Heatwaves, coldwaves, floods, and droughts : the short-term impact of extreme weather events on economic activity

Andersson, Malin; Battistini, Niccolò; Bobasu, Alina - 2026

This paper examines the short-term macroeconomic and sectoral effects of extreme weather events in Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. We construct novel indicators of extreme temperature and precipitation based on percentile thresholds of long-run historical distributions and estimate their...

Beat the heat, the role of heat waves and droughts in regional EU economies

Spiteri, Sarah; Lebouteiller, Léonore; … - 2026

Europe is increasingly exposed to heat waves and droughts, but their short-term economic effects across sectors remain hard to predict. This study develops climate-augmented models to predict real growth in per capita value added across 1,117 EU regions (2002-2022), by combining economic...
