description: We present a scalar triplet extension of the standard model to unify the origin of inflation with neutrino mass, asymmetric dark matter and leptogenesis. In presence of non-minimal couplings to gravity the scalar triplet, mixed with the standard model Higgs, plays the role of inflaton in the early Universe, while its decay to SM Higgs, lepton and dark matter simultaneously generate an asymmetry in the visible and dark matter sectors. On the other hand, in the low energy effective theory the induced vacuum expectation value of the triplet gives sub-eV Majorana masses to active neutrinos. We investigate the model parameter space leading to successful inflation as well as the observed dark matter to baryon abundance. Assuming the standard model like Higgs mass to be at 125-126 GeV, we found that the mass scale of the scalar triplet to be ~ O(10^9) GeV and its trilinear coupling to doublet Higgs is ~ 0.09 so that it not only evades the possibility of having a metastable vacuum in the standard model, but also lead to a rich phenomenological consequences as stated above. Moreover, we found that the scalar triplet inflation strongly constrains the quartic couplings, while allowing for a wide range of Yukawa couplings which generate the CP asymmetries in the visible and dark matter sectors.

description: Quantum annealing method has been widely attracted attention in statistical physics and information science since it is expected to be a powerful method to obtain the best solution of optimization problem as well as simulated annealing. The quantum annealing method was incubated in quantum statistical physics. This is an alternative method of the simulated annealing which is well-adopted for many optimization problems. In the simulated annealing, we obtain a solution of optimization problem by decreasing temperature (thermal fluctuation) gradually. In the quantum annealing, in contrast, we decrease quantum field (quantum fluctuation) gradually and obtain a solution. In this paper we review how to implement quantum annealing and show some quantum fluctuation effects in frustrated Ising spin systems.

Machine learning for robust detection of differential features in chromatin conformation maps
Creators: name: Al-Jibury, Ediem
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: The principles underlying the spatial organisation of the genome are key to understanding cell type specific gene transcription. Genome-wide chromosome conformation capture methods such as Hi-C and Micro-C produce vast quantities of data which can be noisy and difficult to interrogate. As a result the analysis has so far been limited to pre-defined features curated by manual inspection. Here, we present a newly identified feature from quiescent T-cell chromatin conformation maps, called the chromatin jet. We demonstrate that this feature is mediated by the action of the cohesin protein complex and limited by the CTCF boundary element, in line with the loop extrusion model. We utilise chromatin jets to dissect the properties of cohesin-mediated loop extrusion, demonstrating that cohesin may continue to extrude loops unidirectionally upon an encounter with CTCF. Motivated by the discovery of this new feature, we formulate a deep learning approach based on contrastive learning which we term Twins. Using a Siamese convolutional neural network, we are able to distinguish technical noise from biological variation and outperform naive image similarity metrics across a range of biological systems. Downstream we apply our Twins network to perform simple feature extraction from Hi-C maps after perturbation of cohesin and CTCF. Using this approach we find that Twins networks are able to learn biologically meaningful information which is robust to various common sources of noise. Following the success of the Twins protocol, we apply a Siamese network to a mouse T-cell differentiation system. In this context, Twins identifies enhancer activity as a major driver of 3D genome organisation. Taken together these findings advance our understanding of chromatin conformation and its role in gene regulation. Further, they provide a foundation on which new methods for the analysis of chromatin conformation capture data can be constructed.

description: Ecological theory predicts close relationships between macroclimate and functional traits. Yet, global climatic gradients correlate only weakly with the trait composition of local plant communities, suggesting that important factors have been ignored. Here, we investigate the consistency of climate-trait relationships for plant communities in European habitats. Assuming that local factors are better accounted for in more narrowly defined habitats, we assigned > 300,000 vegetation plots to hierarchically classified habitats and modelled the effects of climate on the community-weighted means of four key functional traits using generalized additive models. We found that the predictive power of climate increased from broadly to narrowly defined habitats for specific leaf area and root length, but not for plant height and seed mass. Although macroclimate generally predicted the distribution of all traits, its effects varied, with habitat-specificity increasing toward more narrowly defined habitats. We conclude that macroclimate is an important determinant of terrestrial plant communities, but future predictions of climatic effects must consider how habitats are defined.
Thermodynamic anomaly of the free damped quantum particle: the bath perspective

description: A possible definition of the specific heat of open quantum systems is based on the reduced partition function of the system. For a free damped quantum particle, it has been found that under certain conditions, this specific heat can become negative at low temperatures. In contrast to the conventional approaches focusing on the system degree of freedom, here we concentrate on the changes induced in the environment when the system is coupled to it. Our analysis is carried out for an Ohmic environment consisting of harmonic oscillators and allows to identify the mechanism by which the specific heat becomes negative. Furthermore, the formal condition for the occurrence of a negative specific heat is given a physical interpretation in terms of the total mass of bath oscillators and the system mass.

