This paper performs a meta-regression analysis to derive the role of techniques, data and variable's definition on the effect of the labor-market determinants on interregional migration. We use Spain as a case of study, a country with heterogeneous and even counterintuitive behavior of internal migration flows to its labor-market drivers. We use da...

Environmental taxes are usually perceived as regressive. However, delving into the literature of the distributional effects of environmental taxation reveals that the heterogeneity within and between studies lead to divergent conclusions. This paper employs a meta-regression analysis of the existing studies about the effects of ecological taxes on...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled ‘Economic Growth, Fossil Fuel and Non-Fossil Consumption: A Pooled Mean Group Analysis using Proxies for Capital’ (J. Asafu-Adjaye, D. Byrne, M. Alvarez, 2016) [1]. This article describes data modified from three publicly available data sources: the World Bank׳s World D...

Se analizan los potenciales efectos de diversas políticas climáticas sobre la distribución del ingreso en América Latina.

This study employs a Pooled Mean Group estimator to examine the nexus between economic growth and fossil and non-fossil fuel consumption for 53 countries between 1990 and 2012. The global sample was divided into four categories: developed exporters, developed importers, developing exporters and developing importers. The purpose of these categories...
