Is temperature adversely related to economic growth? : evidence on the short-run and the long-run links from sub-national data
Meierrieks, Daniel; Stadelmann, David - 2021
We investigate the effect of rising temperatures on economic development, using sub-national data for approximately 1,500 sub-national regions in 81 countries from the 1950s to the 2010s. Accounting for region- and time-fixed factors by means of a two-way fixed effects panel approach, we find no...
