine administrative damage data from several states\, representing almost all U.S. homes destroyed by wildfire since 2007. We merge this damage data to the universe of assessor data for destroyed and surviving homes inside wildfire perimeters. There are remarkable vintage effects in resilience for California homes built after 1995. Using differences in code requirements across jurisdictions\, we show that these vintage effects are due to state and local building code changes prompted by the deadly 1991 Oakland Firestorm. Moreover\, we find that these improvements increase the survival probability of neighboring homes due to reduced structure-to-structure spread. Our results imply that property losses during recent wildfire seasons would have been several billion dollars smaller if all older homes had been built to current standards.

SUMMARY:Energy Use for Adaptation: State-of-the-art and advancements in Integrated Assessment Modelling
DESCRIPTION:Background\n\n\n\nENERGYA First Scientific Workshop May 3-4\, 2021\nSpace cooling needs will be an increasingly important driver of future energy demand\, but most energy and climate policy scenarios do explicitly represent how the demand for this energy service will respond to climate change. As a consequence\, we have a limited knowledge regarding the potential implications growing space cooling could have on the environment\, the economy as represented by different sectors and different groups of households\, especially in the context of a deeper and accelerating energy transition. \nThis workshop seeks to identify knowledge gaps and delineate directions for further research within a field of research that lies at the intersection between applied and empirical economics and economic modelling or Integrated Assessment Modelling (IAM). \nThe workshop will be articulated in three virtual sessions distributed over two days. In each session\, two short presentations from the ENERGYA team will kick-off the discussion. The discussion will focus on approaches and data requirements for representing cooling and heating needs and dynamics in energy- environment-economic models. Our main hypothesis is that climate change impacts can significantly alter the understanding of the mitigation challenge\, but we still do not know precisely how. \nResearch questions:\n\nHow energy-environment-economic models incorporate decisions regarding the adoption and use of cooling appliances?\nHow can we improve the empirical evidence on the joint decision of adopting and using AC?\nTo what extent the massive use of AC that is projected by several studies could hinder progress towards the reduction of GHG emissions? To what extent the massive use of AC that is projected byseveral studies could create a new type of energy poor?\nHow can we model collective strategies (e.g. urban planning) related thermal comfort decisions?\n\nRead and download the AGENDA\n\nFormat\nEach session will be kicked off by two short presentations by the ENERGYA team that will be challenged by discussants who can present a few slides and start a discussion on some of the issues illustrated within each session. Presentations should introduce the main idea\, explain the methodology and illustrate results and remaining gaps in about 15 minutes. \n\n\n\n\nHOW TO PARTICIPATE\n \nThe Workshop will be broadcasted via Zoom.\nIf you want to attend the Workshop\, please send an email to venice@cmcc.it \n\nORGANIZED BY:\n \nUniversità Ca’Foscari Venezia \nFondazione CMCC – Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici \nVERA – Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies \n\n\n\nThis project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 756194. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Peter Christensen
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe Demand for Mobility: Evidence from an Experiment with Uber Riders \nChanges in transport costs can affect mobility in ways that differ across the population\, affecting the impacts of transport policies. We randomly assign large price discounts on Uber in Egypt over a 3-month period and collect comprehensive data on participant mobility using Google Timeline. A 50% price discount quadruples Uber usage and induces a 42% increase in total travel. Effects and welfare gains are larger for women\, who are less mobile at baseline and perceive public transit as unsafe. The price elasticity of private vehicle kilometers traveled (-1.28) implies that mobility and external costs increase substantially when ride-hailing prices fall.

