Abhishek Mohanty (@IITKanpur ) constructs a novel India-specific climate risk index using news data & textual analysis, then use local projections to trace its dynamic effects on inflation.

[Society for Economics Research in India @SERI_Network]

The discussant Prof. Aranya Chakraborty @aranyacecon (@AhdUniv ) summarised the findings, but raised doubts on the causal claim of the climate risk index. He suggested better interpretation as to what the index represents, and separation oftransitional and physical risks.
