Heat and Learning

Goodman, Joshua S.; Hurwitz, Michael; Park, Jisung; … - 2018

We provide the first evidence that cumulative heat exposure inhibits cognitive skill development and that school air conditioning can mitigate this effect. Student fixed effects models using 10 million PSAT-takers show that hotter school days in the year prior to the test reduce learning, with...
