Investor Origin and Deforestation
Does mining activity lead to deforestation? How does investor origin affect the environmental impacts of mining operations? We investigate these questions by estimating the causal impact of mineral price changes on deforestation near mining sites. Combining global mine propertylevel data with high-resolution satellite imagery on forest cover, we find a positive elasticity of deforestation to mineral price shocks. This elasticity is significantly …

Heterogeneous Firms under Regional Temperature Shocks
Are less productive firms in developing countries disproportionately affected by climate change? Using firm-level data from Indonesia, I find less productive firms are more likely to exit the surveys when temperature rises. Also, there is relative output redistribution to the initially more productive firms. The results are consistent with a heterogeneous firm model that has a skill-biased production function, where heat disproportionately affect…
