To what extent can long-differencing capture climate adaptation? UC Davis, United States of America Social scientists increasingly use comparisons between long-difference and panel fixed effects estimators to measure climate adaptation. Despite their empirical relevance, there is no formal framework to assess to what extent these comparisons are valid. We demonstrate two limitations with this empirical strategy for quantifying climate adaptation. First, standard implementations of these estimators yield biased estimates of both long-run and short-run population parameters. Second, the direction of this bias may substantially underestimate adaptation. We illustrate these limitations by examining the finite-sample performance of both estimators in an empirically-calibrated simulation design and provide best-practice recommendations on how to implement the long-differencing approach. | |
