Impact of Climate Change on Regional Economy

Abstract:

This study has carried out the economic impact of output by industry in Beijing, making meteorological factors as a productivity input with capital, and labor. It has showed that the industry Output is combined with precipitation and temperature. For example, whenever the temperature increased by 1%, the primary industry output will be increased by about 2.99% and whenever the precipitation increased by 1%, the tertiary industry output will be increased by about 0.10%. The climate change has different effect on the secondary industry and the tertiary industry, both of which are more serious than the primary industry in Beijing.
