Energy supply shortage,temperature and labor productivity
This paper investigates the relationship between power supply shortage,temperature and enterprise productivity by using the World Bank enterprise survey data from 2011 to 2020 and the global urban weather data.The research finds that:first,power supply shortage will aggravate the negative impact of temperature on enterprise productivity,that is,power supply shortage has a negative aggravating effect.Second,the negative aggravating effect of power supply shortage is stronger in low productivity enterprises,high labor-intensive enterprises and private enterprises,which indirectly proves that the underlying mechanism of the aggravating effect is consistent with the theory of adaptation to climate change,and provides a possible micro explanation for typical facts such as the widening gap between rich and poor countries caused by climate change.
