DESCRIPTION:*Do women and men adjust their labor supply differently in resp
 onse to short-term changes in precipitation and temperature? To explore thi
 s question\, I focus on the urban context of Colombia\, where heavy precipi
 tation and heat waves are becoming more frequent due to climate change. Usi
 ng monthly household survey data combined with daily weather information fr
 om climate reanalysis\, I examine key factors that may drive gender differe
 nces in labor responses\, including employment in climate-exposed industrie
 s\, outdoor work\, self-employment flexibility\, and family constraints. Mo
 st importantly\, I aim to shed light on how intrahousehold dynamics—such 
 as a partner’s employment status and the weather-exposure risks of their 
 occupation—affect individuals' labor decisions under extreme weather cond
 itions in urban settings.**For developing countries\, protecting the intell
 ectual property (IP) of critical technology represents a clear economic tra
 deoff. On one hand\, IP protection can induce the entry of new technologies
  and facilitate the transfer of technology from abroad. On the other hand\,
  it can raise prices and distort input choices for firms downstream. I empi
 rically evaluate this tradeoff between innovation and access in the context
  of a reform that introduced patent protection for seed varieties in Tanzan
 ia. I assemble a dataset combining information on registered seed varieties
 \, plant breeders\, and variety characteristics from government catalogues\
 , along with extensive plot-level data on agricultural inputs and outputs f
 rom a panel of farms. This enables me to estimate the impact of patent-indu
 ced innovation in seed varieties on patterns of input acquisition\, harvest
  revenues\, and agricultural productivity. To produce credible estimates\, 
 I rely on a shift-share design that leverages temporal variation in the ent
 ry of new seed varieties and spatial variation in crop suitability. Prelimi
 nary results suggest that exposure to new seed varieties\, on average\, led
  households to shift from informal to commercial seed sources and boosted r
 evenues from crop sales and crop output per hectare of land.\\n\\nContact:
