ON T HE EMPIRICS OF FOREIGN A ID AND G ROWTH (2004, neutral): “The most obvious is that climate may matter directly for productivity, as it conceivably matters for how effective individual countries are in combining capital and labour to produce output; especially since many of the countries in the sample are reliant on agricultural production (Bloom and Sachs,”

Biogeography and long-run economic development (2000, neutral): “Among the factors believed to hamper agricultural productivity and development in the tropics are severe heat, discontinuous water supply and debilitating diseases (Landes, 1998), poor photosynthetic potential for annual plants (Bloom and Sachs, 1998), the absence of winter frosts that kill harmful ”

Water and economic development : The role of variability and a framework for resilience (2006, background): “Many other studies argue in favour of the significant impact of geography (Sachs, 2001; Masters and McMillan, 2001; Olsson and Hibbs, 2000; Mellinger et al. , 1999; Gallup et al. , 1998; Diamond, 1997).”
What Do We Learn from the Weather? The New Climate-Economy Literature (2014, neutral): “These findings have been further associated empirically with malarial prevalence and unproductive agricultural technologies (Sachs 2001; Sachs 2003), as well as the frequency of frost-days that may have beneficial agricultural and/or health effects (Masters and McMillan 2001).”
Educational Inequality under China's Rural–Urban Divide: The Hukou System and Return to Education (2010, background): “…factors (ie precipitation, temperature and altitude, distance to coastal areas) on economic activity and income (Collier, 2006; Gallup et al, 1998; Masters and McMillan, 2001) and China's huge economic disparity between western and nonwestern regions (Wang and Fan, 2004), the danger to this…”
The Economic Effects of Climate Change (2009, background): “…and temperature may suggest that people are poor because of the climate (Gallup, Sachs, and Mellinger, 1999; Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson, 2001; Masters and McMillan, 2001; van Kooten, 2004; Nordhaus, 2006), although others would argue that institutions are more important than geography…”