SUMMARY:STEAM+ Venice Local Workshop 1
DESCRIPTION:Aim of the workshop – Background and context\nThe STEAM+ project aims to provide educational policy makers with instruments to prepare new generations for handling the challenges of our time. Europe faces grand challenges which have a STEM subject at their core\, but need knowledge from All other subjects (the extra A) to create STEAM solutions. The STEAM+ project uses transdisciplinary talent programs such as the Collegio Internazionale Ca’ Foscari as laboratories of innovation in higher education (HE). The project planned to run three STEAM+ Innovation Labs where students and teachers from 9 countries co-create solutions for grand challenges. The experience from the Labs and a subsequent series of workshops and policy meetings are meant to be used to create two main products: \nAn instrument on how to establish transdisciplinary talent programs in HE: The STEAM+ Innovation Lab Implementation Path;\nAn instrument for policy makers at HE\, local\, regional\, national and EU levels to support and recognize (or develop) such programs: the STEAM+ Menu for Policy Inspiration. \nThe Collegio Internazionale Ca’ Foscari is responsible for the first STEAM+ Innovation Lab\, which is scheduled for next July 18-23\, 2021 and is limited to the 9 main partners. In line with the aim and the main goals of the STEAM+ project\, this Lab will elaborate on four keywords: transdisciplinarity\, co-creation\, citizen science and marine conservation.\nSpecifically\, the Lab aims at fostering socio-ecological literacy\, contributing to co-creation of knowledge for marine conservation\, and nurturing (citizen scientific) commitment for environmental stewardship. It will focus on marine conservation\, in light of the challenges that the (unique in the world) city of Venice is facing. Finally\, in the perspective of Citizen Science\, the methodological assumption of the Lab is that diversity is a plus!\nIndeed\, the lab will be based on a transdisciplinary and methodologically diverse approach\, also enriched by the cultural heterogeneity of the participants. \nVenice Local Workshop 1 aims at promoting a fruitful discussion with CMCC\, STEAM+ policy partner\, on the methodological approach of the STEAM+ project\, as well as on the organization and core concepts of the Venetian Innovation Lab. Specifically\, we plan to have three short presentations – two focusing on two keywords\, co-creation and citizen science\, and one on the structure of the Lab – followed by an open-discussion session in which\, in addition to collecting suggestions on the Innovation Lab\, could turn around the following possible questions: \n\nWhat keeps Higher Education Institutions –HEI – from changing and introducing more transdisciplinary education\, and what leverage can policy offer\nWhat kind of programs/initiatives are already in place?\nWhich opportunities do you see in your country/institute?\nWhich challenges do you see?\nHow can we together promote such programs\, especially Talent programs? Suggestions for a line of action.\n\nHosted by Collegio Internazionale Ca’ Foscari\, Italy\nKeynote speakers\nAnne Snick (KU Leuven\, Belgium)\nLuca Corazzini (Ca’Foscari University of Venice\, Italy)\nDaniele Brombal (Ca’Foscari University of Venice\, Italy)\nAttendees: CMCC – College STEAM Policy Partner\nInternational College Ca’ Foscari Students and Studies Committee \nAGENDA\nTuesday\, 27th of April\n16.00: Welcome by Luca Corazzini\n16.05: Anne Snick (KU Leuven\, Belgium) – Co-creation and transdisciplinarity: scientific methodologies for the 21st Century\n16.40: Daniele Brombal (Ca’Foscari University of Venice\, Italy) – Citizen Science and Institutional Change\n17.00: (virtual) Coffee break\n17.15: Luca Corazzini (Ca’Foscari University of Venice\, Italy)– Citizen Science for Marine Conservation (Lab#1\, STEAM+)\n17.40: Open discussion\n18:45: Conclusion of the workshop and farewell \nMore info about the Event (PDF file) \nHOW TO PARTICIPATE\nThe workshop is open to CMCC researchers.\nIf you want to attend the Workshop\, please send an email to venice@cmcc.it \nORGANIZED BY:

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series- Meng Kyle
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWhat induces clean energy transitions? When transitional dynamics exhibit strong path dependence\, a temporary shock to input composition can trigger permanent structural change. I examine whether such dynamics characterize the U.S. electricity sector’s use of coal – the most climate-damaging fuel – across the 20th century. Exploiting local coal supply shocks driven by changing regional accessibility of subsurface coal\, I find increasing imbalance in the coal composition of electricity capital lasting ten decades following a shock. A structural change model enables recovery of a key substitution parameter from reduced-form estimates and explores conditions for triggering sustained future clean energy transitions. \nEstimating Path Dependence in Energy Transitions\nSpeaker: Kyle Meng\, UC Santa Barbara

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC Webinar on “Assessing the Costs and Benefits of Decommissioning US Oil and Gas Wells”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThere are hundreds of thousands of “orphaned” oil and gas wells in the US that have no solvent owner\, emit methane that contributes to global warming\, and pose other environmental and health hazards. However\, there are large uncertainties related to many aspects of this issue\, including the physical location of hundreds of thousands of wells\, the extent of methane emissions and other environmental hazards\, and the costs associated with decommissioning these sites. This presentation will describe those uncertainties\, recent estimates on the costs and benefits of decommissioning wells\, and assess a variety of policy options to reduce future risks. \nSpeaker: Daniel Raimi\, Resources for the Future and Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan.\nModerator: Elena Verdolini\, University of Brescia and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\, Italy

