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 …

However, averages may not reveal the effects of extreme events that occur at a higher time … variables is much higher than what was previously implied by using annual temperature and precipitation averages. We also find …A growing literature estimates the macroeconomic effect of weather using variations in annual country-level averages of …

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 …

With mounting evidence that climate is warming, we show that such warming will have substantial impacts on … 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 …

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

Slow onset climate change has the potential to cause significant migration flows. Scientists have recently made … failed to come to a clear conclusion as many studies found no significant effects of climate, while others did. In this paper …
