Empirical studies of the economic effects of climate change (CC) largely rely on climate anomalies for causal identification purposes. Slow and permanent changes in climate-driven geographical conditions, i.e. CC as defined by the IPCC (2013), have been studied relatively less, especially in...

In this paper, we estimate the effect of temperature on the economic activity of Mexico using 42 years of quarterly panel data on economic growth at the state level. Our findings reveal a concave relationship between quarterly economic growth and quarterly average temperature that is maximized...

We find … that stochastic technology growth hardly affects the optimal bundle of mitigation and adaptation whereas uncertainty about … composition of the optimal mix as both persuade the risk-averse social planner to invest more in mitigation. Overall, we identify …

This paper documents that seasonal temperatures have significant and systematic effects on the U.S. economy, both at the aggregate level and across a wide crosssection of economic sectors. This effect is particularly strong for the summer: an increase of 1êF in the average summer temperature is...

Earlier meta-analyses of the economic impact of climate change are updated with more data, with three new results: (1) The central estimate of the economic impact of global warming is always negative. (2) The confidence interval about the estimates is much wider. (3) Elicitation methods are most...

The optimal transition to a low-carbon economy must account for adjustment costs in switching from dirty to clean capital, technological progress, and economic and climatic shocks. We study the low-carbon transition using a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with emissions abatement...
