We use theory and empirics to distinguish between the impact of temperature on transition (temporary) and steady-state (permanent) growth in output per capita. Standard economic theory suggests that the long-run growth rate of output per capita is determined entirely by the growth rate of total factor productivity (TFP). We find evidence suggesting that the level of temperature affects the level of TFP, but not the growth rate of TFP. This implies that a change in temperature will have a temporary impact on growth in output per capita. To highlight the quantitative importance of distinguishing between permanent and temporary changes in economic growth, we use our empirical estimates and theoretical framework to project the impacts of future increases in temperature caused by climate change. We find losses that are substantial, but smaller than those in the existing empirical literature that assumes a change in temperature permanently affects economic growth. JEL Classification Codes 044 * Q54, 1 Introduction Understanding the relationship between temperature and economic output is critical for designing climate change mitigation and adaptation policies. Our paper theoretically and empirically differentiates between two approaches to [...]
