This paper investigates the influence of specialization, urbanization, and diversification externalities on the dynamics of tourism employment in Brazilian microregions. We use a dynamic panel data model for the 2006–2019 period. The location quotient, population density and the inverse of the Hirschman–Herfindahl index, proxies for specialization, urbanization, and diversification, respectively, positively affect tourism employment in the long run. Based on the estimated long-run elasticities, the specialization externality produces the strongest influence on tourism employment after a permanent increase of one standard deviation.

本文研究了专业化、城市化和多样化外部因素对巴西微观地区旅游业就业动态的影响。我们使用的是 2006-2019 年期间的动态面板数据模型。区位商、人口密度和赫希曼-赫芬达尔指数的倒数分别代表专业化、城市化和多样化,它们在长期内对旅游就业产生积极影响。根据估计的长期弹性,专业化外部性在永久性增加一个标准差后对旅游就业的影响最大。

Fuel subsidies, intended to improve consumer affordability, can result in economic distortions through altered relative prices and negative environmental impacts. Furthermore, these subsidies can lead to unintended consequences, such as fuel smuggling, especially to neighboring countries where significant price differences exist. While previous research has extensively explored the economic dimensions of fuel subsidies, the potential interplay between fuel smuggling and its impact on regional income distribution remains understudied. This study investigates the effects of fuel smuggling, stemming from Iran's long history of significant fuel subsidies, on income distribution across all 30 provinces of the country. We employ a model to specify the demand for fuel smuggling, using fuel prices in neighboring countries and the distance to the nearest border as sources of identification. Subsequently, we estimate the monthly smuggling profit across regions and assess this profit's influence on regional income distribution. Our empirical analysis draws on monthly data on gasoline and diesel sales from 160 fuel distribution districts in Iran, spanning the period from 2005 to 2014. Our findings demonstrate specific cases of smuggling activities that account for an average of 25% of total fuel consumption and generate substantial income in economically disadvantaged border provinces. We discuss the socioeconomic implications of fuel subsidies, with a focus on smuggling activities.

旨在提高消费者负担能力的燃料补贴可能会通过改变相对价格和对环境产生负面影响而导致经济扭曲。此外,这些补贴还可能导致意想不到的后果,如燃料走私,特别是走私到存在巨大价格差异的邻国。虽然以往的研究广泛探讨了燃料补贴的经济层面,但对燃料走私及其对地区收入分配的影响之间的潜在相互作用仍然研究不足。本研究调查了燃料走私对伊朗所有 30 个省收入分配的影响,燃料走私源于伊朗长期大量的燃料补贴。我们使用一个模型来明确燃料走私的需求,并将邻国的燃料价格和到最近边境的距离作为识别来源。随后,我们估算了各地区每月的走私利润,并评估了这一利润对地区收入分配的影响。我们的实证分析利用了伊朗 160 个燃料分销区的汽油和柴油月度销售数据,时间跨度为 2005 年至 2014 年。我们的研究结果显示了走私活动的具体案例,这些活动平均占燃料消费总量的 25%,并为经济落后的边境省份带来了可观的收入。我们以走私活动为重点,讨论了燃料补贴的社会经济影响。

In this paper, we study the impact of the New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) program in the United States on overall jobs and jobs held by minority and rural populations within the 2010–2019 period using a dynamic event-study analysis. We also investigate if the jobs that can be attributed to the program stayed in program recipient neighborhoods or whether those jobs were occupied by non-residents. The results show that there is clear evidence that the program increased overall workplace jobs and workplace jobs held by White and minority populations in the program recipient tracts. We also see that a larger share of workplace jobs due to the program went to minorities compared to the job shares held by various racial and ethnic groups at the beginning of the investment period. The results further show that even though the NMTC program increased the number of jobs available in a program recipient tract, the individuals who live outside that tract are holding many of the jobs created. The results also suggest that the program had a negative impact on jobs held by residents in nonmetropolitan tracts.

