While there is a growing literature on the impact of climate and weather-related events on migration, little is known … response to weather shocks. We find that Fonden decreases migration in response to heavy rainfall, hurricanes and droughts …

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 …

This paper estimates the impact of climate change on the prevalence of criminal activity in the United States. The … analysis is based on a 50-year panel of monthly crime and weather data for 2,972 U.S. counties. I identify the effect of … weather on monthly crime by using a semi-parametric bin estimator and controlling for county-by-month and county-by-year fixed …

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 …

The latest generation of global climate models robustly projects that the summer monsoon rainfall in India will … estimate the relationship between weather indices (amount of seasonal rainfall, number of wet days, average temperature) and … predict district-specific crop yield based on the climate projections of eight different climate models of the Coupled Model …

We estimate the short-run effects of severe weather shocks on local economic activity and assess cross …-border spillovers operating through economic linkages between U.S. states. We measure weather shocks using a detailed county … weather shocks hitting individual regions. We also show that (i) taking into account economic interconnections between states …

extreme weather events, in particular, droughts and high temperatures, for the German power sector. Furthermore, we consider …The effects of extreme weather events, such as heat waves and droughts are taken into account in both global and … droughts and high temperatures. We investigate increases in the wholesale electricity price and price volatility and develop a …
