A new index for climate-induced migration uncertainty

A new index for climate-induced migration uncertainty has been developed by one of our fellows, Afees Salisu, in collaboration with Sulaiman Salisu.

The index utilized a range of international newspapers with a global readership. They also developed sub-indices by providing distinct datasets for climate-induced uncertainty and migration-induced uncertainty. Some empirical results were presented to validate the depressing effect of the uncertainty indices on per-capita GDP growth at global, regional, and country-specific levels.
