TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impacts of CDM projects on CO₂ emission reductions for 60 CDM host countries over 2005-10 and provided evidence in support of a decline in emissions in the host countries.
Abstract: This research studies whether the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol achieves its objective of emission reductions in the host countries. It empirically investigates the impacts of CDM projects on CO₂ emission reductions for 60 CDM host countries over 2005-10. This research makes use of the newly-developed econometric methods for dynamic panel data models associated with X-differencing procedure. It provides evidence in support of a decline in CO₂ emissions in the CDM host countries. It has important policy implications that encourage the international community to support developing countries’ efforts towards low-carbon development via CDM projects.

TL;DR: This paper revisited the study by Dhammika Dharmapala and Nadine Riedel on income shifting between European multinationals published in the Journal of Public Economics in 2013 and used a promising alternative causal identification strategy for profit-shifting based on earnings shocks.
Abstract: This article revisits the study by Dhammika Dharmapala and Nadine Riedel on income shifting between European multinationals published in the Journal of Public Economics in 2013 It used a promising alternative causal identification strategy for profit-shifting based on earnings shocks, which has over a short time period been frequently cited in the literature Using data from the same database, albeit for a period 10 years later, for 2006–2015, the significant causal evidence for profit-shifting from European parent firms to their lower taxed European subsidiaries cannot be reproduced Neither can similar results be obtained by considering profit-shifting to subsidiaries located anywhere in the world Results in line with those of the original study can however be found when using effective rather than statutory corporate tax rates While these findings raise concerns about the external validity of earlier studies’ result, it should not put the existence and extent of profit-shifting into question

TL;DR: A thorough review of the advances made so far in seasonal climate predictions and their applications for management and decision-making in agriculture can be found in this paper, where the authors identify the challenges to be addressed in the next 5 to 10 years, especially in developing countries.
Abstract: A thorough review of the advances made so far in seasonal climate predictions and their applications for management and decision-making in agriculture.A practical tool for decision-makers, this book identifies the challenges to be addressed in the next 5 to 10 years, especially in developing countries.In an age of such uncertainty over climate change, there are few more important issues than that of how we feed ourselves.We need to know more about the potential impact of climate uncertainty on our food supplies – and this book is an important addition to the literature in this field.Improved adaptation of food production, particularly in areas where climate variability is large, holds the key to improving food security for human populations.Increasing climate knowledge and improved prediction capabilities facilitate the development of relevant climate information and prediction products for applications in agriculture. This in turn reduces the negative impacts due to climate variations and enhances planning activities based on the developing capacity of climate science.This book, based on an International Workshop held in Geneva in 2005, reviews the advances made so far in seasonal climate predictions and their applications for management and decision-making in agriculture.It also identifies the challenges to be addressed in the next 5 to 10 years to further enhance operational applications of climate predictions in agriculture.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the components of two prominent highly asymmetric negotiations to assess the channels through which the resulting organisation of trade may impact the vulnerability profile of the developing country partners.
Abstract: Free trade agreements between countries at different ends of the development spectrum have become increasingly common over the past decade. The impact that this type of arrangement has on trade flows has been widely modelled; however, the extent to which it can be expected to affect economic vulnerability is an aspect that has largely been overlooked. Yet as the economic distance between negotiating partners widens, the likelihood that changes in trade flows will affect the economic structure of the less developed partner increase. This paper explores the components of two prominent highly asymmetric negotiations – the Dominican Republic – Central America Free Trade Agreement and the European Union – Caribbean Forum Economic Partnership Agreement – to assess the channels through which the resulting organisation of trade may impact the vulnerability profile of the developing country partners. We find that these FTAs have the potential to address economic vulnerability in the developing country partners in ways that would not be possible in their absence.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the recent literature on the developmental effects of resource abundance, assessing likely effects and channels with respect to key development outcomes, and present a review of the existing literature.
