Economic Impact of Climate Change

Miguel Ferreira, with Cláudia Custódio and Adrian Lam, both from the Imperial College Business School, and Emilia Garcia-Appendini, from the University of Zurich, won the EFIC2021 (5th EFIC Conference in Banking and Corporate Finance - Essex Business School) Best Paper Award with their paper Economic impact of climate change.

Abstract

We estimate the economic impact of climate change by exploiting variation in local temperature across suppliers of the same client. We find that suppliers experiencing a 1°C increase in average daily temperature decrease their sales by 2%. The effect is more pronounced among suppliers in manufacturing and heat-sensitive industries, which is consistent with lower labor productivity and supply when temperatures are higher. Financially constrained suppliers are more affected due to their lack of financial flexibility to adapt to changes in temperatures. We also find that episodes of extremely hot and cold weather lead to large drops in sales.
