Building societal resilience to climate change depends on increased adaptation. In this
Review of scholarship on behavioural adaptation, we find that most empirical studies focus …

This article reviews the recent literature on the economics of exposure to temperature
extremes. There is growing evidence from both micro and macro studies that in the short run …

We demonstrate that heat inhibits learning and that school air conditioning may mitigate this
effect. Student fixed effects models using 10 million students who retook the PSATs show …

This study investigates the environmental impacts of using two different power groups in a
fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The first power group consists of a conventional …

This paper investigates how households adopt and use air conditioning to adapt to climate
change and increasingly high temperatures, which pose a threat to the health of vulnerable …

Environmental issues are of fundamental importance, and a broad approach to
understanding the relationship of the human economy and the natural world is essential. In …

Despite the prevalence of high-stakes assessments—and the growing likelihood of heat
exposure during such assessments—the effect of temperature on performance has not yet …

Using data covering the universe of injury claims from the nation's largest worker's
compensation system (2001-2018), we explore the relationship between temperature and …

This article reviews the economic and analytical challenges of adaptation to climate change.
Adaptation to climate risks that can no longer be avoided is an important aspect of the global …

We estimate how the mortality effects of temperature vary across US climate regions to
assess local and national damages from projected climate change. Using 22 years of …
