Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of weather conditions (i.e., temperatures or sunspot) to study financial markets and real economy are increasing (Bassi, Colacito and Fulghieri, 2013). Specifically, in the finance literature, weather conditions have been used to examine returns and volatilities of financial market (Kaplanski et al., 2013). In addition, weather conditions have many unique features, which contribute to a market generating sentiments in the business communities (Ho, 2015). The study of weather conditions has emerged both for academics and practitioners’ practice, which becomes one of the main areas of empirical financial research, as well as financial risk management. Thus, the primary goal of this Special Issue will be to highlight weather conditions as an empirical setting for understanding financial and economics phenomena and will highlight weather’s unique influence on human behavior. Topics in this Special Issue can include, but are not limited to, the effect of temperature, global warming, sunspots, sunlight, natural disasters, and other factors related to nature.
