A growing literature estimates the macroeconomic effect of weather using variations in annual country-level averages of … frequency or higher spatial resolution. To address this issue, we rely on global daily weather measurements with a 30-km spatial … resolution from 1979 to 2019 and construct 164 weather variables and their lags. We select a parsimonious subset of relevant …

Combining granular daily data on temperatures across the continental U.S. with detailed establishment data from 1990 to 2015, we study the causal impact of temperature shocks on establishment sales and productivity. Using a large sample yielding precise estimates, we find no evidence that...

Using a difference in differences framework, I show that California households exposed to a severe heat wave are differentially more likely to adopt central air conditioning units than those less exposed, controlling for historical climate. Using these “induced adopters” to predict take-up,...