在本文中,我们采用动态事件研究分析法,研究了美国新市场税收抵免(NMTC)计划在 2010-2019 年期间对总体就业岗位以及少数族裔和农村人口就业岗位的影响。我们还调查了可归因于该计划的工作岗位是否留在了该计划的受援社区,或者这些工作岗位是否被非居民占据。结果显示,有明显的证据表明,该计划增加了整体工作场所的工作机会,也增加了该计划接受地区的白人和少数民族人口所拥有的工作场所的工作机会。我们还看到,与投资期开始时不同种族和族裔群体所占的工作岗位比例相比,该计划为少数族裔提供了更多的工作岗位。结果进一步表明,尽管 NMTC 计划增加了计划受援区内的工作岗位数量,但居住在该区以外的个人却占据了所创造的许多工作岗位。结果还表明,该计划对非大都市地区居民的就业产生了负面影响。

Assessing the environmental performance of green mortgage-backed securities 评估绿色抵押支持证券的环境绩效

The green bond market is growing substantially, bringing with it a focus on economic and environmental performance. Yet while extensive work exists examining the former, there is little concrete evidence regarding the efficacy of green bond use-of-proceeds. Concurrently, the demand for ESG-compliant investments provides an opportunity to direct capital toward the rehabilitation of one of the most energy-intensive asset classes: real estate. One program in this space, the Fannie Mae Green Rewards green bond program, offers incentives to borrowers to increase multifamily building energy and water efficiency. Although all program participants must complete a set of preapproved projects targeting energy and water efficiency within 12 months of loan origination, there exists substantial variation in the realization of postorigination efficiency outcomes, and in the variation between projected and actual efficiency improvements. We find that fixed interest rates and supplemental financing loan structures are associated with postorigination energy efficiency improvements, as are newer, larger, and high-quality assets. However, the ex ante estimates of efficiency savings provided to prospective investors prove unrelated to the efficiency outcomes. These findings highlight opportunities to improve program transparency and calibration across the green bond universe.

绿色债券市场正在大幅增长,带来了对经济和环境绩效的关注。然而,尽管对前者进行了大量研究,但有关绿色债券收益使用效果的具体证据却少之又少。与此同时,对符合环境、社会和公司治理标准的投资的需求也提供了一个机会,可以将资金投入到能源密集度最高的资产类别之一:房地产的改造中。在这一领域,房利美绿色奖励绿色债券计划为借款人提供奖励,以提高多户建筑的能源和用水效率。尽管所有项目参与者都必须在贷款发放后的 12 个月内完成一系列预先批准的节能节水项目,但贷款发放后的节能成果实现情况以及预计和实际节能效果之间存在很大差异。我们发现,固定利率和补充融资贷款结构与贷款发放后能效的提高有关,较新、较大和高质量的资产也与贷款发放后能效的提高有关。然而,事实证明,向潜在投资者提供的事前节能估算与节能结果无关。这些发现凸显了在整个绿色债券领域提高项目透明度和校准的机会。

Damage versus risk perception: Why do house prices recover after hurricanes? 损失与风险意识:为什么飓风过后房价会回升?

I study house price dynamics following Hurricane Sandy to explain the common puzzling finding of a price drop followed by a complete price recovery. Applying a quasi-experimental difference-in-differences research design on Zillow parcel-level sales data combined with Federal Emergency Management Agency data on damaged structures, I show that the extent of direct damages drives the decline in house prices. The extent of remodeling expenditures, as estimated from building permits, is found to be responsible for causing the return of prices to pre-storm levels. Comparing flood insurance take-up rates in the affected and non-affected areas within floodplains and similarly for outside floodplains, I find no revision in perceived risk in the floodplain. In contrast, there has been an increase in flood insurance take-up rates in affected areas outside of floodplains after the hurricane.

我研究了 "桑迪 "飓风后的房价动态,以解释价格下跌后又完全恢复这一常见的令人费解的现象。通过对 Zillow 地块级销售数据与联邦紧急事务管理局受损建筑数据相结合的准实验性差异研究设计,我发现直接受损程度推动了房价的下跌。根据建筑许可证估算出的改建支出程度被认为是导致房价恢复到风暴前水平的原因。比较洪泛区内受影响地区和非受影响地区的洪水保险投保率以及洪泛区外的投保率,我发现洪泛区内的风险感知没有变化。相反,飓风过后,洪泛区外受灾地区的洪水保险投保率有所上升。

