Hence, while green stimulus packages are useful to reorient the economy and direct it onto a green trajectory in the longer run, they are less effective in restarting the economy quickly.

The evidence suggests that ‘green’ growth is likely to be more labor intensive than growth sustained by traditional fossil fuels.

Figure 1 Year-by-year effects of green ARRA on total employment. Such packages are thought to both restart the economy as well as help it transition to a cleaner, more sustainable path (e.g. 0000016372 00000 n
The urgency and importance of climate-change mitigation and the slow development of low-carbon and other environmental policies up until now, together with the relative labor intensity of at least some green investment, suggest that there will be many investments that have both environmental and labor-market pay-offs. We analyse how local US labour markets benefited from green and non-green ARRA funding and carefully address endogeneity issues that may arise in the distribution of spending. Wilson, D J (2012), “Fiscal spending jobs multipliers: Evidence from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act”, American Economic Journal: Economic Policy 4(3): 251-82. Wilson 2012, Garin 2019). Energy efficiency improvements also appear to be labor intensive, drawing heavily on relatively unskilled labor in the construction sector.

Covid-19 Energy Environment Labour markets, Tags: For instance, investments in green R&D are not a useful policy tool to boost job growth immediately, but transport electrification, recycling equipment and power sector infrastructures may have a faster while still only middle-term impact. Carbon pricing mechanisms create demand for new clean technologies, such as electric vehicles powered in part by a charging infrastructure developed using green stimulus funds. Green stimulus programs may have larger environmental benefits when complemented with carbon pricing policies, such as carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems. 0000003911 00000 n
Topics: While green ARRA investments had a large positive effect on job creation, there is little evidence of significant employment gains in the short-run. Most research so far has focused on direct employment created, with more cursory treatment of indirect and induced jobs creation, especially that arising from macroeconomic effects of policies. 514 31
The labor-market challenges for countries that currently have a comparative advantage in fossil-fuel production, particularly those that have built their industrial development strategies around cheap carbon-based energy, are daunting, given the structural changes that will be needed. 2018). Focusing on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act after the Global Crisis, it finds that that the green stimulus was particularly effective in creating jobs in the long run, but not in the short run. The Covid-19 crisis may trigger long-term structural transformations in the economy that are largely unpredictable now. Part of these revenues can also be returned to households as direct lump-sum transfers, which can help mitigate the impact of the economic crisis, especially for low-income households (Goulder et al. December 2013; International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education 15(1) DOI: 10.1108/IJSHE.24915aaa.005.
