Operationalizing just transition
We develop a framework for operationalizing the concept of a "just transition" that is both evidence-based and informed by principles of justice. The quantitative framework for assessing household vulnerability combines the IPCC’s definition of vulnerability and the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) indices originally designed for poverty measurement. It evaluates vulnerability along three dimensions: incidence, intensity, and inequality. Using admini…
Fiscal weakness, the (under-) provision of public services, and institutional reform
The fact that many developing countries spend little on growth-promoting public services is often blamed on “fiscal weakness”. We propose a novel framework to study the consequences of an exogenous improvement in public revenues. We demonstrate that higher revenues may induce the group in power to use a dual repression approach, one pillar of which is to aggravate the “underspending” on growth-promoting public services. However, we also identify …
Differences in Motivations and Academic Achievement
This paper provides new evidence on the effect of pupils’ self-motivation on academic achievement in science across countries. By using the OECD ́s Programme for International Student Assessment 2006 (PISA 2006) test, we find that self-motivation has a positive effect on students’ performance. Instrumental Variables Quantile Regression is used to analyze the existence of different estimated coefficients over the scores distribution, allowing us t…

Types of fat intake and body mass index in a Mediterranean country
Background Although the fatty acid fractions provide similar metabolizable energy, the type of dietary fat consumed could be relevant to the development of obesity. Objective To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), obesity and the consumption of different types of fat and olive oil in a Mediterranean country with high prevalence of obesity, and high intake of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and olive oil. Subjects The st…
