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?

学术界和政治界都深入讨论了气候政策对社会经济成果的影响。经济转型需要与各种社会经济目标相平衡。例如，欧盟委员会在其《欧洲绿色协议》中明确指出，经济转型。经济必须遵循“公正和包容”的转型。有关环境政策对就业影响的文献往往发现，气候政策的总体影响很小，但在各个层面上，气候政策的反应却存在高度异质性。目前很少分析。然而，文献从理论上和经验上都表明，由于气候政策冲击的不同暴露以及不同的适应，劳动力市场对气候政策的反应可能会出现异质性。这些影响针对欧洲地区的广泛样本，以确定气候政策影响中这些异质性的存在、方向和程度。区域维度允许关注一般均衡影响，识别区域异质性影响，并规避潜在的影响。该项目旨在从实证角度解决以下问题：气候政策对男性和女性就业有何影响？区域异质性是否存在？部门和地理重新分配发挥了哪些作用？不同的劳动力市场指标是否有不同的影响？
