We investigate the impact of short-term weather and long-term climate on self-reported life satisfaction using panel … data. We find robust evidence that day-to-day weather variation impacts life satisfaction by a similar magnitude to … present evidence that weather bias arises because of the cognitive challenge of reporting life satisfaction. Consistent with …

Do people move as a result of temperature shocks? Documenting weather as a push factor for migration is crucial for … informing policy related to climate change and adaptation. This paper studies the impacts of high temperature days on out …-term temperature variations that are commonly leveraged in the literature. We provide evidence consistent with the idea that the effect …

Methane abatement and geoengineering have a short-lived effect on temperature compared with carbon abatement. Different … optimal tax paths for these actions arise in a cost-benefit framework with an unknown temperature threshold where severe and … irreversible climate impacts, called a tipping point, occurs. Tax paths are compared with a cost-minimising approach where an upper-temperature …

We examine the impact of extreme weather events on the cost of an audit. We measure impact as the number of days per … year a firm experiences an extreme weather event of any type (e.g., drought, floods, storms, wildfires) in its metropolitan … statistical area (MSA). We first find that auditors charge significantly higher fees for firms exposed to more extreme weather …
