The Economic Impacts of Climate Change (2018, background): “Bloom, Canning, and Sevilla (2003) find that hot and wet conditions and large variability in rainfall reduce long-term growth in poor countries (but not in hot ones) and increase the probability of being poor.”
Can natural disasters have positive consequences? Investigating the role of embodied technical change (2009, unknown): “It is well known that climate is a important driver of economic growth in some countries, especially from the developing world where agriculture constitutes a signiﬁcant sector of the economy (e.g., Bloom et al., 2003).”
Did Botswana Escape from the Resource Curse? (2006, background): “Bloom, Canning and Sevilla (2003) indeed finds that the proximity of land to the coast has a”
A multilevel analysis of innovation in developing countries (2008, background): “Also variety of other non-technological factors related to geography, climate, disease ecology, natural disasters or even ethnic fractionalization have been shown to matter a lot (Masters, MacMillan, 2001; Easterly and Levine, 2001; Bloom, et al., 2003; Sachs, et al., 2004), particularly at the ea”
Poverty Traps, Aid, and Growth (2005, unknown): “This finding is supported by a recent paper by Bloom et al. (2003) which provides evidence that, after controlling for countries' geographic characteristics, the evolution of income across countries is consistent with a bimodal ergodic distribution.”
Growth in a Cross-section of Cities: Location, Increasing Returns or Random Growth? (2015, unknown): “pioneering studies concerned with the impact of locational fundamentals is Bloom et al. (2003). These authors are interested in modelling the presence of nonlinearities in percapita income growth from country-level data using a model that incorporates climatological and geographical variables.”
Do all countries follow the same growth process? (2009, methodology): “Like Bloom et al., we also explore the role of geography in determining the class or regime to which a country belongs, but we find no evidence that geographic features such as latitude or being landlocked sort countries into growth regimes once the models include the quality of institutions. Paap e”
Well-Being Dynamics and Poverty Traps (2016, background): “While they find that geography plays a role in the growth of the low-income countries, Bloom et al. (2003) reject an argument of simple geographic determinism.”
Innovation and Economic Development (2009, background): “Capability building may also be influenced by long-run factors related to the history of the country (Acemoglu, et al. 2001, 2002), its geography or nature (Gallup et al. 1999, Masters and MacMillan 2001, Bloom et al. 2003, Alesina et al. 2003, Sachs et al. 2004).”
Rich Nations, Poor Nations: How Much Can Multiple Equilibria Explain? (2001, unknown): “a∗ = β + αγ s 1−s [α+ β − γ(1 + λ)] 3 1 + αγ s 1−s ́ [α+ β + λ− γ(1 + λ)] , (9)”
A spatially filtered mixture of β-convergence regressions for EU regions, 1980–2002 (2008, methodology): “Previous attempts to apply mixture densities, or mixture regressions, to convergence analysis are found in the works of Paap and Van Djik (1998), Tsionas (2000), and Bloom et al. (2003) .”
Ending Africa's Poverty Trap (2004, background): “Two recent empirical studies claiming that such poverty traps exist in very poor countries are UNCTAD (2002) and Bloom, Canning, and Sevilla (2003).”
