Essays in Environmental Economics: Exploring the Effects of Extreme Events
Full text linkWildfires are destructive and are expected to become more costly and impact more people in the future. This dissertation investigates how wildfires impact people's migration decisions, the financial consequences of these disasters, and the impact of government aid in three chapters. The first chapter evaluates adaptive migration -- the movement from risky to safe areas -- as a potential adaptation strategy. Granular, address-level credit and migration data are combined with wildfire and risk measures to trace residents’ locations over time, before and after the fire. The empirical strategy leverages the quasi-random trajectory of the wildfire. The results indicate that people living in blocks that burned for the first time are 6.5 p.p. (18.5\%) more likely to remain away, even after four years. Although migration initially leads to safe tracts after two years, this effect vanishes by the fourth year. When focusing on financially unconstrained subgroups, people are statistically significantly more likely to be in safe areas, suggesting that financial constraints may prevent adaptive migration.The second chapter assesses how experiencing a megafire -- a fire that burns over 100,000 acres -- affects an individual's household finances and neighborhood decision. There is evidence of financial distress: credit scores fall and active debt collections rise. Moreover, the likelihood of having a mortgage drops by 5.3 points (19.7 percent) at two years and remains 3.0 points (10.6 percent) lower at four years. Examining the characteristics of their destinations, impacted individuals settle in areas with higher amenities, though they are also more expensive.The third chapter evaluates the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)’s Individuals and Households Program (IHP). Using political competitiveness as an instrument for aid receipt, I find that IHP increases migration by 33.0 p.p. yet does not improve migration to safe areas, unsurprising given its non-targeted design. Aid recipients experience substantially less financial distress and greater credit access, underscoring IHP’s role in alleviating immediate hardship even as it falls short of promoting adaptive migration. Together, these findings highlight financial barriers to climate-driven adaptation and suggest policy changes to align disaster relief with long-term resilience

Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