description: Although species are being lost at alarming rates, previous research has provided conflicting results on the extent and even direction of global biodiversity change at the local scale. Here, we assessed the ability to detect global biodiversity trends using local species richness and how it is affected by the number of monitoring sites, sampling interval (i.e. time between original survey and re-survey of the site), measurement error (error of the measurement of the local species richness), spatial grain of monitoring (a proxy for the taxa mobility) and spatial sampling biases (i.e. site-selection biases). We use PREDICTS model-based estimates as a proxy for the real-world distribution of biodiversity and randomly selected monitoring sites to calculate local species richness trends. We found that while a monitoring network with hundreds of sites could detect global change in species richness within a 30-year period, the number of sites for detecting trends doubled for a decade, increased 10-fold within three years and yearly trends were undetectable. Measurement errors had a non-linear effect on statistical power, with a 1% error reducing statistical power by a slight margin and a 5% error drastically reducing the power to reliably detect any trend. The ability to detect global change in local species richness was also related to spatial grain, making it harder to detect trends for sites sampled at smaller plot sizes. Spatial sampling biases not only reduced the ability to detect negative global biodiversity trends but sometimes yielded positive trends. We conclude that detecting accurate global biodiversity trends using local richness may simply be unfeasible with current approaches. We suggest that monitoring a representative network of sites implemented at the national level, combined with models accounting for errors and biases, can help improve our understanding of global biodiversity change.

Finite groups of low essential dimension
Creators: name: Duncan, Alexander Rhys
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Informally, essential dimension is the minimal number of parameters required to define an algebraic object. This invariant has numerous connections to Galois cohomology, linear algebraic groups and birational geometry. In particular, the essential dimension of finite groups has connections to the Noether problem, inverse Galois theory and the simplification of polynomials via Tschirnhaus transformations. This thesis studies finite groups of low essential dimension using methods from birational geometry. Specifically, the main results are a classification of finite groups of essential dimension 2, and a proof that the alternating and symmetric groups on 7 letters have essential dimension 4.
Knowledge sharing in cooperative research and development

description: This article examines the effects of knowledge sharing or endogenous spillovers among R&D consortia participants on R&D competition when R&D enhances a firm's absorptive capacity. A game-theoretic model illustrates how different compositions of R&D consortia affect spillovers and R&D spending of participants. When a firm participates in a consortium whose members are from diverse industries, the model suggests that this participation increases spillover rates among participants and intensifies firms' R&D efforts to learn from other members in the consortium. An econometric analysis based on the panel data of 267 Japanese firms over 13 years shows evidence of this learning effect.

description: We study an extension of the Higgs sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), considering the effects of new degrees of freedom at the TeV scale, and allowing for sources of CP violation beyond the MSSM (BMSSM). We analyze the impact of the BMSSM sources of CP violation on the Higgs collider phenomenology and on low energy flavor and CP violating observables. We identify distinct Higgs collider signatures that cannot be realized, either in the case without CP violating phases or in the CP violating MSSM, and investigate the prospects to probe them at the Tevatron and the LHC. The most striking benchmark scenario has three neutral Higgs bosons that all decay dominantly into W boson pairs and that are well within the reach of the 7 TeV LHC run. On the other hand, we also present scenarios with three Higgs bosons that have masses M_Hi > 150 GeV and decay dominantly into b bbar. Such scenarios are much more challenging to probe and can even lie completely outside the reach of the 7 TeV LHC run. We explore complementary scenarios with standard MSSM Higgs signals that allow to accommodate a sizable B_s mixing phase as indicated by D0, as well as the excess in B_s --> mu+ mu- candidates recently reported by CDF. We find that, in contrast to the MSSM, a minimal flavor violating soft sector is sufficient to generate significant corrections to CP violating observables in meson mixing, compatible with EDM constraints. In particular, a sizable B_s mixing phase, S_psiphi < 0.4, can be achieved for specific regions of parameter space. Such a large B_s mixing phase would unambiguously imply a sizable suppression of S_psiKs with respect to the SM prediction and a BR(B_s --> mu+ mu-) close to the 95% C.L. upper bound reported by CDF.