The economic effect of climate hazard events varies by time and by location. This paper investigates how climate shocks to local property markets transmit to capital markets and provides evidence of the extent to which forward-looking climate risk is capitalized into the public valuations of those property markets. We first quantify the exposure of real estate portfolios to locations that recently experienced climate events (Event Exposure). Using an event study framework, we find that, in the post-event period, a one-standard-deviation increase in ex-ante Event Exposure is associated with a 0.2–1.4 percentage points decrease in quarterly stock returns. Cross-sectional analyses reveal that differences in return effects can be explained by variation in the extent to which the area focuses on climate change. Similarly, we find that forward-looking climate risk assessment negatively affects firm valuations only in markets with a focus on climate change. Consistent with these findings, we provide evidence that climate events (shocks) induce retail investors (noise traders) to decrease their stock holdings and that blockholders tend to take the opposite side in these transactions. We also show that conditioning on consumer sentiment helps to explain cross-sectional variation in the response of stock returns to climate events.

气候灾害事件的经济影响因时间和地点而异。本文研究了气候对当地房地产市场的冲击是如何传导到资本市场的,并提供了前瞻性气候风险在多大程度上被资本化到这些房地产市场的公共估值中的证据。我们首先量化了房地产投资组合在最近发生气候事件的地区的风险敞口(事件风险敞口)。利用事件研究框架,我们发现在事件发生后的时期,事前事件风险敞口每增加一个标准差,季度股票回报率就会下降 0.2-1.4 个百分点。横截面分析表明,回报率效应的差异可以用该地区对气候变化关注程度的不同来解释。同样,我们发现前瞻性气候风险评估只对关注气候变化的市场的公司估值产生负面影响。与这些发现相一致,我们提供的证据表明,气候事件(冲击)会导致散户投资者(噪音交易者)减持股票,而在这些交易中,大股东往往会站在相反的一方。我们还表明,以消费者情绪为条件有助于解释股票回报率对气候事件反应的横截面差异。

This study investigates the capitalization of climate shocks in commercial real estate owned and operated by professional investors. We focus on Hurricanes Harvey and Sandy to quantify the price impacts of climate shocks on commercial buildings in Texas and New York. We find clear evidence of a decline in transaction prices in hurricane-damaged areas after the hurricanes made landfall, compared to unaffected areas. We also observe that the “new news” about climate risk is significantly priced in both states—assets in locations outside the FEMA floodplain (with a lower prior perception of flood risk) that were inundated by the hurricanes experienced larger price discounts, indicating that actual flooding updates investors' perception of flood risk. Moreover, we find that the hurricane discount is more pronounced among buyers with more transaction experience. The transaction price discount also increases with higher climate change beliefs in the local market and among investors. Our findings underline the role of information provision and environmental awareness in the materialization of climate risks' impact on commercial real estate values.

本研究调查了气候冲击对专业投资者所拥有和经营的商业房地产的资本化影响。我们以 "哈维 "和 "桑迪 "飓风为重点,量化气候冲击对得克萨斯州和纽约州商业建筑的价格影响。我们发现,与未受影响的地区相比,飓风登陆后受飓风破坏地区的交易价格明显下降。我们还观察到,关于气候风险的 "新消息 "在这两个州都有显著的定价效应--在联邦紧急事务管理局洪泛区(之前对洪水风险的认知较低)以外的地区,被飓风淹没的资产经历了更大的价格折扣,这表明实际洪水更新了投资者对洪水风险的认知。此外,我们还发现,飓风折扣在交易经验丰富的买家中更为明显。当地市场和投资者对气候变化的信念越高,交易价格折扣也越大。我们的研究结果强调了信息提供和环境意识在气候风险对商业房地产价值影响的具体化中的作用。

The use of high-dimensional fixed-effects estimation has become customary with the estimation of gravity models of bilateral trade, migration, or commuting as outcome. However, fixed-effects methods can be used without incidental-parameter bias in a very small set of stochastic models. Alternatives to fixed-effects estimation are iterative-structural model estimation or linearizations of the structural model. Baier and Bergstrand deployed such a linearization. While easy to implement, the approach has drawbacks related to the approximation point and lack of observability of ingredients needed for the linearization. This compromises empirical work. The present paper provides a remedy to this problem by linearizing at the observed trade equilibrium.

