Simon Says: Climate change to impact local economy?

As economists, we always have our annual meeting over the first weekend of the year, because who else wants to go to a conference at that time? We get great deals on hotel rooms ($115 per night!).

He and a colleague analyzed the long-run

The first example that comes to mind, is the flooding of October 1990, when more than a foot of rain fell in two days, including 8
