   Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistik

   Författare :Cecilia Smitt Meyer; [2020-02-18]
   Nyckelord :Under-five mortality; Difference-in-difference; Malaria; Malawi;

   Sammanfattning : Malaria continues to impose a high burden on the Malawian population, in particular on children under the age of five, accounting for about 20 percent of all deaths among under-fives in 2000. In an effort to curb these numbers, the Malawian government launched a new Malaria Strategic Plan in 2005, aimed at reducing malaria morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER

7. 5. Vulnerabilities in a Wetter World : A study on migration as an adaptation strategy to climate change, with under-five mortality as an intermediating variable.

   Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Författare :Wanja Kaufmann; [2019]
   Nyckelord :Climate change; precipitation; under-five-mortality; migration; panel data; climate refugees; vulnerabilities; climate change adaptation;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis strives to examine firstly if migration is a significant adaptation strategy to the experience of abundant precipitation, and secondly whether under-five mortality works attenuating or enhancing when being an intermediating factor. With cross-country panel data for precipitation and migration percentage for 169 countries over the world for the time period 1950-2005, a fixed effect model has been created for both parts of the analysis — in the first one to estimate the effects of abundant precipitation on migration flows, and in the second one to examine if and how the mortality rates of children under the age of five works as driver on the effect between abundant precipitation and migration.