在估算双边贸易、移民或通勤结果的引力模型时,使用高维固定效应估算已成为惯例。然而,固定效应方法只适用于极少量的随机模型,不会产生附带参数偏差。固定效应估算的替代方法是迭代结构模型估算或结构模型线性化。Baier 和 Bergstrand 采用了这种线性化方法。这种方法虽然易于实施,但存在近似点和线性化所需的成分缺乏可观测性等缺点。这影响了实证工作。本文通过在观察到的贸易均衡点上进行线性化,对这一问题进行了补救。

Using individual data from the Italian Labor Force Survey, we investigate the impact of immigration on the Gini index and the percentile ratio (p90/p10) at the household level within Labor Market Areas (LMAs) in Italy from 2008 to 2018. To identify the effect of immigration we construct a composite index based on demographic and occupation-related characteristics that captures the degree of similarity between immigrants and natives across LMAs. This approach addresses the limitations of the standard cell segmentation method and allows us to estimate the impact of immigration on the entire distribution of natives' earnings. To address endogeneity concerns we use an instrument proposed by Card, which exploits the tendency of immigrants to migrate to areas with a pre-existing group of immigrants of the same ethnicity. Our findings show that immigration reduces income inequality among natives and the effect is larger in those LMAs where the degree of similarity between immigrants and natives is higher. We also find that immigration has a positive effect on natives' labor income in occupations that require language skills, while the effect is not significant in low/no skilled jobs that only require basic language skills, or highly skilled jobs where interaction between immigrants and natives is limited.

利用意大利劳动力调查的个人数据,我们研究了 2008 年至 2018 年移民对意大利劳动力市场区(LMA)内家庭层面的基尼指数和百分位数比率(p90/p10)的影响。为了确定移民的影响,我们构建了一个基于人口和职业相关特征的综合指数,以捕捉各 LMA 之间移民和本地人的相似程度。这种方法解决了标准单元分割法的局限性,使我们能够估算移民对本地人整个收入分布的影响。为了解决内生性问题,我们使用了卡德提出的一种工具,即利用移民倾向于迁移到已有同种族移民群体的地区。我们的研究结果表明,移民减少了本地人之间的收入不平等,而且在移民和本地人相似程度较高的地方经济区,移民的影响更大。我们还发现,在需要语言技能的职业中,移民对本地人的劳动收入有积极影响,而在只需要基本语言技能的低技能/无技能工作或移民与本地人之间互动有限的高技能工作中,移民对本地人劳动收入的影响并不显著。

This paper investigates how institutional conditions at national and regional levels shape the decisions of Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) to invest abroad by means of either acquisitions or greenfield investments. The empirical analysis covers all foreign direct investment (FDI) projects in the European Union by the largest MNEs in the world to study alternative choices by the same firm and account for firm-level characteristics in investment decisions. The empirical results show that—other things being equal—regions with stronger investment eco-systems are more likely to attract acquisitions, while greenfield investments are more likely in regions with comparatively weaker systemic conditions. Howerver, the regional quality of institutions makes a fundamental difference to the nature of the investment projects attracted by regions: those with high quality of government can attract greenfield investments undertaken by the most productive MNEs. By improving their quality of government, local, and regional policy makers can attract higher quality greenfield investment projects to their constituencies, potentially breaking the vicious circle between low productivity areas and low productivity FDI.

本文研究了国家和地区层面的制度条件如何影响跨国企业(MNE)通过收购或绿地投资方式进行海外投资的决策。实证分析涵盖了世界上最大的跨国企业在欧盟的所有外国直接投资(FDI)项目,以研究同一企业的其他选择,并考虑投资决策中的企业层面特征。实证结果表明,在其他条件相同的情况下,投资生态系统较强的地区更有可能吸引并购,而系统条件相对较弱的地区则更有可能吸引绿地投资。此外,地区机构的质量对地区吸引的投资项目的性质有着根本性的影响:政府质量高的地区能够吸引最具生产力的跨国企业进行绿地投资。通过提高政府质量,地方和区域决策者可以为其选区吸引更高质量的绿地投资项目,从而有可能打破低生产力地区与低生产力外国直接投资之间的恶性循环。
