Open AccessReducing exposure to high levels of perfluorinated compounds in drinking water improves reproductive outcomes: evidence from an intervention in Minnesota
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been detected in drinking water supplies around the world and are the subject of intense regulatory debate. While they have been associated with several illness...

Heat in the Heartland: Crop Yield and Coverage Response to Climate Change Along the Mississippi River
Farmers may adapt to climate change by substituting away from the crops most severely affected. In this paper we estimate the substitution caused by a moderate change in climate in the US Midwest. We pair a 10...

Linking local impacts to changes in climate: a guide to attribution
Assessing past impacts of observed climate change on natural, human and managed systems requires detailed knowledge about the effects of both climatic and other drivers of change, and their respective interac...

Specification and estimation of the transfer function in dendroclimatological reconstructions
We identify two issues with the reverse regression approach as implemented in several classic reconstructions of past climate fluctuations from dendroclimatologcical data series. First, instead of estimating t...

It’s not just the statistical model. A comment on Seo (2013)
A recent paper in this journal argues that the choice of statistical model is responsible for the divergence in damage estimates of climate change on US agriculture. We provide five arguments why we believe th...

Open AccessThe challenge to detect and attribute effects of climate change on human and natural systems
Anthropogenic climate change has triggered impacts on natural and human systems world-wide, yet the formal scientific method of detection and attribution has been only insufficiently described. Detection and a...

Loss and damage attribution
If research on attribution of extreme weather events is to inform emerging climate change policies, it needs to diagnose all of the components of risk.
