Abstract:
This paper uses municipality level data to estimate the general relationships
between climate, income and child mortality in Mexico. Climate was found to
play only a very minor role in explaining the large differences in income
levels and child mortality rates observed in Mexico. This implies that Mexico
is considerably less vulnerable to expected future climate change than other
countries in Latin America.
