I also want to thank my amazing co-authors. We learned a lot writing this paper. Every iteration made it better, & I truly enjoyed every single one of our meetings & brainstorming sessions. We are more motivated than ever to keep working on these important topics for the region!.

This paper greatly benefited from seminar discussions & from the thoughtful suggestions of two anonymous referees & our editor, Lucas Davis. It was a rewarding & intellectually engaging process. The feedback helped us strengthen the evidence we present on this important topic.

Understanding these dynamics is key for increasing the resilience of countries to extreme weather events.

These findings go beyond El Salvador. Approx. 30 million farms in low-income countries operate under similar conditions: high climate risk, limited formal insurance, & access to remittances.

Migrant networks matter. The migration response is strongest in areas with more established U.S. networks, which help lower the cost of migration and make it a viable option.

• Reduced use of production inputs.• Decline in demand for non-household labor.• Increased reliance on international migration.One additional week of extreme heat raises migration among corn-producing households by 0.15 percentage points—a 23% increase relative to the mean.

We start by showing that extreme temperatures during the main growing season reduce corn yields by 3% and hired labor by 3.6%. So how do agricultural producers respond to these shocks?. We find multiple responses:.

In this paper, we study how extreme temperatures affect international migration in El Salvador—a country with strong U.S. migration networks and a population heavily reliant on remittances and subsistence agriculture.

I am excited to share that our paper “Responses to Extreme Temperatures: Migrant Networks and International Migration from El Salvador” with @anamibanez, @juliana_quigua1 and @jimena_rp has been conditionally accepted at the AEJ: Economic Policy! #econtwitter.
