The effects of extreme weather events, such as heat waves and droughts are taken into account in both global and … extreme weather events, in particular, droughts and high temperatures, for the German power sector. Furthermore, we consider … droughts. We stress that increasing frequencies of such extreme weather events will aggravate the observed problem, especially …

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 …
