DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p><em><strong>Climate Politics in the United States</strong></em></p><p>Ab
 stract:</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We investigate the demand and su
 pply drivers of climate politics in the United States of the last twenty ye
 ars.&nbsp; Using geocoded precinct-level electoral results, we trace the ef
 fect of climate shocks and climate change-related job losses/gains on both 
 voting across US congressional districts between 2000 and 2018 (the demand 
 side) and the endogenous choice of climate&nbsp;positions by House candidat
 es (the supply side). Using within-congressional district variation, we ide
 ntify a significant effect of unusually high temperature shocks on votes an
 d of losses of brown jobs in favor of Democratic candidates. We also find t
 hat both Democratic and Republican candidates respond to climate shocks shi
 fting voters' demand by adjusting their environmental platforms towards pro
 -environment policy and that Democratic candidates also adjust based on the
 ir own personal beliefs shifting as a consequence of a local climate shock.
