Energy Poverty and Climate Shocks: Are Changing Weather Patterns Leaving South Africa in the Dark?
ABSTRACT Energy and climate change are deeply interlinked, with the latter exerting significant influence on energy demand and supply. In regions such as South Africa, where socio‐economic vulnerability is high, understanding how climate change affects energy poverty is essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 7 ...

ABSTRACT Identifying the principal drivers of carbon emissions is vital for designing effective mitigation strategies and supporting long‐term environmental sustainability. Although previous studies have explored multiple determinants of emissions, limited attention has been paid to the most influential energy–technology channels within trade‐dependent

Model Misspecification and Under-Diversification
In this Paper we develop a model of intertemporal portfolio choice where an investor accounts explicitly for the possibility of model misspecification. This work is motivated by the difficulty in estimating precisely the probability law for asset returns.

ABSTRACT In advanced European economies facing persistent environmental pressures, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires aligning technological transformation with ecological constraints. This study examines the asymmetric effects of medium‐ and high‐technology (M&HTEC) industries on environmental sustainability in the EU‐5 ...

Electrification and Child Work: Direct and Spillover Effects in Ethiopia
ABSTRACT While electrification is often promoted for improving adults' labor supply, its effect on child work remains underexplored. Using four waves of Ethiopian panel data, we examine how electrification affects children's work time. By differentiating between households with and without own electricity access within electrified communities, we ...
