Cooking is a basic necessary need to survive, but around 2.8 billion people globally do not have access to modern technology. To do so they have to cook with unsustainable and unreliable means of energy such as biomass and kerosene in small, unprepared kitchens. As a result, those who cook tend to develop respiratory illnesses. Who pays the price? Mostly women and children. As they spend more time indoors, they suffer worst health outcomes and therefore get sick more frequently than men. However, this can be improved by switching to clean energy.

Junior Researcher Iván Kim tells us about the paper Trade Relationships, Bargaining and Export Dynamics, in which he is co-author with NCID Resident Fellow Mirko Abbritti and collaborator Tommaso Trani.
In the data, emerging market economies’ exports tend to grow after real devaluations, but even when these are large, the rise in export revenues is low and delayed. We examine this fact by in- troducing long-term trade relationships and bargaining into a standard small open economy model. Both domestic e...
Junior Researcher Iván Kim tells us about the paper The Ocean and Early-Childhood Mortality, in which he is co-author with Non-Resident Fellow Alex Armand.
Fish stocks have decreased substantially over the last decades due to human exploitation of the ocean. This declining trend has been exacerbated by climate change, with acidifying waters harming marine life. This paper exploits exogenous variation in water acidity across time and space to study how the ocean impacts early-childhood mortality. We collat...
