This paper reviews and extends the recent empirical literature on the impact of climate change on mortality and … mortality risk previously documented up to 2004 have continued up to 2019, consistent with continued investments in health …

Increased temperature-related mortality is predicted to be one of the largest contributors to future economic damages … the effect of temperature on mortality differs substantially from its effect on ED visits: mortality increases under …-related deaths in others. Changes in temperature could also affect non-fatal health outcomes, whose aggregate societal burden is …

temperature leads to a 12% decline in world GDP. Global temperature shocks correlate much more strongly with extreme climatic …. We exploit natural variability in global temperature and rely on time-series variation. A 1°C increase in global … events than the country-level temperature shocks commonly used in the panel literature, explaining why our estimate is …

Climate change is generating demonstrable harm around the world. Political and legal efforts have sought to associate …

We use plant-level data from the US Census of Manufacturers to study the short and long run effects of temperature on … manufacturing activity. We document that temperature shocks significantly increase energy costs and lower the productivity of small …

Climate change increases weather variability, exacerbating agricultural risk in poor countries. Risk-averse farmers are …

Key methodologies used for managing weather risks have relied on the assumption that climate is not changing and that … the historic weather record is therefore representative of current risks. Anthropogenic climate change upends this … distribution, with associated costs for weather risk management and risk-averse decision-makers. These costs result purely from the …

We survey the microeconomics literature that studies how firms in the developing world are adapting to extreme weather …
