  • Cattaneo and Peri (2016) show the presence of stricter liquidity constraints for poorer economies inhibiting migration as an adaptation strategy to climatic changes.

    “Their study shows the presence of stricter liquidity constraints for poorer economies inhibiting migration as an adaptation strategy to climatic changes.”

    From Improving the evidence base: A methodological review of the quantitative climate migration literature (2021) · cites this paper as Cattaneo and Peri (2016)

    Section 5.1 reports that higher temperatures reduce emigration in poor countries and says this can be due to worsening income and liquidity constraints. Section 3.2 models liquidity constraints as binding in poor, but not middle-income, countries. The claim overstates the evidence by saying the study shows the presence of those constraints, rather than identifying them as an explanation consistent with its findings. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
