Although the estimation of the elasticity of the household carbon footprint and income is a frequently analysed fact, unfortunately a fundamental aspect of this relationship has not been considered: it is not a constant factor for the whole population. To make an adequate estimate of this relationship, a Quantile Regression is proposed, obtaining s...

New evidence is provided on the determinants of the carbon footprint (CF) at the household level, using the Spanish case as an example and data from the Household Budget Survey (HBS) and the E-MRIO database. The research presents two new contributions. On the one hand, the basis of analysis on what we call ‘Excess per capita CF’, that is, the part...

A lo largo del año 2020, la pandemia causada por el coronavirus ha tenido impactos devastadores. Habría que remontarse a las dos guerras mundiales o a la gripe de 1918-1920 para encontrar una convulsión comparable. Para combatirla, dada la naturaleza altamente contagiosa del virus, ha sido imprescindible restringir severamente la movilidad humana,...

The aim of this article is to simulate the economic impact on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment of renewable energy sources investment in Morocco over the next 40 years. In this sense, several potential scenarios of energy component evolution have been used based on the results of a specific survey to sector stakeholders. We obtain accura...

This article presents the results of a simulation on the short-, medium- and long-term aggregated economic contribution of Syrian refugees on the Turkish economy. The simulation is focused on two sources of impact: refugees’ access to the Turkish labor market and the investment flow generated by Syrians inside the country. An input–output approach...

In this report we present the results of a simulation exercises aimed at assessing the economic impact of refugees on the Turkish economy over the short, medium and long terms. The value added by the text can be summarised by the following key contributions: • Focus on a middle-income labour-abundant hosting country: Although migrationdriven impact...

The main objective of this article is to explore the causes of household electricity poverty in Spain from an innovative perspective. Based on evidence of energy inequality across households with different income levels, a quantile regression approach was used to better capture the heterogeneity of determinants of energy poverty across different le...

Immigration has been a focal point for Europe’s public attention and its political arena for some years now. But never with such intensity as in 2015 and 2016. Forced immigration has been particularly central over these two years, as personified by the more than a million refugees who have travelled to Europe – principally across the Mediterranean...

Using the ECM2 survey data on Ecuadorian migrants returning from Spain, we investigate the determinants of reintegration upon return. We study how the migration experience, but also the before- and after-migration characteristics, correlate with migrants’ outcomes upon return. We adopt a broad conception of reintegration, considering jointly labour...

The basic purpose of this study is to describe a suitable technical procedure for a complete evaluation of the economic impact of immigrants’ workers on GDP and employment during a given period. A technical Input-Output scheme is precisely depicted, emphasising how to take into account, in its different stages, quite specific features in relation t...

Three out of four immigrants who arrived in Spain or who were subsequently reunited with their families after the early 2000s were looking for better jobs and a higher standard of living. Almost fifteen years later, one might pertinently ask whether they have achieved their goals. Most of the foreign population in Spain is especially susceptible to...

The link between trade liberalization and poverty reduction has played a crucial role on economic policy in developing and least developed countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Academic research shows a remarkable lack of consensus and no clear effects in the direction of these linkages. This study presents an overview of the impact of tra...

This article presents the results of a survey on the feasibility of, and difficulties in, establishing a locally CSP manufacturing industry in Morocco. First, the survey explores which specific components of the CSP production chain could be manufactured in Morocco today and which would require moderate or significant changes being made in that cou...

In recent years, the Madrid Region (Comunidad de Madrid) has experienced a huge increase in immigrants accessing the labour market. In this paper, a dynamic input-output exercise is presented, yielding the direct and indirect effects of this migration inflow on the Madrid GDP. In addition, the induced demand effect is estimated, offering a complete...

L’étude consiste à évaluer la capacité du Maroc à réaliser les objectifs du Plan Maroc Vert (PMV) en termes économique et social et l’impact de ce Plan sur la production agricole et sur l’évolution du PIB global, des équilibres macroéconomiques, du bien-être des ménages en termes de revenus et de consommation de biens et services, ainsi que sur les...

Understanding the extent to which immigration is a predominantly permanent or transitory phenomenon is essential for host countries insofar as it affects the strategic design of their admission, reception, and integration policies. Beyond the determination of the volume of returns, it is crucial to also determine which covariates connect better wit...

Renewable Energies and Sustainable Develop-ment in the Mediterranean: Morocco and the Medi-terranean Solar Plan (MSP)This document has been produced with the financial assis-tance of the European Union within the context of the FEMISE program. The contents of this document are the sole respon-sibility of the authors and can under no circumstances b...

In this paper we identify the renewable energy source (RES) demand scenarios for Morocco, the needs of RES installed capacity according to those scenarios and the detailed investment plans needed to achieve such installed capacity supply. Then, using a dynamic variant input–output model, we simulate the macroeconomic impact of the foreign investmen...

Immigration dynamics have varied across time and across countries and immigration flows can have a significant economic, social, political and cultural impact on host countries. The challenge for policy makers and academics is to better understand to what extent public policy decisions can influence migration flows and their impact. To address this...
