Can foreign aid mitigate the effects of climate variability in agriculture? Evidence from the low-and middle-income countries
This paper examines the effectiveness of foreign aid in the agricultural sector in the presence of climate variability. Climate variability, measured by fluctuations in temperature and precipitation rates, can disrupt production and, in particular, lower agricultural productivity and access to food. On the other hand, foreign aid in agriculture is targeted towards low- and middle-income countries to increase people's welfare and strengthen govern…
Socioeconomic inequalities and the role of sectoral foreign aid in developing countries
Using a panel threshold regression approach, we consider multiple dimensions of socioeconomic inequalities and examine their heterogeneous relationships with sectoral foreign aid. Conditioned on the level of socioeconomic development, three types of inequality and four channels of sectoral foreign aid are considered. We use a comprehensive dataset covering 65 aid‐recipient countries from 1990 to 2017 and find that education aid effectively reduce…
Travelling, anxiety and the impact of Covid-19
Using rich individual-level data, this study examines the effect of travelling on mental health in Italy. Italy is characterized by high coronavirus transmission rates during the early stages of the pandemic. Our findings confirm the existence of heterogeneous effects of domestic versus international travelling on anxiety. We find that international travelling is positively associated with anxiety, while domestic travel reduced anxiety among Ital…

Does energy aid improve energy efficiency in developing countries
Aspects of Productivity
The Contribution of Wheat to Australian Agriculture from 1861 to 1939
The influence of agriculture on Australia's nineteenth and twentieth century economic development is well known. While wool's contribution is rightly celebrated, the contribution of agricultural crops has received less attention. This paper focuses on one major staple, wheat, from 1861 to 1939. Both patent data and a new measure of technological progress, the cumulative number of wheat varieties tested for local adoption, are used to quantify the…
