  1. This table shows OLS estimation results of a panel of 54 countries from 1994m1 to 2018m12. \(\Delta\)EMBI are monthly natural log returns of a country’s EMBI index. HistoricalTempAnomaly is the difference between monthly temperature of a country and its 1901–1950 temperature average of the same month. DeviationAdjustedTempAnomaly is the anomaly measure divided by a country’s 1901–1950 average of temperature standard deviation. GDP per capita (1–4) and rule of law (2–4) are used as interaction variables. Standard errors (in parentheses) are clustered at the country level and control for heteroscedasticity and serial correlation, ***, ** and * indicate statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% level, respectively.
