Input data for the scripts that replicate the results of Krichene et al. 2023.

To run the scripts, the following files from this repository need to be placed in the ./data/input/ subdirectory of the project folder containing the scripts:

  • GMT.nc: Global mean temperature time series as used by the tropical cyclone emulator.
  • GrowthClimateDataset.dta: The input data of Burke et al. 2015.
  • IHME_GLOBAL_GDP_ESTIMATES_1950_2015.csv: Historical GDP per capita data from James et al. 2012 (downloaded from IHME).
  • mean_temperature_gswp3-w5e5.csv: Population-weighted average national temperature time series for the historical period.
  • pulse_response_ricke_caldeira_2014.csv: The global mean temperature response of an additional emission pulse according to Ricke & Caldeira 2014.
  • tcdata/TCE-DAT_historic-exposure_1950-2015.csv and tcdata/TotalPopulation.csv: Historical (national) numbers of people affected by tropical cyclones according to TCE-DAT with the corresponding total population counts.
  • tcdata/emulator/: Projected (national) shares of people affected by tropical cyclones according to the tropical cyclone emulator as computed by the scripts in the corresponding repository.
  • wid_all_data.zip: A bulk data set from the World Inequality Database.

For more information, see Krichene et al. 2023 and the README file provided with the scripts.
