Book Description
Empirical research on anthropogenic climate change is constrained by two fundamental facts: climate change is unprecedented and its impacts occur gradually. This implies that neither evidence from recent history nor the near future can directly inform policy. Under such circumstances, empirical research must find historical analogs capturing particular features of future climate change and policy, which, combined with theory, can provide credible out-of-sample predictions. The four papers in this dissertation use new data settings and methodologies to causally examine central questions related to climate change mitigation, adaptation, innovation, and impacts. Results from these papers can help inform future climate-related research and various issues regarding the political economy of climate policy.

Three Essays on Marx’s Value Theory
Author: Samir AminPublisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1583674241

Pages : 97
Book Description
In this slim, insightful volume, noted economist Samir Amin returns to the core of Marxian economic thought: Marx’s theory of value. He begins with the same question that Marx, along with the classical economists, once pondered: how can every commodity, including labor power, sell at its value on the market and still produce a profit for owners of capital? While bourgeois economists attempted to answer this question according to the categories of capitalist society itself, Marx sought to peer through the surface phenomena of market transactions and develop his theory by examining the actual social relations they obscured. The debate over Marx’s conclusions continues to this day. Amin defends Marx’s theory of value against its critics and also tackles some of its trickier aspects. He examines the relationship between Marx’s abstract concepts—such as “socially necessary labor time”—and how they are manifested in the capitalist marketplace as prices, wages, rents, and so on. He also explains how variations in price are affected by the development of “monopoly- capitalism,” the abandonment of the gold standard, and the deepening of capitalism as a global system. Amin extends Marx’s theory and applies it to capitalism’s current trajectory in a way that is unencumbered by the weight of orthodoxy and unafraid of its own radical conclusions.

Book Description
My dissertation focuses on the political economy of the environment, particularly for climate change. Specifically, I analyze the consequence of climate politics on climate change regulations at national and global levels. The first chapter, "Climate Finance under Conflicts and Renegotiations: A Dynamic Contract Approach," proposes a model of financing two types of climate change projects---adaptation and mitigation---in developing countries. The model in the first chapter considers climate funds (e.g. the Green Climate Fund) as the financial mechanism to provide funding to developing countries. The model demonstrates the consequences of conflicts and renegotiations between rich and poor countries on long-term climate funding dynamics. The second chapter, "Social Media Campaigns, Lobbying and Legislation: Evidence from #climatechange/#globalwarming and Energy Lobbies," estimates the competition between social media campaigns and fossil fuel lobbying on climate change legislation in the U.S., showing that social media contributes to political polarization on climate-unfriendly bills on which the fossil fuel industry exerted the lobbying pressure during the 113-115th U.S. Congresses (2013-2018).
