Effect of climate and geography on worldwide fine resolution economic activity

connected to adverse severe weather conditions, may lead to [national] incomes decline [37]. Clearly more research would be needed to firmly establish a link between meteorological varia- tions and economic productivity–this is mainly limited by the samples currently available Fig 7. Scatter plots and quadratic fit of the top ten predictors with GCP-PC. Diagrams showing the distribution (scatter) of the top predictors (x-axis) for the all-grid-point case versus GCP-PC (y-axis). The red line is the quadratic fit, as given by the equation y = a + b x + c x2, with the corresponding parameters (a, b, c) indicated in each panel. As a reference, the grey line indicates the average GCP-PC (cf. Fig 2). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0229243.g007 PLOS ONE Effect of geography on fine resolution economy PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0229243 March 2, 2020 15 / 20
