Maladaptation by Displacement: Spatial Spillovers of Adaptation Finance in Sub-Saharan Africa

Pierre Beaucoral · Florian Weiler

Ongoing work with Florian Weiler (Central European University) on the spatial dimension of adaptation finance in Sub-Saharan Africa: how geocoded adaptation projects relate to outcomes in the areas around them. The project combines machine-classified adaptation finance with a place-based empirical design. Preliminary — full results to come; presented at the CERDI seminar in June 2026.

Preliminary work in progress — full paper and results coming soon.
