This chapter reviews the empirical literature on the impacts of temperature and climate change on human pregnancies … year-to-year fluctuation in temperature. The insights that emerge from the review highlight that exposure to heat in the …, understanding the relationship between temperature and pregnancy-related outcomes is far from perfect. Importantly, the potential …

We combine exogenous variation in temperature at the county-day level in the U.S. with daily time use data to examine … the effect of temperature on joint time use. We show that low temperatures reduce time spent with friends but increase … evidence of the effect of temperature on joint time use being location-dependent. We rationalize this finding using a model in …

occurred in children under five years old. Changes in climatic exposure such as temperature and precipitation makes malaria one …, we estimate that the global optimal temperature maximizing all-age malaria mortality is 20.6, lower than previously … predicted in the literature. While in the case of child mortality, a significantly lower optimum temperature of 19.3° is …

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 …
