Abstract: This study examines the effect of climate on citywide labour productivity in the Accra city region. We use data from Ghana's Integrated Business and Establishment Survey dataset, climate data at the sub-city level from Ghana Meteorological Agency, and satellite and reanalysis data, as well as key informant interviews with representatives of enterprises and city authorities and officials of the National Disaster Mobilization Agency, for this exercise.
