The effects of climate policies on socioeconomic outcomes are intensively discussed both in academia and politics. Transformation of the economy needs to be balanced with various socio-economic goals. For example, the European Commission explicitly addresses in its European Green Deal that the transformation of the economy has to follow a ‘just and inclusive’ transition. The literature on the employment effects of environmental policies tends to find aggregated effects of climate policy to be small , yet highly heterogeneous along various dimensions. Both regional and gendered heterogeneity in response to climate policy are currently rarely analyzed. Related literature, however, indicates both theoretically and empirically that labor market outcomes in response to climate policies might be heterogeneous in these dimensions. Heterogeneity may arisue both due to distinct exposure to climate policy shocks as well as distinct adaptation. The research project aims to empirically explore these effects for a broad sample of European regions, in order to identify the existence, direction and magnitude of these heterogeneities in climate policy effects. The regional dimension allows to focus on general equilibrium impacts, to identify regionally heterogeneous effects, and to circumvent potential degrees-of-freedom problems. The project aims to contribute to the following questions empirically: What are the effects of climate policy on male and female employment? Do regional heterogeneities exist and which factors cause them? Which role does sectoral and geographical reallocation play? Are there distinct effects on different labor market indicators?

在学术界和政治中都深入讨论了气候政策对社会经济成果的影响。经济的转变必须与各种社会经济目标平衡。例如，欧洲委员会在其欧洲绿色协议中明确解决了经济的转变必须遵循“公正和包容”的过渡。关于环境政策的就业影响的文献倾向于发现气候政策的综合作用在各个方面很小但高度异质。目前很少分析针对气候政策的区域和性别异质性。但是，相关文献既表明理论上和经验上都表明，在这些方面，劳动力市场对气候政策的响应可能是异质的。异质性可能是由于明显的气候政策冲击以及明显的适应性而出现的。研究项目旨在从欧洲地区的广泛样本中探索这些影响，以确定气候政策影响中这些异质性的存在，方向和幅度。区域维度可以专注于一般的等效影响，以识别区域异质效应，并规避潜在的自由度问题。该项目旨在从经验上为以下问题做出贡献：气候政策对男性和女性就业有什么影响？区域异质性是否存在以及哪些因素导致它们？部门和地理重新分配扮演哪个角色？对不同的劳动力市场指标有明显的影响吗？