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Ben Groom
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nInternational initiatives for reducing carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) could make critical\, cost-effective contributions to tropical countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions. Norway\, a key donor of such initiatives\, has a REDD+ partnership with Indonesia\, offering results-based payments in exchange for emissions reductions calculated against a historical baseline. Central to this partnership is an area-based Moratorium on new oil palm\, timber and logging concessions in primary dryland and peat-land forests. We evaluate the effectiveness of the Moratorium between 2011 and 2018 by applying a matched triple difference strategy to a unique panel dataset. Treated dryland forest inside Moratorium areas retain at most\, an average of 0.65% higher forest cover com-pared to untreated dryland forest outside the Moratorium. By contrast\, carbon-rich peatland forest is unaffected by the Moratorium. Cumulative avoided dryland deforestation from 2011until 2018 translates into 61.7-87.1 million tons of emissions reductions\, implying an effective carbon price below Norway’s US$5 per ton price. Based on Norway’s price\, our estimated cumulative emissions reductions are equivalent to a payment of US$308.4-435.6 million. Annually\, our estimates suggest a 3-4 percent contribution to Indonesia’s NDC commitment of a 29% emissions reduction by 2030. As reducing emissions from deforestation is critical for meeting this commitment\, REDD+ outcomes could be improved by expanding the Moratorium and reforming its incentives and institutional arrangements\, particularly in peatland forest areas. \nTitle: Carbon emissions reductions from Indonesia’s REDD+ Moratorium are cost-effective yet contribute little to Paris commitments\nSpeaker: Ben Groom\, University of Exeter and London School of Economics and Political Science\, UK\nModerator: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\, Italy

SUMMARY:EIEE-SWEEEP Webinar Series – Hallegatte Stephane
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWith increasing attention to risks from climate change\, including at the World Bank\, IMF\, and many central banks\, a lot of work is ongoing to include natural disasters and other climate change risks into the models and tools used to design macro-fiscal policies. The objective is to better inform economic\, fiscal\, and monetary policies\, and take climate change into account in debt sustainability and other macroeconomic assessments. However\, macroeconomic models have not been designed to explore the consequences of natural shocks and stressors\, which makes this inclusion far from straightforward. Using examples from a few countries and projects\, this presentation will review a few important considerations and mechanisms that need to be taken into account in macro-fiscal assessments of natural disaster and climate change risks\, and propose solutions to do so. \nSpeaker: Stephane Hallegatte\, World Bank\nModerator: Massimo Tavoni\, Polytechnic University of Milan and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment \nSWEEEP Webinar Series on “Including natural disasters into macro-fiscal models and analyses” (hosted by RFF-CMCC)

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series on “Public support for air travel restrictions to address COVID-19 or climate change”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAn improved understanding of public support is essential to design effective and feasible climate policies for aviation. Our motivation is the contrast between high support for air travel restrictions responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and low support for restrictions to combat climate change. Can the same factors explain individuals’ support for restrictive measures across two different problems?Using a survey\, we find that largely the same factors explain support. Support increases with expected effectiveness\, perceived threat and imminence of the problem\, shorter expected duration of the measure\, knowledge\, and trust\, while decreases with expected negative consequences for self and the poor. When controlling for all perceptions\, there is no significant residual difference in support depending on whether the measures address climate change or COVID-19. The level of support differs because COVID-19 is perceived as a more imminent threat\, and because measures are expected to be shorter-lasting and more effective. \nSWEEEP Webinar Series on “Public support for air travel restrictions to address COVID-19 or climate change” (hosted by ETH)\nSpeaker: Steffen Kallbekken\, CICERO

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Seminar Series- Perino Grischa
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nGrischa Perino\, U HamburgUnderstanding overlapping policies: Internal carbon leakage and the punctured waterbed \nWe present an integrated framework to understand the emissions impact of unilateral overlapping policies within a carbon-pricing system. “Internal carbon leakage” captures emissions displacement within the system (e.g.\, due to greater product imports from a neighbouring country). The waterbed effect captures the policy’s interaction with the system’s overall emissions cap. Current market rules in the reformed EU ETS\, California’s carbon market and RGGI feature “punctured” waterbeds that allow overlapping policies to affect aggregate emissions. We present simple formulae to estimate internal carbon leakage for different types of policy such as a carbon price floor (perhaps with a border tax adjustment)\, an energy efficiency program\, and renewables support. The sign and magnitude of the climate benefit from an overlapping policy varies widely depending on its design\, location and timing. Punctured waterbeds raise the stakes: well-designed overlapping policies can be much more climate-effective but others now backfire.

