Does weather affect local economic growth? Evidence from the world’s most natural disaster-prone country
Using novel nighttime lights and high-resolution atmospheric reanalysis, this paper exploits exogenous fluctuations in temperature and precipitation to identify the causal effects of weather disturbances on local economic growth in the Philippines – the world’s most disaster-prone country. Our findings reveal that heightened temperature variability significantly dampens growth, but only in poor municipalities. This effect persists for at least 2 …
Spatial Income Inequality, Convergence, and Regional Development in a Lower Middle‐Income Country
This paper examines spatial income inequality and convergence in the Philippines—a lower middle‐income country with historically high inequality—and its course over the process of economic development. Combining higher quality nighttime lights (NTLs) with gridded population data, I construct subnational measures of spatial inequality for the 17 administrative regions in the country in the period 2000–2020. Using this unique dataset, I first docum…
