Demand, supply, and restraint: Determinants of domestic water conflict and cooperation (2014, positive): “Democracies are superior providers of public goods and more likely to have stronger environmental policies to the extent that they cooperate in ﬁnding joint solutions to environmental problems (e.g., Payne, 1995; Lake and Baum, 2001; Neumayer, 2002; Ba¨ttig and Bernauer, 2009).”
Human drivers of national greenhouse-gas emissions (2012, neutral): “Empirical studies found that democratic nations are more likely to participate in climate treaties and related agreements, but systematic investigation found that forms of governance are generally not significant predictors of greenhouse-gas emissions, net of other factors 22,52,68–70 .”
Drivers of national climate policy (2013, background): “…2009), and other comparative work has attempted to measure climate policy by combining various indicators (e.g. emissions, targets, policy) into some type of composite index (e.g. Bättig & Bernauer, 2009; Bernauer & Böhmelt, 2013; Burek, Bals, & Bohnenberger, 2011; Saul & Seidel, 2011).”
Mapping the Trade and Environment Nexus: Insights from a New Data Set (2018, background): “In most countries, a large portion of the population believes that the benefits from environmental protection outweigh the costs (e.g., Bättig and Bernauer 2009).”
The limits of democracy in tackling climate change (2018, background): “Empirical evidence almost uniformly points to the positive effects of democracy on environmental outcomes (e.g. Gleditsch and Sverdrup 2003, Li and Reuveny 2006, Bättig and Bernauer 2009, Bernauer and Koubi 2009, Arvin and Lew 2011), apart from few exceptions (Midlarsky 1998).”
Coding Error or Statistical Embellishment? The Political Economy of Reporting Climate Aid (2011, neutral): “The recent paper by Bättig and Bernauer (2009) is closely related to our study in that the authors also look at a “words-deeds” gaps in international climate policy. Their results suggest that democratic countries experience larger gaps than nondemocratic ones. Our focus, however, is on aid to devel”
Public opinion and environmental policy output: a cross-national analysis of energy policies in Europe (2017, background): “According to this work, democracies are more likely to commit to environmental policies than non-democracies (Bättig and Bernauer 2009, Neumayer 2002, Fiorino 2011, Schaffer and Bernauer 2014).”
