Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change presents an unprecedented challenge with far-reaching economic implications. As global temperatures rise and weather patterns become increasingly erratic, the economic risks associated with these changes grow more significant. Simultaneously, the transition to a low-carbon economy offers numerous opportunities for innovation, investment, and sustainable growth. This Special Issue aims to explore the intersection of climate change and economic impact, focusing on how advanced statistical-econometric techniques can be utilized to mitigate risks and capitalize on emerging opportunities. The Issue provides a comprehensive overview of current research, practical applications, and policy implications, offering valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders.
A critical aspect of understanding the economic impact of climate change is the integration of climate econometric models with economic forecasting tools. This approach combines the expertise of climate science with the analytical power of econometrics to produce models that predict the effects of climate change on economic variables like GDP, employment, and investment. These integrated models are essential for developing informed policy and investment strategies (e.g., multivariate time-series analysis, dynamic panel data, spatial econometric techniques, and so forth).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the econometric analysis of climate policies, risk assessment and management in various sectors, the agricultural sector, the economic modeling of renewable energy adoption, and the impact of climate change on financial markets.
The Guest Editors are Dr. Antonio Pacifico and Dr. Alfonso Carfora, Assistant Professors at the University of Macerata, who bring a wealth of experience and expertise to this Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and advancing the understanding of climate change and its economic impact through this important and timely issue.
