Temperature anomalies, long memory, and aggregation
Vera-Valdés, J. Eduardo - In: Econometrics : open access journal 9 (2021) 1/9, pp. 1-22
Econometric studies for global heating have typically used regional or global temperature averages to study its long memory properties. One typical explanation behind the long memory properties of temperature averages is cross-sectional aggregation. Nonetheless, formal analysis regarding the...

Burden of climate change on malaria mortality
Dasgupta, Shouro - 2017
In 2015, an estimated 429,000 deaths and 212 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide, while 70% of the deaths occurred in children under five years old. Changes in climatic exposure such as temperature and precipitation makes malaria one of the most climate sensitive outcomes. Using a global...

Raising awareness of climate change : nature, activists, politicians?
Grechyna, Daryna - 2024
This paper evaluates the relative importance of natural and human factors in shaping public awareness of climate change. I compare the predictive efficacy of natural factors, represented by air temperature deviations from historical norms, and human factors, encompassing noteworthy political...

Temperature, climate change, and human conception rates : evidence from Hungary
Hajdu, Tamás; Hajdu, Gábor - 2020
In this paper, we examine the relationship between temperature and human conception rates and project the impacts of climate change by the mid-twenty-first century. Using complete administrative data on 6.8 million pregnancies between 1980 and 2015 in Hungary, we show that exposure to hot...

Feeling the heat : extreme temperatures and price stability
Faccia, Donata; Parker, Miles; Stracca, Livio - 2021
We contribute to the debate surrounding central banks and climate change by investigating how extreme temperatures affect medium-term inflation, the primary objective of monetary policy. Using panel local projections for 48 advanced and emerging market economies (EMEs), we study the impact of...

Climate change, cold waves, heat waves, and mortality : evidence from a lower middle-income country
Cuong Viet Nguyen; Nguyen, Manh-Hung; Toan Truong Nguyen - 2022
We estimate the impact of temperature extremes on mortality in Vietnam, using daily data on temperatures and monthly data on mortality during the 2000-2018 period. We find that both cold and heat waves cause higher mortality, particularly among older people. This effect on mortality tends to be...
