This paper reviews and extends the recent empirical literature on the impact of climate change on mortality and … adaptation in the United States. The analysis produces several new facts. First, the reductions in the impact of extreme heat on … mortality risk previously documented up to 2004 have continued up to 2019, consistent with continued investments in health …

Further, the estimated mortality and energy impacts likely overstate the long-run impacts on these outcomes, since individuals … the presumably random year-to-year variation in temperature and two state of the art climate models, the analysis suggests …

Incorporating regional heterogeneity into these … less, of the burden. Incorporating adaptation yields mortality effects of climate change that are much lower than those …

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 …

mortality events and weather forecasts for a twelve-year period in the U.S. Results show that erroneously mild forecasts …We provide the first revealed preference estimates of the benefits of routine weather forecasts. The benefits come from … how people use advance information to reduce mortality from heat and cold. Theoretically, more accurate forecasts reduce …

We survey the microeconomics literature that studies how firms in the developing world are adapting to extreme weather … exposure. We discuss benchmarks for measuring adaptation progress at the firm, industry and macroeconomic level …

We estimate the effect of extreme weather on life expectancy in the US. Using high frequency mortality data, we find … that both extreme heat and extreme cold result in immediate increases in mortality. However, the increase in mortality … following extreme heat appears entirely driven by temporal displacement, while the increase in mortality following extreme cold …

Using weekly mortality data for London spanning 1866-1965, we analyze the changing relationship between temperature and …. The resulting change in the temperature-mortality relationship meant that thousands of heat-related deaths-equal to 0 … mortality as the city developed.
