We examine how the adverse impacts of weather shocks are distributed through the trade network. Exploiting a rich …, theoretically derived, fixed effects structure, we find significant negative short-run effects of high temperature on exports. A … month with an average temperature above 30 °C implies export losses of around three percent. These effects are increasing in …

This paper contributes to insurance risk management by modeling extreme climate risk and extreme mortality risk in an … integrated manner via extreme value theory (EVT). We conduct an empirical study using monthly temperature and death data in the U ….S., and nd that the joint extremes in cold weather and old-age death counts exhibit the strongest level of dependence. Based …

temperature and precipitation fluctuations to investigate whether changes in temperature and precipitation are associated with …Climate change researchers predict a dramatic increase in global average temperature over the next decades. We use past … precipitation on economic growth in 105 countries for the time period 1991-2009. …

unique fine-scale weather data set that incorporates the whole distribution of temperatures between the minimum and maximum …-linear and asymmetric relationship between temperature and yields. Yields increase in temperature until about 29C for corn and …