description: Community Choice is a very important household decision since it represents an investment in community attributes that can have a significant impact on the quality of life of all household members, particularly influencing the future prospects of children. In this paper, 1990 census data are used to rank communities in Los Angeles County. We study the community choice of new migrants and find that controlling for income, black and Hispanic households consume significantly less in community attributes. Potential explanations for this gap are explored.

Bones and tracks at Wally's Beach Site (DhPg8): an investigation of the latest Pleistocene mega-fauna of southern Alberta

description: Wally's Beach (DhPg-8) is a latest Pleistocene palaeontological/archaeological site in southern Alberta, Canada. A ten metre water level drop of the St. Mary Reservoir exposed the reservoir floor to intense wind erosion, exposing a diverse assemblage of mammal bones, tracks, trackways, tramplegrounds, and Palaeo-Indian artifacts. This site provides a rare look at the latest Pleistocene mega-fauna of southern Alberta. Pleistocene tracks are rare worldwide, and Wally's Beach documents the only Canadian locality. Six new ichnospecies are defined that include tracks of extinct wooly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), western camel (Came/ops hesternus), Mexican horse (Equus conversidens), ancient bison (Bison antiquus), and extant caribou (Rangifer tarandus). Analysis of the tracks provides information on the biomechanics of locomotion and behaviour. Mammoth track data indicate a walking speed of four to five km/h for adult wooly mammoths. The behaviour of Pleistocene mammals, as revealed through tracks and tramplegrounds, is similar to that exhibited by their extant relatives, despite a long period since they shared a common ancestor. This indicates that extrapolating the behaviour of fossil animals from that of their modem relatives is valid. Mammoth tramplegrounds confirm previous Wally's Beach track studies that showed a deficit of juveniles, suggesting that Late Pleistocene mammoth populations in southern Alberta were in decline. Multigeneric trample grounds, formed in a short period of time, suggest high concentrations of mammals simultaneously inhabited the Pleistocene Albertan steppe. Wally's Beach horse bones provide new insights into human horse utilization, characteristics for identification, and Late Pleistocene relationships. Equus conversidens and E. lambei populations may be separated based on both qualitative characteristics and by quantitative methods. The humeri of E. conversidens are slightly longer on average than those of E. lambei. Quantitative analysis demonstrated that the Wally's Beach horses and the Yukon horses may be separated based on skull measurements. This method of separation could be useful for localities that are interpreted to have many horse species. Equus conversidens has a broader, boxier posterior skull and a relatively longer and narrower snout than E. lambei.

description: For well over five years, the Japanese economy has been stagnating and currently it appears to be mired in another recession. What should be done to break the Japanese economy out of its low growth state? What steps do policymakers need to take in order to promote a Japanese recovery? This paper tries to provide answers to these questions by first examining what are the underlying forces that are holding the Japanese economy back. The resulting analysis suggests mat increased informational problems in Japanese financial markets arc the primary sources of weakness in the Japanese economy. This view has important implications for what steps need to be taken to promote recovery and the final section of the paper outlines an approach to get the Japanese economy back on track.

description: The distribution of well-being in society and comparisons of well-being across societies depend both on the amount of inequality at the national level and also on the national average level of well-being. Comparisons between the U.S. and western Europe show that inequality is greater in the U.S. but that average GDP/capita is also greater in the U.S., and most Americans have higher standards of living than do Western Europeans at comparable locations in their national income distributions. What is less well-known is that (depending on the country) much or all of this gap arises from differences in the level of working hours in the U.S. and in Western Europe. Crossnational comparisons of well-being have typically relied on the methodology of generalized Lorenz curves (GLC), but this approach privileges disposable income and cash transfers while ignoring other aspects of welfare state and labor market structure that potentially affect the distribution of well-being in a society. We take an alternative approach that focuses on the value of time use and the different distributions of work and family time that are generated by each country's labor market and social welfare institutions. We show that reasonable estimates of the greater contribution to well-being from non-market activities such as the raising of children or longer vacations overturn claims in the literature that the U.S. offers greater well-being to more of its citizens than do Western European countries.