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC-NAVIGATE Webinar Nico Bauer
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe Paris Agreement calls for a cooperative response with the aim of limiting global warming to well below two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels while reaffirming the principles of equity and common\, but differentiated responsibilities and capabilities1. Although the goal is clear\, the approach required to achieve it is not. Cap-and-trade policies using uniform carbon prices could produce cost-effective reductions of global carbon emissions\, but tend to impose relatively high mitigation costs on developing and emerging economies. Huge international financial transfers are required to complement cap-and-trade to achieve equal sharing of effort\, defined as an equal distribution of mitigation costs as a share of income2\,3\, and therefore the cap-and-trade policy is often perceived as infringing on national sovereignty2\,3\,4\,5\,6\,7. Here we show that a strategy of international financial transfers guided by moderate deviations from uniform carbon pricing could achieve the goal without straining either the economies or sovereignty of nations. We use the integrated assessment model REMIND–MAgPIE to analyse alternative policies: financial transfers in uniform carbon pricing systems\, differentiated carbon pricing in the absence of financial transfers\, or a hybrid combining financial transfers and differentiated carbon prices. Under uniform carbon prices\, a present value of international financial transfers of 4.4 trillion US dollars over the next 80 years to 2100 would be required to equalize effort. By contrast\, achieving equal effort without financial transfers requires carbon prices in advanced countries to exceed those in developing countries by a factor of more than 100\, leading to efficiency losses of 2.6 trillion US dollars. Hybrid solutions reveal a strongly nonlinear trade-off between cost efficiency and sovereignty: moderate deviations from uniform carbon prices strongly reduce financial transfers at relatively small efficiency losses and moderate financial transfers substantially reduce inefficiencies by narrowing the carbon price spread. We also identify risks and adverse consequences of carbon price differentiation due to market distortions that can undermine environmental sustainability targets8\,9. Quantifying the advantages and risks of carbon price differentiation provides insight into climate and sector-specific policy mixes. \nSpeakers: Nico Bauer\, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK)\, Member of the Leibniz Association\, Potsdam\, Germany \nDiscussant: Ulrike Kornek\, Kiel University (CAU)\, Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC)\, Germany \nModerator: Johannes Emmerling\, RFF‐CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy

SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC-NAVIGATE Webinar – Round table
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nImpacts of COVID-19 and recovery packages on climate change mitigation action \nThe rapid and ongoing spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to societal lockdowns and unprecedented policy measures in most countries around the world. These COVID-19 response measures have resulted in a multifaceted shock on the world economy pushing many countries into a deep recession and affecting both supply and demand.\nThe key question is whether and how the COVID-19 shock will affect emissions and climate change mitigation efforts in the longer term. Researchers in the NAVIGATE project are currently investigating the implications of COVID-19 and recovery packages on climate change mitigation action\, mainly focusing on three categories of impacts that have the potential to substantially influence climate policy developments: Macro-economic impacts\, impacts on demand and lifestyles and impacts on inequality. In this webinar\, the researchers will present concepts and first results of their analyses. \nRound table\nMarina Andrijevic\, Climate Analytics\nJohannes Emmerling\, RFF-CMCC\nPanagiotis Fragkos\, E3M\nJean Francois Mercure\, University of Exeter\nBas van Ruijven\, IIASA\nCharlie Wilson\, University of East Anglia (UEA)\nModerator: Jessica Strefler\, (PIK) \n

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Series – Andrè Albuquerque Sant’Anna
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWednesday\, 16 December 2020\, 3.00-4.00 PM CETTitle: Winds of Fire and Smoke: Air Pollution and Health in the Brazilian Amazon \nIn this paper we assess the effects of fire-related smoke on population health in the Brazilian Amazon. Our empirical strategy is based on a municipality-by-month fixed effects model\, coupled with an instrumental variables approach that explores wind direction and smoke in surrounding areas in order to exogenously shift exposure to smoke at the locality. We find that exposure to smoke\, measured by PM2.5 concentration levels\, is robustly associated with an increase in hospital admissions for respiratory conditions. The effects are higher among children and the elderly\, and increase non-linearly with pollution levels. Our benchmark estimates indicate that an increase of one standard deviation in PM2.5 is related to an increase of 1.5% of the monthly hospitalization rate for respiratory conditions. The latter estimate reaches 14% if monthly average PM2.5 crosses thresholds as high as 75µg/m3 . We do not observe significant effects on hospitalization rates related to other health conditions nor on mortality rates. \nSpeaker: Andrè Albuquerque Sant’Anna\, Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) and Universidade Federal Fluminense
