The Long-Lived Effects of Historic Climate on the Wealth of Nations
Bluedorn, John; Valentinyi, Akos; Vlassopoulos, Michael - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2009
We investigate the long-run consequences of historic, climatic temperatures (1730-2000) for the modern cross-country income distribution. Using a newly constructed dataset of climatic temperatures stretching over three centuries (18th, 19th, and 20th), we estimate a robust and significant...
