This study explores the link between daily weather conditions and individual engagement in physical activities within … the context of the climate emergency. Using ATUS data from 2003-2022, alongside detailed daily-county weather data, the … physical activity across varying weather conditions amid the ongoing climate emergency. …

This paper reviews and extends the recent empirical literature on the impact of climate change on mortality and adaptation in the United States. The analysis produces several new facts. First, the reductions in the impact of extreme heat on mortality risk previously documented up to 2004 have...

Dynamic adjustments could be a useful strategy for mitigating the costs of acute environmental shocks when timing is not a strictly binding constraint. To investigate whether such adjustments could apply to fertility, we estimate the effects of temperature shocks on birth rates in the United...

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 …

To estimate the economic effects of weather variability in the United States, the authors define and measure weather … sensitivity as the variability in economic output that is attributable to weather variability, accounting for changes in … technology and changes in levels of economic inputs (i.e., capital, labor, and energy). Using 24 yr of economic data and weather …

We use plant-level data from the US Census of Manufacturers to study the short and long run effects of temperature on manufacturing activity. We document that temperature shocks significantly increase energy costs and lower the productivity of small manufacturing plants, while large plants are...

Climate change is a multidimensional shift. While much research has documented rising mean temperature levels, we also examine range-based measures of daily temperature volatility. Specifically, using data for select U.S. cities over the past half-century, we compare the evolving time series...
