We estimate the short-run effects of severe weather shocks on local economic activity and assess cross …-border spillovers operating through economic linkages between U.S. states. We measure weather shocks using a detailed county … weather shocks hitting individual regions. We also show that (i) taking into account economic interconnections between states …

This study investigates the effect of climate shocks on olive oil production in Palestine, a region acutely vulnerable to both environmental change and political instability. We estimate the influences of temperature and rainfall fluctuations on four key outcomes: the olive-to-oil yield ratio,...
