Carbon‐Neutral Pathways for the United States (2021, background): “…prices have made decarbonizing the U.S. economy increasingly affordable on its own terms, without counting the economic bene ﬁ ts of avoided climate change and air pollution (Garcia ‐ Menendez et al., 2015; Hsiang et al., 2017; Nemet et al., 2010; West et al., 2013; Risky Business Project, 2016).”

Three green financial policies to address climate risks (2021, background): “Relevantly, there is ample and robust evidence that climate change affects both labor and capital inputs (Dell et al., 2009; Hsiang et al., 2017).”
Moist Heat Stress on a Hotter Earth (2020, background): “…al. 2015, Schleussner et al. 2016, Mora et al. 2017a, Randell & Gray 2019), both now and in the future (Jendritzky & Tinz 2009, Sherwood & Huber 2010, Field et al. 2012, Seneviratne et al. 2012, Dunne et al. 2013, Houser et al. 2015, Hsiang & Sobel 2016, Kjellstrom et al. 2016, Hsiang et al. 2017).”
On the Economics of a Carbon Tax for the United States (2019, unknown): “Hsiang et al. (2017) construct detailed estimates of the damages from climate change in the United States at the county level and find that the combined market and non‐market damages for a one degree C increase in temperature is on the order of 1.”
The impact of climate conditions on economic production. Evidence from a global panel of regions (2020, background): “In particular, years of life lost are not considered in our analysis which have been found to constitute the major share of the costs of global warming in the United States (Hsiang et al., 2017).”
Valuing the Global Mortality Consequences of Climate Change Accounting for Adaptation Costs and Benefits (2019, unknown): “To construct damage functions, we then fit a conditional expectation function through these outcomes, following the approach in Hsiang et al. (2017). We interpret each projection of Dirmt as a potential realization of damages that result from the spatial distribution of warming in model m, condition”
