Climatic Factors as Determinants of International Migration (2015, unknown): “Furthermore, Dell et al (2009) show that similar rises in temperature result in reductions in per capita GDP both across and within countries and within states while their theoretical model predicts that approximately half of these reductions in income may be mitigated by ’adapting’ to the…”
The Impact of Weather Anomalies on Migration in sub-Saharan Africa (2012, methodology): “For example, weather variables are known to affect GDP per capita as shown in Barrios et al. (2010) and Dell et al. (2009).”
Long-Term Macroeconomic Effects of Climate Change (2019, unknown): “5 This is contrary to most of the literature which finds that temperature increases have uneven macroeconomic effects, with adverse consequences in countries with hot climates, such as low-income countries; see, for instance, Sachs and Warner (1997), Jones and Olken (2010), Dell et al. (2012), Inter”
Climate Change, Firm Performance, and Investor Surprises (2019, unknown): “…high importance of labor as an input in many industries, some studies find that the negative economic relation between heat and output persists not only across but also within countries, with a documented decrease of 1.2 to 1.9% in municipal income per additional degree Celsius [Dell et al., 2009].”
Adaptation to climate change in Sub-Saharan agriculture: assessing the evidence and rethinking the drivers (2014, background): “…focused on economic outcomes such as land values, income and growth (e.g., Mendelsohn et al., 1994; Deschenes and Greenstone, 2007, 2011; Dell et al., 2009, 2012; Schlenker and Roberts, 2009; Graff-Zivin and Neidell, 2010; Hsiang, 2010; Fischer et al., 2012; Graff-Zivin, Hsiang and…”
What Do We Learn from the Weather? The New Climate-Economy Literature (2014, unknown): “2), Dell et al. further find that over 10–15 year time scales, temperature shocks have similar effects to annual shocks, although statistical precision decreases. Variation in mean precipitation levels is not found to affect the path of per capita income. Temperature shocks appear to have little eff”
Extreme Weather and Civil War: Does Drought Fuel Conflict in Somalia through Livestock Price Shocks? (2014, result): “…indicators perform better at predicting conflict incidence and socio-economic outcomes is consistent with previous studies (e.g., Burke et al. 2009; Dell, Jones, and Olken 2009; Marchiori, Maystadt, and Schumacher 2012), as well as a stronger It should be noted that this indicator is a crude proxy…”
