What we know and don't know about climate change, and implications for policy

Pindyck, Robert S. - 2020 - This draft: May 11, 2020

There is a lot we know about climate change, but there is also a lot we don't know. Even if we knew how much CO2 will be emitted over the coming decades, we wouldn't know how much temperatures will rise as a result. And even if we could predict the extent of warming that will occur, we can say...

The impact of climate change on agriculture : nonlinear effects and aggregation bias in Ricardian models of farm land values

Fezzi, Carlo; Bateman, Ian - 2013

Ricardian (hedonic) analyses of the impact of climate change on farmland values typically assume additively separable effects of temperature and precipitation. Model estimation is implemented on data aggregated across counties or large regions. We investigate the potential bias induced by such...

Estimating Macro-Fiscal Effects of Climate Shocks from Billions of Geospatial Weather Observations

Akyapi, Berkay; Bellon, Matthieu; Massetti, Emanuele - 2022

A growing literature estimates the macroeconomic effect of weather using variations in annual country-level averages of … frequency or higher spatial resolution. To address this issue, we rely on global daily weather measurements with a 30-km spatial … resolution from 1979 to 2019 and construct 164 weather variables and their lags. We select a parsimonious subset of relevant …

Extreme weather and risk preference : panel evidence from Germany

Kahsay, Goytom Abraha; Osberghaus, Daniel - 2016

Individual risk preference may change after experiencing external socio-economic or natural shocks. Theoretical predictions and empirical studies suggest that risk taking may increase or decrease after experiencing shocks. So far the empirical evidence is sparse, especially when it comes to...

Adaptation to Temperature Extremes in Chinese Agriculture, 1981 to 2010

Wang, Di; Zhang, Peng; Chen, Shuai - 2021

Temporal evolution of extreme temperature effects on agriculture is important for understanding adaptation to climate change but has not been sufficiently studied. This study examines the time-varying impacts of extreme temperatures on Chinese agriculture over 1981 to 2010. We estimate a...

Semiparametric Trending Panel Data Models with Cross-Sectional Dependence

Gao, Jiti; Chen, Jia; Li, Degui - 2010

A semiparametric fixed effects model is introduced to describe the nonlinear trending phenomenon in panel data analysis and it allows for the cross-sectional dependence in both the regressors and the residuals. A semiparametric profile likelihood approach based on the first-stage local linear...
