1. Revisiting the climate driver and inhibitor mechanisms of international migration

Author:
Wesselbaum, Dennis

Subject:
climatic factors,   etc   ; rain; temperature; Africa;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... In this paper, we add to the literature on the driving forces of international migration out of Africa. We particularly focus on the direct effect of climate variables: temperature, rainfall, and weather-related disaster. We revisit the question whether climate is a driver or inhibitor of migration using migration flows out of all African countries from 1980 to 2015 into 16 OECD countries. Our fin ...

Abstract:
... Asymmetry of dependence is an inherent property of bivariate probability distributions. Being symmetric, commonly used dependence measures such as Pearson’s r or Spearman’s ρ mask asymmetry and implicitly assume that a random variable Y is equally dependent on a random variable X as vice versa. A copula-based, hence scale-invariant dependence measure called ζ1 overcoming the just mentioned problem ...

Abstract:
... Water resources face an unparalleled confluence of pressures, with agriculture and urban growth as the most relevant human-related stressors. In this context, methodologies using a Nexus framework seem to be suitable to address these challenges. However, the urban sector has been commonly ignored in the Nexus literature. We propose a Nexus framework approach, considering the economic dimensions of ...

Abstract:
... Climate and competition interact to affect species’ performance, such as growth and survival, and help determine species distributions and coexistence. However, it is unclear how climatic conditions modulate frequency‐dependent performance, that is, how performance changes as a species becomes locally rare or common. This is critical because declines in performance as a species becomes more common ...

Droughts are significant drivers of land degradation, which in turn has adverse effects on resource-dependent rural populations and can potentially lead to livelihood losses and subsequent migration out of affected areas. Linkages between land degradation and migration are complex and not particularly well documented, as they occur within a larger context of multi-scale interactions of socio-econo ...
