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 … in both rich and poor countries; positively in cold countries and negatively in hot ones. Weather anomalies reduce …

average treatment effects and strong spatial spillovers, particularly for weather shocks. Moreover, substantial heterogeneity …

affects local spillovers in case of a weather shock. Second, we use road infrastructure as a proxy for overall connectivity to …Extreme weather may give rise to the relocation of economic activity towards nearby locations. But how are the economic … effects of weather events transmitted between locations? And, which role does the interconnection of small economic units play …

We study the relationship between housing inequality and crime in South Africa. We create a novel panel dataset …. An increase of one standard deviation in housing inequality explains between 9 and 13 percent of crime increases … conditions can play in the reduction of crime in an emerging economy context. …

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 …

The effects of extreme weather events, such as heat waves and droughts, are taken into account in both global and … emerging risks of extreme weather events, in particular, droughts and high temperatures, for the German power sector. Our … extreme weather events will aggravate the observed problem, especially with respect to the transition of the power sector. …