description: Der Beitrag untersucht die Berichterstattung zur Fußball EM 2012 und WM 2014 und fragt nach der medialen Konstruktion von Mental Maps, verstanden als vereinfachte geopolitische Vorstellungsbilder, im Kontext der Fußballturniere. Mit einer quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse deutscher und englischer Qualitäts- und Boulevardzeitungen wird in einer Vollerhebung der Berichterstattung zu den Turnieren erhoben, wie häufig auf die teilnehmenden Länder Bezug genommen wird. Über Korrelationsanalysen wird geprüft, inwieweit der Aufmerksamkeitsgrad für die Länder 1) mit den aus der klassischen Nachrichtenwertforschung bekannten Faktoren und 2) mit vorab definierten Faktoren aus dem Sport zusammenhängt. Die Befunde zeigen, dass in erster Linie auf die Gastgeberländer und das jeweils eigene Land des berichtenden Mediums Bezug genommen wird. Dahinter weist der Aufmerksamkeitsgrad für die teilnehmenden Länder Zusammenhänge mit sportspezifischen Faktoren auf, z.B. mit dem Erfolg im laufenden Turnier und mit dem an früheren Turniererfolgen gemessenen Status des Landes im Sport. Zusammenhänge mit klassischen Nachrichtenfaktoren wie politischer Status oder wirtschaftliche Nähe fallen deutlich schwächer aus. This paper examines the media coverage of the European Football Championship 2012 and the World Cup 2014. In the context of these sport events, it asks for the construction of mental maps in the media that are conceptualized as simplified geopolitical images. A quantitative content analysis of German and English quality papers and tabloids is conducted, recording the frequency of references to the participating countries. In correlation analyses, it is examined to what extent media attention that is given to a country relates to 1) factors known from classic news value research and 2) specific sports factors. Results show that it is most often referred to the tournament’s host country and the respective newspaper’s country. Sports-related factors such as success in the tournament and sports-related status of the country – based on previous tournaments – correlates stronger to media attention for a country than classic news factors such as political status and economic proximity.

description: Zusammenfassung Netzwerkeffekte des Medienkonsums entwickeln sich aus dem Nutzen einer Konversation mit anderen Personen über bestimmte informierende oder unterhaltende Medieninhalte. In Anlehnung an die Konsumkapitaltheorie sowie den Uses & Gratifications-Ansatz soll mithilfe einer Online-Befragung (nicht experimentell) eine Mediennutzungsstudie klären, ob sich Netzwerkeffekte im Mediensport empirisch nachweisen lassen. Die zentrale Forschungsfrage dabei lautet: Hängt der Nutzen medialer Sportangebote von positiven Netzwerkexternalitäten ab? Die Ergebnisse der Online-Befragung (n = 882) zeigen, dass Netzwerkeffekte in medialen Sportangeboten auftreten und sich empirisch nachweisen lassen. Das Konsumkapital hängt dabei nicht nur von der Mediennutzung und der Anschlusskommunikation ab, sondern vor allem vom Sportinteresse. Abstract Network effects of media consumption develop from the benefit of a conversation about certain media contents with other people. Based on the concept of consumption capital as well as the Uses & Gratifications Approach, a media use study might explain with the help of an online survey (non experimental) whether network effects can be empirically proved in media sports. Thereby, the central research question is: Does the benefit of media sports consumption depends on positive network externalities? The results of the online survey (n = 882) show that network effects appear and can be empirically proved. The consumption capital depends thereby not only on the media use and the follow-up communication, but above all on the interest in sports.

description: Background: Childhood asthma is a result of a complex interaction of genetic and environmental components causing epigenetic and immune dysregulation, airway inflammation and impaired lung function. Although different microarray based EWAS studies have been conducted, the impact of epigenetic regulation in asthma development is still widely unknown. We have therefore applied unbiased whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) to characterize global DNA-methylation profiles of asthmatic children compared to healthy controls. Methods: Peripheral blood samples of 40 asthmatic and 42 control children aged 5–15 years from three birth cohorts were sequenced together with paired cord blood samples. Identified differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were categorized in genotype-associated, cell-type-dependent, or prenatally primed. Network analysis and subsequent natural language processing of DMR-associated genes was complemented by targeted analysis of functional translation of epigenetic regulation on the transcriptional and protein level. Results: In total, 158 DMRs were identified in asthmatic children compared to controls of which 37% were related to the eosinophil content. A global hypomethylation was identified affecting predominantly enhancer regions and regulating key immune genes such as IL4, IL5RA, and EPX. These DMRs were confirmed in n = 267 samples and could be linked to aberrant gene expression. Out of the 158 DMRs identified in the established phenotype, 56 were perturbed already at birth and linked, at least in part, to prenatal influences such as tobacco smoke exposure or phthalate exposure. Conclusion: This is the first epigenetic study based on whole genome sequencing to identify marked dysregulation of enhancer regions as a hallmark of childhood asthma.

