    Forestación urbana para la adaptación al cambio climático
    (Centro de Desarrollo Urbano Sustentable, 2020) Reyes, Sonia; CEDEUS (Chile)
    El aumento de la superficie global de bosques es una de las estrategias más eficientes para mitigar las emisiones de gases efecto invernadero que están acelerando el cambio climático en todo el planeta. Las ciudades se pueden sumar a esta iniciativa mediante la forestación urbana, una estrategia de adaptación al cambio climático que tiene la capacidad de regular las temperaturas extremas, retener la humedad del suelo y facilitar la infiltración de las aguas lluvias evitando inundaciones.

    Monetary news, U.S. interest rate and business cycles in emerging economies
    (2016) Vicondoa Ramos, Alejandro Martín
    This paper identifies anticipated (news) and unanticipated (surprise) shocks to the U.S. Fed Funds rate using CBOT Fed Funds Future Market and assesses their propagation to emerging economies. Anticipated movements account for 80% of quarterly Fed Funds fluctuations and explain a significant fraction of the narrative monetary policy shocks. An expected 1% increase in the reference interest rate induces a fall of 2% in GDP of emerging economies two quarters before the shock materializes. Unanticipated contractionary shocks also cause a recession. Both shocks have a larger impact in emerging relative to developed economies and the financial channel is the most relevant for their transmission. Anticipation is also relevant to understand the transmission of U.S. real interest rate shocks.

    Powering Up productivity: the effects of electrification on U.S. manufacturing
    Fiszbein, Martin ; Lafortune, Jeanne; Lewis, Ethan G.; Tessada, José
    We use 1890-1940 sector-county level data to identify the impact of electricity on manufacturing industries, exploiting pre-electrification variation in energy intensity across industries combined with variation across locations in proximity to early hydroelectric power plants. We find that labor productivity gains from electricity were rapid and long-lasting, in contrast with established narratives. Electrification was quickly accompanied by capital deepening and organizational changes that may have contributed to these gains. Impacts varied with market structure: productivity increased without expanding employment in sector-county cells with large initial firm size, while, in contrast, both output and employment increased in cells with small initial firm size.
