There is limited public discourse and understanding about the history and science of weather and climate intervention …, though scientists have researched, tested and implemented numerous methods of weather modification for six decades. Also … change and associated increasing occurrence of extreme weather events, there has not been a more providential moment to …

I propose a new conceptual framework to disentangle the impacts of weather and climate on economic activity and growth …: A stochastic frontier model with climate in the production frontier and weather shocks as a source of inefficiency. I … test it on a sample of 160 countries over the period 1950-2014. Temperature and rainfall determine production possibilities …

We combine exogenous variation in temperature at the county-day level in the U.S. with daily time use data to examine … the effect of temperature on joint time use. We show that low temperatures reduce time spent with friends but increase … evidence of the effect of temperature on joint time use being location-dependent. We rationalize this finding using a model in …

Extreme weather events have significant adverse costs for individuals, firms, communities, regional, and national … emissions had changed the occurrence of specific extreme weather events, allows us to quantify the climate …-change-induced component of these costs. We use EEA to aggregate the global economic damage from extreme weather events that is attributable to …

The industrial sector is responsible for roughly one quarter of global greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions. To align sector pathway developments with overarching net-zero transition goals in different industries, governments are required to understand sectoral reduction potentials to efficiently...

We use a multilevel approach to characterize the relationship between weather shocks and (internal and international …) migration intentions. We combine individual survey data on migration intentions with measures of localized weather shocks for … the specification of weather anomalies that maximizes the goodness of fit of our empirical model. We then use this best …

We demonstrate that heat inhibits learning and that school air-conditioning mitigates this effect. Student fixed effects models using 10 million PSAT-retakers show hotter school days in years before the test reduce scores, with extreme heat being particularly damaging. Weekend and summer heat...

This paper studies the relationship between generalized trust, temperature fluctuations during the maize growing season … migration. On the one hand, countries with higher trust may exhibit higher adaptive capacity to temperature fluctuations and so … ambivalent effect of trust on migration. We find that for moderate temperature fluctuations, trust mitigates the impact of …