description: Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Studie verfolgt das Ziel, erstmals formale, sprachliche und inhaltliche Kriterien für Fußball-Live-Kommentierungen im Radio zu entwickeln und empirisch zu überprüfen. Hierfür werden Live-Konferenzen von vier randomisiert ausgewählten Bundesliga-Spieltagen der Spielzeit 2014/15 der öffentlich-recht­lichen ARD-Hörfunk-Sender und des Internet-Hörfunk-Senders Sport1.fm inhaltsanalytisch un­ter­sucht und verglichen. Die Konferenzen der ARD und von Sport1.fm haben unterschiedliche Stärken und Schwächen. So unterlaufen den Sport1.fm-Reportern die gravierenderen Fehler. Dafür schneiden sie bei Live- und Tor-Schilderungen auf Grund von präziseren Beschreibungen besser ab als die ARD-Re­porter. Diese schildern dagegen deutlich mehr Szenen nach. Die einzelnen Einblendungen der ARD-Konferenzen sind kürzer; es wird häufiger unter den Reportern gewechselt. Während bei Sport1.fm von quasi ent­schiedenen Spielen kaum noch berichtet wird, ist die Schwerpunkt-Setzung der ARD weniger konsequent. Spielstände werden auf beiden Sender sehr oft genannt. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse können dazu dienen, die auf hohem Niveau befindlichen Radio-Kommentierungen in Konferenzschaltungen qualitativ weiter zu verbessern. Abstract The present study aims to develop and to test formal, linguistic and content-related differences of live radio coverage of football matches for the first time. Therefore a content analysis was conducted covering four randomly chosen live radio broadcasts of matchdays of the German Bundesliga season 2014/15. Broadcasts of two radio stations have been compared: the public service radio ARD and the internet radio station Sport1.fm. These broadcasts show different strengths and weaknesses. In general reporters of Sport1.fm make more serious mistakes. Concerning crucial and goal situations they perform better by describing more precisely. Within the ARD broadcast reporters, however, describe noticeably more scenes of the past. The single flashes of the ARD conferences are shorter, the frequency of changes between the reporters is higher. Whereas Sport1.fm barely reports of more or less decided games, the focus of certain games is less consistent at the ARD. The reporters of both stations behave disciplined in mentioning the score but special situations in the game are hardly anticipated. The knowledge gained is intended to improve the already high-quality conferences even further.

description: Zusammenfassung Die Aufgabe von Satire wird häufig darin gesehen, als Kritiker des Zeitgeschehens in der Medienöffentlichkeit eine Korrektivfunktion zu erfüllen. Davon ausgehend, dass der Sport geeignete Anknüpfungspunkte für satirische Kritik bietet, die in den Nachrichtenmedien hinter Spielberichterstattungen zurückstehen, untersucht der Beitrag die Behandlung von Sportthemen in TV-Satireformaten. Gefragt wird 1) nach der Häufigkeit von Sportthemen in den Sendungen und 2) nach der inhaltlichen Aufbereitung der Themen. Mit einer quantitativen und einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse werden die Kabarettsendung Die Anstalt, die Nachrichtenparodie heute show und die Late Night-Show Neo Magazin Royale im Zeitraum von Januar 2014 bis April 2016 untersucht. Die Befunde zeigen, dass der Sport nur Randthema in den Satiresendungen ist. Bezogen auf die Olympiade in Sotchi, die Vorberichterstattung zur WM 2014 und den DFB-Skandal um die Vergabe der WM 2006 lässt sich aber aufzeigen, dass die Sendungen inhaltliche Kritik an Politik, Sportorganisationen, Medien und in einigen Fällen am Publikum und Sportler_innen leisten. Abstract This paper starts from the idea that satire is asked to criticize current affairs not only regarding political and societal issues but also in the field of sports, picking up problems and dysfunctions in the sports system. Combining a quantitative and a qualitative content analysis on three prominent German TV satirical formats, it is analyzed 1) how frequently the shows deal with sports issues and 2) how sports issues are covered in the shows. In a time period between January 2014 and April 2016 the analysis refers to the cabaret show Die Anstalt, the fake news show heute show, and the late night-show Neo Magazin Royale. Findings reveal that sports are an only marginal issue in the shows. However, several contributions deal with Olympia in Sotchi, the run up to the Football World Cup 2014, and the scandal involving the DFB and the awarding of the Football World Cup 2006 to Germany. Findings from the qualitative analysis demonstrate that in the depiction of these issues the shows fulfill their critical function. They reflect on grievances and misbehavior in politics as well as in sport associations and point at stereotypes in the news media’s coverage on sport events. In some cases, they criticize the audience and statements from athletes.

