Abstract
In this paper we study the effects of climate change in India, measured by temperature shocks, on political outcomes, such as voter turnout, candidate selection and voting outcomes. We find that high temperatures reduce agricultural productivity, increase voter turnout, reduce the number of candidates, and change both candidate and winner characteristics.
High temperatures reduce agricultural incomes in India (Guiteras 2009), and climate change has been projected to reduce farm incomes by 20-25% in un-irrigated areas by the end of the 21st century (Government if India Economic Survey 2017). Hot days also seem to increase mortality (Burgess et al 2017), an effect that seems driven by reduction in agricultural productivity and wages. Farmers may respond in order to mitigate these effects by changing the input mix, or migrating… (Aragon et al 2021, Colmer 2020, Gargantuas et al 2020), but both voters and politicians my react to these shocks by changing their decisions.
