Abstract

The work studies the relationship between relative inequality and the size of international bilateral migration flows in a north-north international migration context. The data used regroups bilateral migrations flows from the years 2000 to 2015 of all European OECD member states. The literature reports an inverted U-shaped relationship between relative inequality and migration. However the few studies carried out are done in a south-north international migration context. A host of gravity models are run, with as covariates cultural, geographic, economic and demographic factors alongside the variable of interest relative inequality. The results report no clear association between the relative inequality and bilateral international migration. The estimates of the covariates are found to be by and large in keeping with estimates in the literature.

Abstract

Transition towards a low-carbon energy mix and adoption of electromobility are important challenges in the decarbonisation of the transport sector. In this final thesis, we analyse the impact of monetary incentives introduced by national governments in order to foster the development of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). With panel data techniques, we find a positive and significant relationship between monetary incentives and BEVs' sales. When taken separately, the most effective monetary incentive seems to be the purchase premium. It also appears that the charging infrastructure has a positive impact on the development of an electric fleet. However, this impact becomes insignificant when the sample is reduced to the last four years or to western countries, which are in a more advanced stage regarding the charging network and BEV adoption.
