“…Recent literature explains the relationship between climate change and the labour market through the relationship between REW consumption and unemployment or employment. The studies are generally based on input-output and scenario analysis (Böhringer, Keller, and van der Werf, 2012;Böhringer, Rivers, Rutherford, and Wigle, 2013;Bulavskaya and Reynès, 2018;Cai et al, 2011;Cai, Mu, Wang, and Chen, 2014;Dvořák, Martinát, Van der Horst, Frantál and Turečková, 2017;Hondo and Moriizumi, 2017;Kolsuz and Yeldan, 2017;Küster, Ellersdorfer, and Fahl, 2007;Mu, Cai, Evans, Wang, and Roland-Holst, 2018;Oliveira, Cassidy, and Coelho, 2014;Simas and Pacca, 2014;Wei, Patadia, and Kammen, 2010); time series and panel data analysis methods (Agpak and Ozcicek, 2018;Apergis and Salim, 2015;Bekmez and Agpak, 2016;Dincer and Karakus, 2020;Henriques et al, 2016;Markandya, Arto, González-Eguino, and Román, 2016;Proença and Fortes, 2020;Rafiq, Salim, and Sgro, 2018;Saboori, Gholipour, Rasoulinezhad, and Ranjbar, 2022;Tatli and Barak, 2019;Telli, Voyvoda, and Yeldan, 2008; Yilanci, Islamoglu, Yildirimalp, and Candan, 2020; Zhao and Luo, 2017).
