, 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 … temperature shocks. We find that equilibrium adjustments reduce the economic costs by around 20 percent, but significant costs …
