I propose a new conceptual framework to disentangle the impacts of weather and climate on economic activity and growth …: A stochastic frontier model with climate in the production frontier and weather shocks as a source of inefficiency. I … variability. The climate effect is larger that the weather effect …

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 … temperature and precipitation. However, averages may not reveal the effects of extreme events that occur at a higher time … frequency or higher spatial resolution. To address this issue, we rely on global daily weather measurements with a 30-km spatial …

We estimate the impact of temperatures on work-related accident rates in Italy by using daily data on weather … relies on the plausible exogeneity of short-term daily temperature variations in a given spatial unit. We find that both high … weather conditions on work-related accident rates is larger for men, in manufacturing and service sectors, and for workplace …

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 …

We estimate the impact of temperature extremes on mortality in Vietnam, using daily data on temperatures and monthly …

Very few studies have examined the impacts of both climate change and air pollution on student education outcomes …, particularly in a developing country setting. Analyzing a rich database consisting of household and school surveys, test scores …, and temperature and air pollution data over the past decade for Viet Nam, we find that a 1 μg/m3 increase in PM2 …
