Roson, RobertoSartori, Martina2016-07-072016-07-072016-06https://hdl.handle.net/10986/24643Climate change damage (or, more correctly, impact) functions relate variations in temperature (or other climate variables) to economic impacts in various dimensions, and are at the basis of quantitative modeling exercises for the assessment of climate change policies. This document provides a summary of results from a series of meta-analyses aimed at estimating parameters for six specific damage functions, referring to: sea level rise, agricultural productivity, heat effects on labor productivity, human health, tourism flows, and households' energy demand. All parameters of the damage functions are estimated for each of the 140 countries and regions in the Global Trade Analysis Project 9 data set. To illustrate the salient characteristics of the estimates, the change in real gross domestic product is approximated for the different effects, in all regions, corresponding to an increase in average temperature of +3°C. After considering the overall impact, the paper highlights which factor is the most significant one in each country, and elaborates on the distributional consequences of climate change.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOSUMMER TEMPERATURESECONOMIC EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGELOCAL TEMPERATUREIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGETEMPERATURE VARIATIONSTEMPERATURECARBON DIOXIDEECONOMIC IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEAIR QUALITYRELATIVE HUMIDITYTEMPERATURE LEVELSCARBONCLIMATE CHANGE STRATEGIESMETEOROLOGYWINDEMISSIONSGLOBAL MEAN SURFACE TEMPERATURESEASONAL TEMPERATUREATMOSPHEREGASCLIMATE SCENARIOSHUMIDITYCONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGETEMPORAL SCALESURFACE TEMPERATURE CHANGEEFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGEAIRREGIONAL TEMPERATURECLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ASSESSMENTTEMPERATURE INCREASEHIGH TEMPERATURERADIATIONANNUAL PRECIPITATIONCO2CLIMATE MITIGATION POLICIESECONOMIC IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGEASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE IMPACTSWARMING CLIMATEIMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGEGHGSTRATEGIES FOR CLIMATE CHANGEAIR CONDITIONINGGLOBAL WARMINGOIL PRODUCTSCLIMATE VARIABLESSEA LEVEL RISEECONOMIC IMPACTS OF CLIMATEIMPLEMENTATION OF CLIMATE MITIGATIONSURFACE TEMPERATURECLIMATE MODELGLACIERSTROPICAL REGIONSTEMPERATURE RISESIMPACTS OF TEMPERATUREENERGY POLICYPRECIPITATIONUNEPASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGEGREENHOUSE GASESIMPACT OF CLIMATETEMPERATURE CHANGEGLOBAL AVERAGE TEMPERATUREEMISSIONGREENHOUSECLIMATE CHANGE ECONOMICSWINTER TEMPERATURESAVERAGE RELATIVE HUMIDITYCLIMATE CHANGEIPCCDROUGHTSCIENCEGLOBAL CLIMATECLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGEELECTRICITYCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSEXTREME EVENTSCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGE ASSESSMENTCLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONINCREASE IN TEMPERATURECLIMATE RESPONSEFERTILIZATIONSEASONCLIMATE MITIGATIONGLOBAL TEMPERATUREGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGECOSTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEAIR TEMPERATURECLIMATIC CHANGESCIENTISTSABSOLUTE HUMIDITYWET BULB TEMPERATUREEFFECT OF TEMPERATURECLIMATE IMPACTSTEMPERATURESABSOLUTE TEMPERATUREHOUSEHOLD ENERGYCLIMATE CHANGE POLICIESTEMPERATURE CHANGESCLIMATE CHANGE DAMAGEMETEOROLOGICAL DATAGASESCLIMATE PROBLEMCARBON EMISSIONECONOMICS OF CLIMATE CHANGEPRICESBENEFITSNEGATIVE IMPACTSENERGYWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-7728
