Risk, Cooperation and the Economic origins of social Trust: an empirical Investigation (2009, neutral): “…various aspects of human activity including agricultural productivity (Adams et al., 1990; Mendelsohn et al., 1994; Schlenker et al., 2005), health (Curriero et al., 2002; Deschenes and Moretti, 2007; Gallup and Sachs, 2001) and conflict (Miguel et al., 2004).3 Most contributions have looked at…”
Heat-related and cold-related deaths in England and Wales: who is at risk? (2006, background): “59 60 In contrast with studies from the US, 22 23 25 26 we observed no modification of the heat effect by deprivation.”
Valuing the Global Mortality Consequences of Climate Change Accounting for Adaptation Costs and Benefits (2019, neutral): “Consistent with prior literature (Heutel, Miller, and Molitor, 2017; Curriero et al., 2002; Gasparrini et al., 2015), we find that these minimum mortality temperatures are highly correlated both with both long-run average temperature (positively) and with income (negatively).”
What Do We Learn from the Weather? The New Climate-Economy Literature (2014, positive): “Curriero et al. (2002), in a study of eleven eastern cities in the United States using daily data, find higher mortality on very cold days and very hot days, with the negative impacts of hot days primarily occurring in northern cities.”
Effects of cold weather on mortality: results from 15 European cities within the PHEWE project. (2008, background): “(6) reported a qualitatively similar relation between weather and mortality in the same age groups found in the present study.”
Weather-Related Mortality (2009, background): “The relationship seems to vary by region, with an 11-city study identifying higher heat effects in the northeast with lower or negligible effects in the southeast.(6) Several studies have indicated variation in effects by race, education level, population density, and air conditioning (AC).”
