DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nClimate Politics in the United States\n\n\nAbstract:\nWe investigate th
 e demand and supply drivers of climate politics in the United States of the
  last twenty years.  Using geocoded precinct-level electoral results, 
 we trace the effect of climate shocks and climate change-related job losses
 /gains on both voting across US congressional districts between 2000 and 20
 18 (the demand side) and the endogenous choice of climate positions by
  House candidates (the supply side). Using within-congressional district va
 riation, we identify a significant effect of unusually high temperature sho
 cks on votes and of losses of brown jobs in favor of Democratic candidates.
  We also find that both Democratic and Republican candidates respond to cli
 mate shocks shifting voters' demand by adjusting their environmental platfo
 rms towards pro-environment policy and that Democratic candidates also adju
 st based on their own personal beliefs shifting as a consequence of a local
  climate shock.  \n\n\n \n\n\n \n
