How do improvements in predictions affect our investment in loss prevention? Glad to share my article in @informs.bsky.social journal Decision Analysis that examines this question. Open-access SSRN link: papers.ssrn.com/abstract=417... Journal link: pubsonline.informs.org/doi/full/10....

🌾How does extreme heat change diets of farming families in rural India? 🔥A new #JAERE study finds that when growing-season temperatures spike, crop yields drop and this drives strong undernutrition for many households, especially calories, zinc, thiamine, and niacin. 📊 #JaereFigureFriday 🌎 #EconSky
Six coefficient plots of the effect of temperature on the percentage of households consuming below
80% of the recommended levels of different nutrients. The x-axis contains 10◦F temperature bins from below 70◦F to above 110◦F. The nutrient in Panel A is protein, and no coefficients are statistically significant. The outcome in Panel B is iron, and only the coefficients for the 80 to 90◦F bin (0.14) and the 90 to 100◦F bin (0.16) are statistically significant. The nutrient in Panel C is zinc, and statistically significant coefficients range from 0.16 for the 80 to 90◦F bin to 0.25 for the above 110◦F bin. The nutrient in Panel D is thiamine, and statistically significant coefficients range from 0.13 for the 70 to 80◦F bin to 0.32 for the above 110◦F bin. The nutrient in Panel E is niacin, and statistically significant coefficients range from 0.13 for the 70 to 80◦F bin to 0.41 for the above 110◦F bin. The nutrient in Panel F is riboflavin, and no coefficients are statistically significant.

An insightful discussion of my paper by @mattkahn1966.bsky.social Thank you for highlighting the work. The post raises interesting questions on how tech innovations (e.g., remote work, autonomous cars) might interact with these traditional adaptation measures (e.g., weather advisories).

More timely than expected: Check out my latest Economic Letter showing extreme weather events cause uncertainty for affected firms that lasts several months. We focus on hurricanes but find similar effects after other extreme weather events. #EconSky #ExtremeWeather www.frbsf.org/economic-res...
