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 …

effect of prenatal temperature exposure on birth sex by linking data on 5 million births in 33 sub-Saharan African countries … and India with high-resolution temperature data. We find that days with a maximum temperature above 20°C reduce male … births in both regions. In sub-Saharan Africa, we observe fewer male births after high first trimester temperature exposure …

many ways. Since sleep is a basic human need and part of everyone's life, the question of how temperature affects human … sleep naturally arises. This paper examines the effect of daily mean temperature on sleep duration using nationally … representative Hungarian time use surveys between 1976 and 2010. Compared to a mild temperature (5-10 °C), colder temperatures do not …

the extent that climate projections are less than optimistic, understanding how individuals respond to extreme weather … extreme weather conditions is that of personal travel, including commuting, an activity that is done daily by millions of … workers worldwide. Within this framework, we estimate the effects of weather conditions on daily commuting and travel choices …

decades and relying on plausibly exogenous variation in weather, we estimate how extreme temperatures affect time use in China …

effects of temperature shocks on birth rates in the United States between 1931 and 2010. Our innovative approach allows for … fertility cost of temperature shocks by shifting conception month. This dynamic adjustment helps explain the observed decline in … on our analysis of historical changes in the temperature-fertility relationship, we conclude air conditioning could be …

We analyze the impact of in utero temperature exposure on the birth weight and prevalence of low birth weight using … additional hot day (mean temperature >25êC) during the gestation period reduces birth weight by 0.5 grams. The second and third … trimesters appear to be slightly more sensitive to temperature exposure than the first trimester. We project that climate change …
