Climate change will increase the risk of temperature extremes. Induced innovation could offset some of this threat. This paper explores the demand and supply for climate adaptation innovation in a market economy. Climate change induces this innovation because the rising temperatures increase...

This paper employs a stochastic frontier approach to examine how climate change and extreme weather affect U ….S. agricultural productivity using 1940-1970 historical weather data (mean and variation) as the norm. We have four major findings …. Fourth, we project potential impacts of climate change and extreme weather on U.S. regional productivity based on the …

We investigate the long-run effects of cooling on conflict. We construct a geo-referenced and digitized database of conflicts in Europe, North Africa, and the Near East from 1400-1900, which we merge with historical temperature data. We show that cooling is associated with increased conflict....
