Does Productivity Growth Promote Environmental Sustainability? The Role of Financial Development
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates whether total factor productivity (TFP) promotes environmental sustainability and examines the moderating and mediating roles of financial development in shaping this relationship. Using balanced panel data for 92 countries from 2000 to 2023, the analysis employs dynamic two‐step Generalised Method of Moments (GMM ...

Income Mobility, Automation, and Occupational Licensing
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Technological change has long been tied with distributional concerns due to displacement against certain skills on labor markets. Short‐run dislocations could create scarring in the long run. For example, shifts against less skilled workers with children could limit their ability to improve the inter‐generational income mobility of their ...