description: Current global warming causes alteration of ecological service but its actual impacts on ecology and distribution of biodiversity is largely unexplored in Malaysia. In particular, high elevation mountain ecosystem with high species diversity and endemic species. The climate change research on tropical mountains lack the knowledge of (1) good quality species occurrence data, (2) the fundamental niches of the species, and (4) the evolutionary history of the species that related to past climate changes. Hence, this study aims to: (1) Identify the indicator species by comparing the changes of distribution range of land snails; (2) characterise the fundamental niche for selected species that have shifted their ranges based on (1); and (3) reconstruct the phylogeography of the selected species by phylogenetic analysis and ecological niche modelling. The study will be conducted on Mount Kinabalu and Crocker Range. For objective (1), elevational distribution range changes of the 100 land snail species will be obtained by comparing current distribution with with the data collected from 142 plots between 2005 and 2006 by Liew et al. (2010). After that, 40 plots will be setup for selected land snails species where the habitat variables and microclimates will be obtained. Next, phylogeny of the species will be estimated by two mitochondrial and one nuclear genes. We will analysis distribution data in light of the phylogeny to infer the historical processes (e.g. tectonics, climate oscillation) that may be responsible for current geographic distribution. In addition, we used ecological niche modelling to predict suitable environments and areas of dramatic decrease in future suitability. At the end, this study will provide an insight into how species would response to the alteration of habitat and microclimate in the past, and these data are important for subsequently long term monitoring of climate changes.

Background Considerations to a Re-regulation of the U.S. Financial System: Third Time a Charm? Or Strike Three?

description: aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis, the Federal Reserve converted section 13, paragraph c of the March 21, 1933 Amendment to the Glass-Steagall Act into a permanent feature of its lender of last resort function through the discounting of the mortgage assets of investment banks and other capital market institutions such as primary and broker dealers. This has brought forth suggestions that the same prudential regulations that are applied to deposit takers be extended to investment banks and broker/dealers, while leaving the 1999 Gramm-Bliley-Leach Financial Services Modernization Act unchanged. The former U.S. Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, had also recommended consolidation and extension of the writ of certain regulatory agencies. However, the history of financial regulation in the United States suggests that this would simply be a repeat of the reactions, by legislators and regulators, to two previous financial crises, neither of which has proved durable or capable of providing financial stability.

description: In order to plan strategies for adaptation to climate change, the current effects of climate on economic growth needs to be understood. This study reviews evidence of climate effects on economic growth and presents original analysis of the effect in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Case studies from the literature demonstrate that historically, climate has had significant and negative effects on household income, agricultural productivity and economic growth in SSA. This study focuses on the effects hydroclimatic variability on economic growth in the countries of SSA. We utilize a new national level precipitation statistic that incorporates spatial and temporal variability within each country. Country level economic growth statistics are analyzed with cross-country and panel regressions. Persistent negative precipitation anomalies (drought) are found to be the most significant climate influence on economic growth. This result is consistent across all model specifications and across several measures of welfare and economic activity. Temperature and precipitation variability show significant effects in some cases. Results imply the consideration of hydroclimatic risks, namely drought, may be the priority concern for adaptation to a changing climate for Sub-Saharan Africa. This conclusion is contrary to the focus of many climate change impact assessments that focus on temperature increases as the primary concern.
