. Using within-county variation in weather, we estimate the effect of daily temperature on annual income in United States …. These estimates are net of many forms of adaptation, such as factor reallocation, defensive investments, transfers, and … adaptation measures have been limited. The non-linearity of the effect on different components of income suggest that temperature …
