Hi everyone,
I thought you all might be interested in new research by Sol Hsiang, a PhD student in Columbia’s Sustainable Development PhD program, exploring the effect of increased temperatures on productivity.

Abstract:
Economic output across a range of industries previous thought of as “not vulnerable to climate change” respond strongly to changes in temperature. The data suggest that the response is driven by the direct human response to high temperatures: people generally are less productive and tire faster when it’s hot. This impact, which appears to be quite large, has not been factored into any previous estimates for the global cost of climate change.
